The Prime Minister of Australia (aka Apartheid Australia), Kevin Rudd, is visiting India for several days – he arrived in Mumbai on Wednesday 7 November.
Indian media should put some tough questions to this extreme right wing, pro-war, pro-coal, pro-pollution PM of a rich but irresponsible, greedy, violent and racist country that is a world leader in per capita greenhouse gas pollution and which acutely threatens India, South Asia and indeed the World with Climate Genocide.
US lackey Australia is involved in genocide commission, genocide denial, and mass murder of Asians through its participation in the Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide (post-invasion excess deaths 2.3 million and 3-7 million, respectively) and supports Apartheid Israel in its ongoing Palestinian Genocide, even when it commits war crimes against Middle Eastern Australian citizens.
Here are 21 questions Indian journalists should put to PM Kevin Rudd during his current visit to India (they are being sent to major Indian and South Asian media).
1. Australia sells uranium to the war criminal, nuclear terrorist states of the US, UK and France, and supports war criminal, nuclear terrorist rogue state Apartheid Israel. Australia sells uranium to China. So why won’t Australia sell uranium to India?
2. Australia has passed race-based legislation excluding Northern Territory Indigenous Australians (Aboriginals) from the protection of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act. Since Indigenous Australians are ethnically related to South Indians and since Australia notoriously used to racially discriminate against Indians and indeed all non-Europeans up to 1975, will Australia similarly exclude Indians or other non-Europeans from the protection of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act?
3. According to the egregiously dishonest Bush Administration “official version” of 9/11, no Iraqis or Afghan were involved in the alleged aircraft hijackings for which nobody has been tried and found guilty in a court of law. Further, the latest scientific evidence from the Chemistry Department, University of Copenhagen points to explosive demolition of the World Trade Center buildings and hence to US responsibility for the atrocity. Why were Australian troops sent to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan and why are they still there?
4. Australia has been directly involved in the invasion and devastation of a swathe of Asian countries since 1950 including Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, and Iraq (these wars being associated with 25 million Indigenous excess deaths) and has provided financial and diplomatic support for Apartheid Israel in its invasion, occupation, and devastation of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Palestine. Why does Australia involve itself in mass murder of Asians and will it invade further Asian countries?
5. Australia gave its highest honour, the Order of Australia, to an eminent historian whose latest books on world history omitted any mention of the 1769-1770 Bengal Famine (10 million killed by the British) or the World War 2 Bengal Famine (6-7 million Indians murdered by the British). Australia recently accepted back the Order of Australia from a crooked Zionist businessman (whose funeral PM Rudd attended) who feared he would be stripped of the award – will it take back the historian’s Order of Australia for ignoring immense, British-imposed Indian holocausts?
6. Only 3 Australian have died in the last 3 decades from a terrorist bombing, the 3 victims of the 1978 Sydney Hilton Hotel Bombing that threatened the life of Indian PM Indira Gandhi. It is widely believed that the Australian security service was unintentionally but incompetently responsible for the Hilton Hotel Bombing – will the culprits be brought to justice?
7. Australia’s allies in the Afghan Genocide, the US, have invade Pakistan with robot bombs and troops who thus became the first Anglo troops to occupy former British Raj territory since 1947. Will forces of US lackey Australia similarly invade former British Raj territory?
8. There are about 100,000 overseas students studying in Australia (about 20,000 of them Indians) in an “education export” industry that involves outrageously high tuition fees, other provider scams, dumbing down of courses for financial gain (selling degrees), a widespread mechanism for selling Australian residence via higher education and the continuing bashing of Indian students. Can you explain the justification for the Australian Governments permitting these frauds and crimes to continue?
9. Indian students and tourists wishing to visit Australia have to fill out and personally, physically present a special visa application form for non-Europeans and “poor Whites” whereas Whites and “honorary Whites” can rapidly get a visa by simple electronic submission of a separate form. Can you explain this New White Australia policy to Indians?
10. “Annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year” is 0.9 (Bangladesh), 0.9 (Pakistan), 2.2 (India), 3.2 (the Developing World), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 16 (the Developed World), 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia’s huge Exported CO2 pollution is included. Given the worsening climate emergency, how can Australia justify an annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution 25 times greater than India’s and 60 times greater than that of Bangladesh?
