What the PC Class conspired to do to Renee Geyer, they did on a massive
scale to Pauline Hanson
All manner of PC figures and their mindless supporters continue to
ridicule the claim that Pauline Hanson has been Australia's first political
prisoner. It was an odd coincidence that during a story on the Nine
Network's 'Sunday' program the viewer was suddenly confronted with the
vindictive bigoted manner in which the PC class gets together to punish or
eliminate someone who has denied or worked against the prescriptions of
their body of dogma.
The 'Sunday' program ran a laudatory story on the Australian
singer Renee Geyer under the title, Renee Geyer: 'a difficult woman'
(9 August 2003). The program charted Geyer's highs and lows. One of the
lowest of the lows (in more sense than one) was her decision to sing the
Liberal Party's campaign song during a federal election of the Fraser era.
Up until that point Renee sang to packed audiences; after that her venues
were empty. The narrator without further comment noted that Geyer's
main audience for her edgy style of blues singing was Labor Party people. We know what the cause was of those empty venues. We have witnessed it so many
times before.
The members of the PC class in the media –
particularly at the ABC where Geyer's type of action is utterly unforgivable
– in academia, in the civil service, and education
spoke feverishly among themselves about Geyer's betrayal. Without the need
for any particular declaration, Geyer was cut. The empty venues were silent
testimony.
Who could kid themselves about this? It is the prescription of all
left-wing thinking that adherents organise to achieve their political aims.
Nothing is possible without organisation to manipulate the body politic.
However much they like to delude themselves about this, the Left naturally
forms itself into conspiratorial bodies. Renee Geyer was simply one person
among thousands who have been submitted to the Left's censure and
banishment. Only those hopelessly lost in their political delusion could
possibly deny it.
Pauline Hanson was the PC class's worst nightmare. Here we had an
ordinary country hick, ignorant of all the categories of political and
philosophical disputation, who stood up to challenge them. Without knowing
how to explain herself, she had the nerve and gall to challenge them all the way down the line. They were beside themselves.
I have collected an enormous amount of media reaction to Pauline
Hanson. Such wild political bigotry and hysteria have never before appeared
in Australia. All over an ordinary uneducated Australian woman. The
names, the organisations, the political groupings –
they're all there for the future historian to marvel wide-eyed over.
Pauline Hanson has typically come to the wrong conclusion about the
detail of what is happening around her. Tone Abbott is guilty of pathetic
imprudence in launching civil action against One Nation. It was his usual way of playing political hardball. It backfired on him. But in reality he
had no part in the criminal action against Pauline Hanson. No, the people
who aimed to get Pauline Hanson, got her in the long run.
It was the Queensland DDP and the Queensland judiciary behind which stood
the phalanxes of their encouraging like-minded brothers and sisters who
acted in concert to eliminate Pauline Hanson on the basis of a bad law and
improper legal administration. See my previous comment about the background
to this.
