From: Paul Edwards, mutazilah@gmail.com To: Committee Secretary, PJCIS, PO Box 6021, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600, Australia Date: 2021-01-16 Dear Sir, This is the FIFTH ADDENDUM to my previous submission regarding: "Inquiry into extremist movements and radicalism in Australia". In my fourth addendum, I suggested that the Australian government set up a free speech server and encourage Al Qaeda and Nazis to turn up and speak their mind so that citizens of the entire free world are given an opportunity to out-debate them and hopefully get them to change their mind (and if not, arrange for people LIKE THEM (doesn't need to be them exactly) to be killed). They should be allowed to "glorify a terrorist act" (like 9/11). They should even be able to say "Someone should assassinate Paul Edwards, he is an enemy of Islam". I do not believe that anyone will actually be incited by such a statement that wasn't already incited. It is a natural thing to think - "I wish he were dead" - whenever you encounter an ideological enemy. What SHOULDN'T be allowed is saying "Paul Edwards lives at 123 Infidel St, Allawah, let's all assemble outside his home with baseball bats at 9am tomorrow and beat him to death". The same as people shouldn't be given an opportunity to join forces to launch the Charlie Hebdo attack. There shouldn't be an opportunity for 2 terrorists to join together in an attack. Another thing about the "free speech platform" is that it should be restricted to English. Machine translation isn't good enough to understand what terrorists are saying. We don't need every single terrorist to turn up to voice their opinion, we just need ONE, who is representative of the MENTALITY. Well, ideally we need more than one, as we want them to put up the best arguments available for their cause. It is more-or-less physically impossible that the best pro-terrorism argument is only available/held by one guy who only speaks Arabic, and that he would only be willing to divulge this brilliant argument if the Australian government allows him to write in Arabic. Note that I am not expecting open slather free speech to generate any extra crime at all, and it would be quite difficult to even detect such a change. However, I could be wrong. If I am wrong, then the Australian government should reserve the right to change its server policy. But before jumping to the conclusion that I am definitely wrong, that no testing is required, let's look at other situations where the Australian government has grossly erred. For DECADES, X-rated and "Unclassified" porn was unable to be sold in NSW - even to adults. We were assured that the government was "protecting" us (in actual fact, they were violating our human rights). There was a theory that without this "protection" that there would be hordes of rapists. To add insult to injury, there was a special category of Australians, the only first-class citizens, called "censors", who were able to watch whatever they want and were apparently immune from turning into "raging rapists" (it is unclear exactly what quiz the Australian government gave them to determine they were immune - it was probably the same test that the Pope gave to Catholic priests). Then the internet arrived, completely bypassing all censorship. There were no hordes of "raging rapists". To this date the Australian government has not apologized to the Australian people for violating their human rights for so long. In fairness to the NSW government, they did eventually stop violating people's right to get money for sex instead of only being allowed to do it for free, and now brothels are legal (and regulated), and finally we have something that REALLY reduces sex crime. Another Australian government insanity is speed limits. Whenever governments around the world have eliminated speed limits, even temporarily, there has not been any evidence of mass carnage, or any detectable change at all. The government actually runs ads saying "speed kills". This is technically true. But what they fail to point out is that the speed of the SPEED LIMIT (e.g. 110 km/hr) is more than sufficient to kill. A more appropriate ad would be "The current speed limit is set to a fatal setting - please contact your MP to lobby to have it reduced to 10 km/hr so that we're no worse off than when we were using horses". It would be good to have a government apology on that one too. Or just be honest and say that the 1500 dead per year is the price we need to pay for the convenience of being able to visit granny quickly instead of just contacting her via Zoom. I'd now like to discuss "damage limitation" strategies with regards to extremists, especially with regard to immigration. But first we need to lay some groundwork. The Australian government needs to go to war with "political correctness". This war may be so intense that the American government may get involved and threaten Australia with trade sanctions. If that happens, let it be known that the American government is responsible for continued international terrorism, and then back