Censorship in Australia. Yes 18C was a Jewish plot.
Walter Lippman's Racial Discrimination Act
 |
| Walter Lippman |
You can read more about how the Jewish 'Empire Builder' Walter Lippman, whose family were distinguished members of Jewry in Weimar Germany, lobbied for the Racial Discrimination Act of 1975 itself here.
In this article I will show that the 18C clause of the act inserted under the Keating government in 1995 to restrict race related speech was also an effort by organised Jewry in Australia, specifically the Zionist Federation of Australia in coordination with Jews in law and academia.
If we are ever to have a national conversation about free speech in this country it should become fairly clear that Jews need to be front and center of that discussion.
Ron Castan's National Inquiry into Racist Violence
An interesting fact regarding this report is that of the seven academics consulted, four were Jewish, something that seems disproportionate given Jews make up 0.5% of Australia's population. This coincidence is obviously because of their relationship to Irene Moss, an Asian lady and not because of their relationship to Castan.
These individuals were Andrew Markus - Professor of Jewish civilisation, Stephen Castles - Professor of migration and refugee studies, Andrew Jakubowicz - Professor of multiculturalism & Joseph Szwarc. These people keep popping up every now and then advocating things like more immigration, more censorship etc. Notably Andrew Markus was expert witness at the landmark prosecution of Brendan O'Connell under the Western Australian state Racial Vilification law which sent him to jail for 18 months for saying "Jews are the most racist people" when he was called a racist by a Jew at a Pro-Palestine protest.
This report provided the initial justification for the laws, now members of parliament needed to be lobbied to implement them.
Ron Castan's links to Arnold Bloch-Leibler
Historically known as a Jewish law firm run by Jews like Arnold Bloch and Mark Leibler and hiring Jews such as Joseph Gersh (who Turnbull put on the board of the ABC) and Peter Seidel (who pro-bono sued the Victorian Police for $1M over racial profiling of Sudanese individuals) it has more recently diversity hired people like Nyadol Nyuon (who surprise surprise says Australians need to be censored more).
I could go on about the involvement of this firm in the 80s 'bottom of the harbor' tax avoidance schemes but that will have to wait for another day.
Anyway it's not a coincidence one of the boardrooms at Arnold Bloch-Leibler's Melbourne office is named after Ron Castan. The pro-bono work Peter Seidel was initially hired for was a native title case which Ron Castan wanted ABL to take on and chapter 15 of Leibler's biography "The Power Broker" is all about this:
In 1993, the human rights lawyer, Ron Castan QC, came to see Mark Leibler to ask whether ABL would take on an Indigenous land rights claim.
Ron Castan also had a bottom of the harbor trust set up. Nice.
Mark Leibler was also, at the time, the President of the Zionist Federation of Australia. His son, Jeremy Leibler, now holds the position. The ZFA is the organisation responsible for the lobbying involved with getting this law passed.
Lobbying by the Zionist Federation of Australia's Helene Teichmann
From Chapter 10 of "The Power Broker":
On one of [Leibler's] trips to Canberra he met Helene Teichmann. Don Chip's senior adviser, who had very good contacts in the ALP. Her former husband, Max Teichmann, had been a renowned lecturer in politics at Monash University.
Teichmann was hired due to her connections within the ALP as a lobbyist for the Zionist Federation of Australia:
When Leibler offered Teichmann the job of communications director at the ZFA, with the promise that she would be executive director within months, she accepted immediately.
In 1993 Teichmann organised meetings with members of various ethnic communities to convince and obtain their agreement that racial vilification legislation was required.
From Chapter 14 of "The Power Broker":
it was, nevertheless, a victory for Teichmann, who had organised the meetings of leaders of several ethnic communities - Greek, Italian, Chinese and Vietnamese, among others - that led to a unified position on the need for racial vilification legislation.
and later meetings with the immigration minister Nick Bolkus to lobby for the laws:
... in April 1993, ostensibly over a meeting Teichmann had organised for Mark Leibler and a delegation of ZFA officials with her good friend, the newly appointed Immigration Minister, Nick Bolkus. By then Leibler had attended meetings of ethnic community leaders that Teichmann had organised. The Keating government was considering the introduction of racial vilification legislation into the federal parliament and had circulated draft legislation for comment from interested groups.