11. Top UK climate scientist Dr James Lovelock FRS has estimated that fewer than 1 billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made climate change, with Australia being a major culprit – a climate genocide that is estimated to kill 10 billion people including 6 billion infants, 3 billion Muslims, 2 billion Indians, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis. How can Australia justify its disproportionate involvement in the climate genocide of 2 billion Indians?
12. Australia plans to spend a further 100 billion dollars on defence. Might not Australia consider that fair dealings, cessation of Asian wars and cessation of the mass murder of Asian children might be a more fruitful strategy?
13. The annual death rate is 7.0% for under-5 year old infants in Australia-occupied Afghanistan (South Asia) – as compared to that of 4% (for Poles under the Nazis in World War 2), 5% (French Jews under the Nazis and the Nazi-collaborator Vichy régime in World War 2), 13% (Australian POWs of the Japanese in World War 2) and 19% (Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe). Some of those responsible for World War 2 war crimes were brought to justice – does Australia think it can evade justice at the International Criminal Court for even worse crimes?
14. Indian PM Manmohan Singh has pledged that India’s annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution will not exceed the average for Developing Countries (currently 2.2 and 3.2 tonnes per person per year for India and the Developing World, respectively) – but Australia has, very conditionally, said it might, at best, deliver a Domestic and Exported per capita GHG pollution in 2020 15 times that projected for the Developing World. How can climate criminal Apartheid Australia justify this disparity – does it have a special dispensation for criminality like Apartheid Israel?
15. PM Rudd’s predecessor as leader of the Australian Labor Party, Arthur Calwell, declared that “2 Wongs do not make a White” but in terms of per capita greenhouse gas pollution Australia today is declaring that “60 Bengalis do not make a White”. Mr Prime Minister, can you justify this horrendous de facto climate racism?
16. PM Rudd recently declared that people smugglers who each year try to find safe haven in Australia for several thousand mainly Muslin and Tamil refugees are “scum”. However the racist Zionists and the countries of the US Alliance, including Australia, have generated 18-20 million refugees (7 million Palestinians, 5-6 million Iraqis and 3-4 million Afghans plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees from North West Pakistan under Obama policies). If the people smugglers are “scum”, how then do we describe those responsible for generating about 20 million Muslim refugees in the first place?
17. India is building a huge wall to rival not just the Berlin Wall and the Apartheid Israeli Wall in Occupied Palestine but also the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall of India surrounding Bangladesh is ostensibly to keep out “smugglers” but it is clearly directed at the prospect of millions of climate refugees from Bangladesh (the Myanmar hurricane disaster alone generated 2 million refugees). Since Australia has a disproportionate role in man-made global warming, should it not bear a disproportionate burden in caring for the climate refugees its selfish policies generate?
18. The annual death rate is 2.4% for Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory of Australia as compared to 0.4% (what it should be), 2.5% for Australian sheep and 0.85% for Indians. How can Australia, one of the richest countries in the world, justify imposing a death rate on its most vulnerable citizens that is 3 times that in impoverished India?
19. US- and Apartheid Israel-beholden Australia has undertaken an international campaign to get it a seat on the UN Security Council. How can Australia (population 21 million) justify excluding India (population 1,148 million) from a seat on the UN Security Council?
20. India’s neighbour, the Maldives, will surely disappear this century due to man-made global warming, sea level rise and intensification of tropical hurricanes. Australia is a disproportionate contributor to man-made global warming and climate genocide. How does Australia think India and the World will respond to climate criminal Australia’s callous, remorseless commitment to global climate genocide?
21. The Himalayan glacier source for half the water in the Ganges is predicted to disappear by 2035 – and climate criminal Australia has a major responsibility for this looming catastrophe due to its immensely disproportionate Domestic plus Exported greenhouse gas pollution (25 times that of India). How can Australia justify its greedy, callous and racist attack on the very life and soul of India?
Dr Gideon Polya published some 130 works in a 4 decade scientific career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, New York & London, 2003). He has recently published “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ) and an updated 2008 version of his 1998 book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History, Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2008: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ). He is currently teaching Biochemistry theory and practical courses to second year university agricultural science students at a very good Australian university.
