RETIRED BRIGADIER FRANCIS PHILLIP ("TED") SERONG, DSO, OBE, is a revered figure
among Freedom Scouts and other militia groups. Ian Murphy refers to Serong s
recent book. Defence of Australia Analysis, as "our Bible". (It describes
Australia's defence forces as broke and hopelessly ill-equipped to deal with an
invasion from the likes of Indonesia, an assessment well supported in the
broader community.) In Vietnam, where he
was commander of Australian forces from 1962 to 1965, Serong was reportedly
a brilliant hut "enigmatic" jungle
warfare tactician whose private audiences with then US President Richard
Nixon were much resented by American generals in the field.
Often depicted
as a caricature of the hawkish Right, the staunch anti-communist retired from
the army in 1968, staying in Vietnam as an adviser to the South Vietnamese and US
governments until war's end in 1975. Something of a mystery figure, he lives
in Melbourne and rarely gives interviews. Contacted by GOOD WEEKEND on what must
have been a good day, the old warhorse agrees to discuss his ties with the
Freedom Scouts.
"As patron, I
have no executive role," he explains. "1 visit their branches and make little
speeches telling them they're on the right track or guiding them back to the
right track if they've gone off it." He is sure Australia's defence forces will
call on the civilian militia if the need arises, yet says he has no idea how the
Government views the organisation. "The fact that ASIO is sniffing around (the
Scouts) is as it should be. They have to know what any formed organisation is
doing because, although that organisation is pointing in a certain direction at
this moment, they've got to be ready to handle it if, for whatever reason, it
turns itself in another direction."
Is he suggesting
that under some sort of charismatic leader such a movement could be dangerous?
"They're all right as long as I'm here," says Serong, "I'm charismatic enough to
handle that aspect. That's the main reason I became the patron; if I'm patron,
then nobody else can be." What happens when he's no longer around? "I can't
answer for that ... but you could apply char (dangerous leader) concern to any
organisation. Even a major commercial corporation could turn against the
national interest ... all it really takes is the availability of money." Yet he
is troubled by the unauthorised use of his name by other militia groups in
Australia. "There are a number of small groups [that claim]: 'We're doing this
for Ted Serong.' And they're not; I've had no contact with them."
Finally, because
he is such an admired "figurehead" (his word) among the weekend warriors, where does Serong stand on the
Martin-Bryant-didn't-do-it theories? He believes them. What's more, he's
prepared to say so publicly. "There was
an almost satanic accuracy to that shooting performance," he suggests. "Whoever did it is better than I am, and
there are not too many people around better than I am." (At 83, he probably
means in his heyday). "Whoever did it," he says again, "has skills way beyond anything that could
reasonably have been expected from this chap Bryant ... If it was someone of only
average skills, there would have been many less killed and many more wounded.
It was the astonishing proportion of
killed to wounded that made me open my eyes first off."
He thinks more than one killer was involved. "It
was part of a deliberate attempt to disarm the population, but I don't believe
John, Howard or his Government were involved. Howard is being led down a track.
He doesn't know where it's leading, and he doesn't much care ..."
Can he suggest
who was behind the alleged conspiracy? "I could, hut I won't."
A few days
later, a Freedom Scouts member in Mount Isa assures me that "extremists" who try
to join the movement are still being turned away. "There are other groups that
cater for the more radical crowd," she points out. "That's just not what we're
about."
And yes, she also believes Martin Bryant didn't
do it.

Senator Fraser Anning's Letter on Christchurch Massacre
Fraser Anning’s Open Letter on the New
Zealand Murders
April 3, 2019
Fraser Anning is a Senator from Queensland
in the Australian Parliament. His letter appeared in Pickering Post, March 27,
2019.
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER SCOTT
MORRISON
from Senator Fraser Anning
Prime Minister Morrison,
You are threatening to censure me in the
Australian Parliament for statements I made following the mass murder of New
Zealand Muslims on Friday the 15th of March. Labor leader Bill Shorten agrees
with your intentions.
You accuse me of blaming the victims in my
initial response to the atrocity. This, despite the fact that my statement
unequivocally condemned this heinous act of murderous violence.
One of the victims of this rampage was a
toddler. All were innocent. The perpetrator is a monster and no sane person
would think otherwise.
There are no mitigating factors which could
in any way excuse this evil act. The person responsible needs to feel the full
force of the law.
After putting the immediate blame where it
belongs, I looked for contributing causes. I said: “The real cause of bloodshed
on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program that allowed Muslim
fanatics to migrate to New Zealand”.
I was referring, obviously, to terrorists
and the backlash they potentially incite. Nowhere in that statement did I imply
that any of the victims were fanatics. They were hapless victims.
My brief comment was not an academic
treatise seeking to identify all the causes. Instead I zeroed in on the New
Zealand government’s indiscriminate immigration policies, which are very much in
line with your own.
The censure motion is an attempt to deflect
attention from your reckless policies, which are causing run-away diversity – a
well-documented risk factor for communal conflict. Shame on you.
Your exploitation of the killing has helped
open the door to the far left. Now, innocent conservatives and even the Ramsay
Centre for Western Civilisation are being accused of guilt for mass murder on
the flimsy basis that the killer’s manifesto opposed Islamic immigration to
Europe.
