We have witnessed a dangerous trend in Western nations including Australia in recent years - a form of censorship and thought control by bullying, name calling and character assassination.
For the first time in our recent history, Australians have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist,
or sexist, or homophobic.
An ideological alliance of left-wing journalists, academics, judges and politicians who see themselves as a cultural and intellectual elite, have, without consultation with ordinary Australians, decided on certain social policies relating to multiculturalism, aboriginal affairs and immigration. They will allow no debate on these
policies. They have created terms such as racist, sexist and homophobe to
intimidate and to stifle dissent to their radical views.
Anybody raising the issues is howled down, called a "racist" and savagely vilified. Certain topics, such as Aboriginal crime rates and Asian and Muslim immigration levels have become "no-go" areas for journalists.
The elites defend their politically correct agenda with the fervour of religious fanatics. They are the very essence of bigots, (an epithet they love to bestow on dissenters).
This extreme intolerance of other viewpoints reached its zenith with the emergence of Pauline Hanson. She dared to open debate on Aboriginal welfare and Asian immigration. As a result Australians witnessed very disturbing scenes of One Nation public meetings disrupted, and innocent people assaulted, by screaming mobs of thuggish hooligans whipped into a frenzy by sustained media attacks. This
was un-Australian. It bordered on Nazism. It was blatant abuse of power by the
mainstream media.
People are afraid to speak out with opinions that don't accord with the conventional wisdom created by the elites. The agenda is set without debate.
The setting of informed agendas and the capacity to enter into debate are signs of a healthy society. It is not good for a society when people feel intimidated about what they can say.
This site will give voice to the frustrations of a large number of mainstream Australians who are sick of media bias, bullying and hype. We will publish material relating to the journalists' "no-go" areas.
The site and its author are totally independent. We are not controlled or
influenced by any outside parties. We have no alliances with any political party. We are not controlled or influenced by the politically correct orthodoxy of Australian journalists.