down to whatever the Americans will allow. But first make a concession to the left-wing communist ratbags who use Aboriginals for political gain. There is a sign on a letterbox near where I live that says "Change the date - no pride in genocide". Actually there is no reason in particular to celebrate the arrival of the first fleet. The FIVE (5) people Australia-wide who could care less about that can just hold their own private celebration. In addition, there is no particular reason to celebrate Australia being created at all. This actually happened on 1st January, which is already a public holiday, but literally no-one in Australia even remembers that when they wake up drunk as a skunk on 1st January. So what you should do is say that 26th January will no longer be officially celebrated. Instead, you should encourage the Chinese government to have a day of mourning for this date, and for left-wing Australian ratbags to head to China to participate in the commemorations. If the Chinese government "cares" enough about Afghan civilians murdered by some rogue Australian soldiers to go to the effort of creating a doctored image of an Australian soldier killing an Afghan child with a knife, then they presumably "care" about Aborigines to the same extent. Specifically ask them to come up with another doctored image of the Australian PM slitting the throat of an Aboriginal child. The left-wing ratbags will have no idea what to make of this. Wait for a week before delivering the killer punch - Australia will instead be celebrating "International Freedom Day" on 4th June to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre on 1989-06-04. Next thing to fix is the "Queen's birthday". The Queen herself neither celebrates this day nor even knows what the date is. We should change this to "Tank Man's birthday". No-one knows when his birthday is either, or even who he is. This is very fitting for Australia. The Australian government has already made a good step against political correctness with their advertising slogan of "where the bloody hell are you?". The Chaser took it to the next level changing it to something like "where the fuck are you, motherfuckers?". Now the Australian government needs to go in with another killer punch - "Why the fuck aren't you Wogs here - are you racist against Skips or what?". It will take a while for people to understand the significance of that. There will be a lot of international wailing, but it is unlikely the Americans would institute trade sanctions (or war) for that, so it would be "under the guns". Now on to immigration. The new policy of the Australian government should be that anyone whose country of origin is so bad that they need political asylum should first of all send a letter to the Australian government that says "Hello Australian government. My country, Xyz, is failing to protect my human rights, specifically a, b and c. Please arrange for the ADF to liberate my country and install a constitution that will protect these rights. I am not concerned whether the new administrator is an Australian or an allied local - that is up to your discretion.". The Australian government should make a determination whether those alleged "human rights" really are rights, and whether the current government is genuinely failing to protect those rights and then give an estimate of where this country is in the queue for the ADF (and allies) to liberate. It is unreasonable that just a lucky few get to escape their home country. Especially no priority should be given to those who can afford to fly to Indonesia and pay for people smugglers and have no qualms about breaking Australian law and queue-jumping. The right thing to do is to fix the problem for EVERYONE, including people who don't even speak English, but are well aware that their human rights are being violated. In the case of China, and specifically Hong Kong, we know that the ADF will never be arriving. The ADF doesn't have the technical ability to get past China's nuclear shield, at least at the moment. The people of Hong Kong have tasted freedom (to a large extent), both under the British and even with Chinese communist troops occupying their city. It was only on 2020-06-30 that the people of Hong Kong truly lost their freedom. It is particularly cruel that these people who know exactly what it means to be free, have seen that disappear in front of their eyes. While I support (as part of human rights) an adult's right to use his freedom of speech to claim a book that supports gassing Jews or raping women is "holy" or "inerrant", NOBODY has some gods-given right to enter Australia. If we choose to give favoritism to citizens of New Zealand (which we do), that is totally up to us. But let's look at New Zealand. They are such left-wing lunatics that they even refused to live up to the ANZUS commitments even while the Cold War was in progress. They also opposed liberating Iraq in 2003. These people are not friends of the free world. We should no longer be giving Australian jobs to them. They can manage their own affairs in