Will the most powerful anti-democratic force in Australia leave the new Governor-General alone? Not likely!

When there's a buck to be earned pumping poison into the community Murdoch's News Limited machine will be grinding overtime. And why not now when it's faced with the easy prospect of a conservative, morally traditional Governor-General who is brazen enough to come out as a Christian? Equivalent to a dozen free kicks in an MCG grand final!

Fresh from leading the pack that destroyed the former Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, the hyperactive juvenile editor of the (un-)Australian has sooled a posse of his servile reporters onto former SAS Commander, Major-General Michael Jeffery, who with his very feminine morally traditional wife has just taken up residence at Yarralumla, the Governor-General's official residence in Canberra.

Michael Stutchbury's little posse of compliant reporters (Roger Martin, Matt Price and Patricia Karvelas) has done him proud . This is what they have managed dig up on the new Governor-General at this early stage (The (un-)Australian, 24 June 2003):

'During his time as West Australian governor, he earned a reputation as a hardline conservative...'
supports 'controversial juvenile boot camps'
calls 'for de facto relationships not to be recognised without counselling'
criticises 'the televising of Sydney's gay and lesbian mardi gras'
'He once infamously suggested assimilation could help restore the self-esteem and dignity of aborigines'
'an embargoed copy of the same speech referred to full and part-blood Aborigines...'
as Governor of Western Australia he 'leapt in to bat for disgruntled multi-millionaire Gina Rinehart' in her dispute with Rose Porteous
'His time as governor (of Western Australia) showed he was prepared to to stray into politics...'

In the 23 June edition of the (un-)Australian, Major-General Jeffery is quoted as saying that he believed 'passionately that the Vietnam War was a just cause in the circumstances of the time'.

I don't have to point out to the reader that this is a list of the most monstrous politically incorrect sins. Fancy daring to say openly that the allied intervention in Vietnam to combat forces who wanted to set up a cruel, corrupt, oppressive dictatorship in Vietnam was just! Fancy alluding to the treacherous role of the Western media in giving a free ride to those corrupt forces who did succeed in setting up a cruel communist dictatorship that continues to oppress the people of Vietnam to this day! Just ask the Vietnamese community in Australia.

On the other hand, apart from the last two bulleted points, the Conservative would heartily agree with the views the new Governor-General has aired. The latest polls on the voting intentions of Australians show that on a two-party preferred basis, the Coalition has 54% of the vote and the Labor Party 46%.

Leaving aside the number of traditional Labor voters who subscribe to the conservative views on the homosexualist campaign and the utter chaos of Aboriginal affairs, those figures mean that at least half of the Australian voting population would go with the Governor-General. Why then does the juvenile editor of the (un-)Australian get his servile reporters to run off these views as if everybody knows they are morally outrageous, and that the opposite is only what any decent person would accept? Why the absence of debate? The answer is simple.

Murdoch's (un-)Australian is one of the major anti-democratic forces propping up the Politically Correct class who dominate in education, government, the public service, and the media and who constitute the ruling elite. They will pull out all stops, if need be, to defend the established ruling class. That means blackening the character of anyone who dares to stand up in any way to the dogma of the politically correct.

One cannot excuse this blackguard political behaviour by attributing it to any sort of misguided idealistic motivation. No, they act because political correctness is conducive to their all-governing commercial interests. Politically correct doctrine enables Murdoch's vassals to go where they want - the only restriction being the mood of the people to be manipulated. The Conservative vision puts too many restrictions - moral, religious and political - on the operations of the media. There must constant vigilance to ensure that the population remains malleable and open to quick manipulation. We are in the age of the media demagogue.

The Governor-General, Australia's Constitution, Australia's stable mixed form of government, and traditional (objective) moral principles will always be obstacles to media manipulation. As the Politically Correct class are unanimous in the need to rid society of these obstacles, there is no lie, no distortion, no misrepresentation, no political campaign too great or too vicious for the Murdoch people to run with.

The new Governor-General and his wife (whose appearance and manner is likely to enrage many career feminists) should prepare themselves. Michael Stuchbury's gang will be on constant alert and in constant digging mode.
