Where is Hetty Johnston now? Or is the Politically Correct class permitted to abuse children?

Around a year ago, the Governor-General, Dr Peter Hollingworth, was the victim of the most decisive media assassination. At the head of the lynch mob, and given every opportunity by the bloodlusting media, was that unrelenting, unforgiving, uncompromising fanatic Hetty Johnston, generalissimo of an organisation called Bravehearts (http://www.paacsa.org.au/). If you connect to their website you will find this staring at you.

'For all those who believe child sexual abuse must stop'

It may not occur to the casual reader, but the implication in this banner is that if you are not a member of Bravehearts and do not support Hetty Johnston's activities then you condone child sexual abuse. Indeed, her actions show clearly that she believes this. She does not shrink from doubling the injustice to others in order to achieve her portion of justice.

At the centre of the controversy raging around Dr Peter Hollingworth was the illegal two year sexual relationship between a fourteen-year-old girl (note the age carefully) and a twenty-seven-year-old Anglican priest. Dr Peter Hollingworth, as the former Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, had to deal with the affair when the woman years later confronted the church authorities with her experience. (Note also that the woman resumed the sexual relationship twenty years later with the same Anglican priest.) The Governor-General, no longer the Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, was forced into a public discussion of the woman's complaints during which he made a couple of extremely media-clumsy statements about the affair. The most damaging of these was the claim that the fourteen-year-old girl had initiated the relationship. That was the noose he handed to his persecutors.

The suggestion that a fourteen-year-old girl could initiate a sexual relationship and willingly remain in that relationship for two years (until she was past sixteen) caused a media hysteria that was scarcely containable. Hetty Johnston could not be prised off the television screens. A high point (or a low point depending on your view) was the rising in Parliament of the ever so morally sensitive Premier of Queensland, Peter Beattie. With hand over his heart and tear in his eye, he said he would be broken-hearted if he thought his fifteen-year-old daughter was caught up in such circumstances. He said it was outrageous and deplorable that the Governor-General depicted the fourteen-year-old girl as a 'sexual predator'.

The Governor-General did no such thing and to show that Beattie was aware of the outrageous malicious lie he was serving to incite hatred and bigotry in the community, he said immediately, 'my words, not his'.

Can it be true that Peter Beattie is unaware of the constant TV reports about the sexual activity of girls from the age of thirteen onwards, of the organisations that are caring for pregnant girls and mothers of the same age? Hasn't he noticed the fashions worn by girls as young as eight that emphasise female sexuality. Is he blind to the marketeering organisations that exploit the sexuality of pubescent girls? I thought at the time he should have gone and had a close talk with his daughter.

But, really, was he serious? It was not possible, surely, that he could be so blind to social attitudes and social circumstances which he as a leading politician, on Hetty Johnston's argument, must at least be partly responsible for? Wasn't this just a disgraceful cynical exploitation of a political opportunity during which he had the luxury to put the slow boot into an ideological opponent – with the help of that drooling fanatic from Bravehearts.

Four months after the furore, when Hetty Johnston and her fellow travellers were busy with their campaign of stalking the Governor-General around Australia, she told the ever-attentive media: 'This is about children and their right to be protected against child sexual abuse.' It's all so clear cut for Ms Johnston. There are no particular circumstances to be considered and weighed up. There is no discretion to be applied, which is the normal process of applying justice. If you don't agree with Hetty Johnston, you are just as guilty as the perpetrator of child abuse. But if it is all so clear cut...

On Thursday, 6 March 2003, Murdoch's Australian plastered the photo below across their front page. These are fourteen-year-old girls with 'make love not war' scrawled over their naked midriffs. Under the photo was a gushing uncritical report by cub reporters praising the revolutionary fervour of these girls and their like-minded companions around Australia.

Let's not be coy about this. Photos like this appear in magazines for the entertainment of men with certain tastes. Girls a little older but dressed in the same way are seen draped over the red bonnets of Ferraris and Maseratis in order to raise the sex appeal of the product. The invitation to make love is just that: an invitation to these fourteen-year-old girls to have sex and for others to have sex with them. The PC mind can strain to make it seem otherwise, but it will fail. That is the clear message written on a part of the female anatomy that projects female sexuality.

The mentality, thoughts and actions of these girls are the result of irresponsible parents, irresponsible teachers, irresponsible schools, and an irresponsible hypocritical media ever ready to exploit such occasions for commercial purposes.

It should be no surprise that three weeks later the above photo glorifying the actions of these fourteen-year-olds was incitement for children of the same age and younger to riot all around Australia. The Australian self-consciously tried to evade any responsibility for the incitement by claiming 'most of the troublemakers at the rally were Middle-Eastern males...[chanting] Allah is great'. When Murdoch's people have to play the race card, they don't hesitate – that despite their interminable preaching about racial discrimination. But the television images and the photos that appear in their own newspaper (below) contradict them.

This fourteen-year-old girl (above) shows she has been an attentive pupil at the indoctrination sessions run by the adults under whose care she is. We see her struggling with and abusing the officers who are appointed to maintain public order. Among her lessons has been the instruction that if she does not agree with authority, the way to deal with that is shout abuse and commit violent acts.

The contorted hate-filled faces of these ten to twelve-year-old boys will ensure that the population of feral males who think nothing of bashing and abusing people will be further swollen. The adults under whose care they are, should be pleased and impressed with their efforts. Notice the black Socialist Alliance banner behind them.

The photo directly above is a of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old's behind. This and the other three photos appeared prominently in Rupert Murdoch's Australian (6 & 27 March 2003) – and probably in other Murdoch instruments around the world.

Where are all those loud finger-pointing Politically Correct crusaders against child abuse? Where is Hetty Johnston now?