their own little cesspit. They have freedom of speech and democracy so they are empowered to come to their senses in their own time and then we can reevaluate. So where should we get our immigrants from? No country, race, religion speaks with one voice. There are people who share so-called "Australian values" everywhere. But in some places they are a small minority. There is no particular reason to be taking people from these places. Those people should simply wait for the arrival of the ADF, so that they can have all the benefits of Australia in their own country, and all their fellow citizens get the same benefit. In Hong Kong we have a duty similar to that of resupplying West Berlin. Any Hong Kong resident who is willing to say "I am a global citizen. I have no affinity to ethnic Chinese or the nation of China. I just happen to speak the Chinese language, the same as Taiwan (another member of the free world) does. I am a man of science and I hold no supposedly-inerrant dogma. Especially no non-humanist dogma such as communism. I already hold what you refer to as 'Australian values', and I have recent history of risking my physical and economic well-being trying to uphold those values, which is more than any Australian can say other than the brave soldiers of the ADF." should be evacuated as soon as the Australian economy can handle it. Any other foreigner who complains about not being able to get into Australia should be told that instead of complaining about their own inconvenience they should be complaining about the poor people of Hong Kong being stuck under the cruel Chinese dictator, and be helping change their own country's political system so that they too can take in Hong Kong refugees. The bilateral arrangement between Australia and the US can stay, as very few people are interested in travelling in either direction, so there is no harm in catering for those. When we've finished evacuating the 60% pro-democracy Hong Kong citizens we can look at reopening immigration from other places. Now for the controversial stuff that may provoke trade sanctions or even war with the US. And may require us to withdraw from UN treaties. We should no longer accept any immigrants who subscribe to any supposedly-inerrant dogma. This is broad-ranging. There are some who claim that the US Second Amendment is a gods-given right (that only adults have, and only one sort of weapon, not an RPG) that cannot be disputed. There are some who claim that Marx's rantings are indisputable. There are some who claim that the bible is indisputable. Australia is not so desperate for immigrants that we need to accept such people. There are some people who are confused about their religion, so should be given a chance to clarify their position. E.g. someone from the Philippines may claim to be "born a Catholic". The immigration department can respond with "Babies have no concept of religion. Do you mean you were indoctrinated as a child into the Catholic religion?". If they can answer "Yes" to that, then move on. "What is the most disgusting ideology that Jesus held, that is incompatible with Australian values?". Correct answer is "Pacifism in the face of evil - that saw many Christians wanting to forgive Saddam for his horrendous crimes instead of going and arresting him". The Australian government has a "revised bible" that has removed the various references to stoning people to death, and in Chapter 1 Verse 1 has "Slavery is wrong. Racism (including anti-white racism) is wrong. Rape is wrong.". "What do you think of that?". "Love it". Ok, you can migrate to Australia. Similar questions need to be asked of potential Muslim immigrants. "What were Mohammad's biggest crimes?". "He was a slave trader, a pedophile, a rapist, a murderer and a thief.". "Did he do anything good at all?". "Yes, he ended the cultural practice of killing baby girls.". "Have you seen the revised version of the Koran published by the Australian government?". "Yes, it's great that you removed 33:50 saying that it is OK to rape slaves, but you left in 27:18 that introduces the concept of 'talking ants' - priceless! (And harmless, and strategic)". Another thing that should be cleaned up - when I was doing a stint as an English teacher I did some training to be a potential teacher for immigrants. I noticed a question from the Australian government that went "What values is Australia founded on?". Possibilities were "Readings from the Koran", "Judeo-Christianity" and "Secularism". Even though I was born in Australia, I assumed the answer was "secularism". As far as I know, all Australian laws are now secular, there's nothing based on the bible. But the correct answer is "Judeo-Christianity". I don't even know what that is supposed to mean. There is no clear definition of "Christianity". Certainly the Australian government isn't promoting the stoning to death of anyone working on the Sabbath. Quite the contrary. People often get paid extra for working on Sunday, and Australia no longer even has the death penalty, much less using stoning as the method of killing.