The addition of 18C was announced at a ZFA banquet by Paul Keating
If Leibler's biography isn't enough evidence, newspaper reports from 1994 show that Paul Keating announced the new laws himself at banquet of the Zionist Federation of Australia. Not only the Labor Party cabinet but also most of the Liberal Party and former Prime Ministers. According to the Australian Jewish News of June 3, 1994:
An estimated 500 guests packed the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.. it was a politically star studded guest list with.. half the Cabinet and most of the Liberal Party. There was a brace of former Prime Ministers - Bob Hawke and Malcolm Fraser, new deputy opposition leader, Peter Costello, Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett and a huge list of cabinet ministers, Federal and State MPs, significant government departmental officers including Michael Costello, head of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and a goodly proportion of the Melbourne list in BRW's top richest 200 Australians.
This is confirmed again by the article "PM backs racial vilification bill" from the Sydney Morning Herald on May 30, 1994 stating that the new law was announced at the ZFA, that Peter Costello appeared to support the bill and that the Executive Council of Australian Jewry was rubbing it's hands at the thought:
Is this indicative of a trend by organised Jewry to censor Australians?
In 2018 NSW passed a law against 'incitement to violence' (perhaps purposely ill-defined). This was the result of a two year long campaign by the then chairman of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, Vic Alhadeff to organise ethnic communities in a similar manner to that described above to demand the law.
A speech from Andrea Coote in the Victorian Parliament on 14 June 2001 speaks to the importance of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act in that state to her Jewish constituents and the impression of community members on who held the desire for it. An excerpt reads:
My electorate is an interesting one.
It contains a number of multicultural groups, but by far the majority of my province is in the lower house electorate of Caulfield, where we have probably the largest Jewish community in Australia and certainly the largest number of Holocaust survivors outside Israel.
I am very proud to be speaking on their behalf. They have lobbied me significantly and I have a lot of understanding and sympathy for the feelings they have expressed. Many people have spoken about this bill as a Jewish bill. I take umbrage at that because I believe it is a multicultural bill. It is not just about the Jewish community, although it is seriously concerned about this issue. As other members have said, it is a multicultural bill that affects the many people who constitute the population of Victoria. I know my Jewish constituents best, so I will concentrate on some of the issues of concern to them. I would like to reinforce that this is not a Jewish bill. I will quote from a letter from the presbytery of Benalla dated 20 February. It says:
There is no public demand for such legislation. It seems only the Jewish B'nai B'rith movement wants it, as they do around the world.
Abroad the Anti Defamation League of B'nai B'rith holds notoriety for its campaigns to silence people, particularly in the US, a nation where citizens are supposed to enjoy a constitutionally protected right to free speech and they hold huge responsibility for the proliferation of online censorship where private companies can be lobbied to apply censorship.
If you've ever seen Dvir Abramovich, the president of the ADL's Australian chapter, the Anti Defamation Commission of B'nai B'rith, in the media chances are he would have been saying some sort of speech or behaviour is unacceptable and calling for censorship.
The Online Hate Prevention Institute run by a Jew named Andre Obeler exists to campaign for internet censorship. While it claims to be against all online hate you could easily conclude from a quick search that the organisation's primary concern is antisemitism.
It seems to be quite clear that more than any other group, Jews are aggressively invested in censorship legislation. There are no other ethnic groups that even come close to going to these sort of lengths to obtain it. The questions that need to be asked is how much censorship and tyranny is enough? And finally WHY exactly do Jews need this amount of censorship? If you are a campaigner for free speech in Australia you won't be able to avoid asking these questions if you want to get anywhere.