This guilt by association has the same level
of honesty as your own accusation against me. As Douglas Murray states, “Beliefs
held by millions [are] not rendered invalid by [the] actions of a
maniac.”
What distinguished the killer from others
concerned about Islamic immigration is that he abandoned politics and took up
terrorism. To blame conservatives for Christchurch, as is now happening, is as
irrational as blaming democratic socialists for Communist mass
murder.
It is completely appropriate to consider
contributing causes. This mass murder is clearly a form of inter-ethnic,
inter-religious and inter-cultural violence.
It is a matter of fact that in recent times,
these kinds of deadly attacks have proliferated in Western countries. Initially, these attacks were mostly
committed by Muslims but more recently, have been committed against
them.
It is a matter of causation, not moral
blame, that until recently we were largely immune to this problem because until
the 1970s Western populations were, for the most part, ethnically, culturally
and religiously homogenous.
I believe that these changes were initiated
by governments, not requested by the people, who generally wished to retain
their way of life, as did others around the world.
The Japanese people have no wish to bring in
millions of Vietnamese and grant them citizenship. The Chinese don’t want to be
swamped with Indians.
No people wish for this. We didn’t vote for
it and we weren’t asked. Yet every Prime Minister since Whitlam has embraced the
policy of indiscriminate immigration. The only choice has been in how quickly we
would become a minority.
“We the people,” were given no democratic
option to oppose this madness. Every major party supported it.
For example, you recently critisised Bill
Shorten’s refugee policy. You said it was reckless as it would double the number
of refugees at a cost of six billion dollars every year.
You implied that your own policy was somehow
responsible because you would import only half that number at a cost of three
billion dollars per year.
Are Australians supposed to thank you for
driving us over the fiscal cliff at half the speed?
As Prime Minister, you must accept the
greatest share of the blame. Sadly, you are not alone. Every other mainstream
political party subscribes to the ridiculous trope that diversity is a strength.
It is not, and the people know it.
You have pursued these policies against the
will of the people. Along with the deep state, you have viciously attacked
anyone who opposed this madness.
People have been destroyed by accusations of
racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, white supremacy and an ever-growing number of
slurs.
In order to lock-in permanent mass
immigration, you multicultural elitists have annihilated the bedrock principle
of Free Speech from our society.
This is the foundational principle on which
our system of democracy is built.
This deliberate subversion of democratic
rights has been ruthlessly efficient in silencing legitimate
criticism.
The dogma of multiculturalism has been
imposed under cover of threats and intimidation. Had people not been bullied into silence by political
correctness and the threat of Government sanction, they would have figured
out the truth much earlier.
The fact is, that multiculturalism is simply
minority tribalism turbocharged by the Left.
This is part of a wider trend for Western
governments to import the “Clash of
Civilisations” into once peaceful societies. If this continues the result
will be the dissolution of the nation state.
Your policy of multiculturalism encourages
all minorities to remain culturally separate. It encourages them to remain loyal
to their tribal, religious, ethnic or cultural identities instead of to the
Australian nation.
Unless of course it is white Australians who
express loyalty to their group, in which case it is referred to the so-called
Human Rights Commission under the hated Section 18c of the Racial Discrimination
Act.
Thus, you espouse tribalism from one side of
your mouth while decrying it from the other.
The problem is, that minority groups vote
for their own interests.
Politicians know this from experience. You
are constantly pandering to them. The level of largesse which you offer, is in
direct proportion to the numbers of each group in marginal electorates or
donations to party coffers.
The key demand of these minority groups is
always the same. More migrants from their own “tribe” to bolster the power of
their own voting bloc.
Mr. Morrison, you enable this minority
supremacism, as did your predecessors. You promote it. And you profit from it.
This tribalism is not shared by the majority, who do not yet understand the need
to vote for their own ethnic interests.
They are told to think of themselves as
individuals, not as parts of a cohesive nation. Unless the majority realise the
benefits of voting for their ethnic group interests – democracy will be
finished. In its place we will have intractable sectarianism and Australia will
be just another failed state.
The horror in New Zealand is so newsworthy
because it is not yet a failed state. In the three weeks before the shooting in
Christchurch, 120 Christians in Nigeria were shot or hacked to death by
Muslims.
This tragedy was not reported in a single
Australian news outlet that I am aware of. In January, much closer to home in
the Philippines, a cathedral was bombed by Muslims and twenty innocents were
killed.
Why did you and your Government not issue
statements denouncing the killers? Perhaps because murderous attacks are so
common in these countries.
Since September 2001, there have been more
than 34,000 terrorist attacks conducted in the name of Islam. This is a
staggering number. Most have been committed in countries with large Islamic
populations.
As you and your predecessors have increased
the Muslim population in our country, we have suffered a growing series of
attacks on our soil.
Fortunately, our security forces have
thwarted most of them. The Islamic community is expanding rapidly, however. Soon
we will not have the resources to control the situation.
The likelihood of a backlash from other
groups increases with every attack. As our society splits along racial,
religious and ethnic lines, the possibility of escalating conflict
increases.
Australia is not the world’s most successful
multicultural society. We were once united and peaceful with a secure national
identity.
Our children had bright futures. Now
cohesion and trust are falling. The data shows it. There is no net benefit to
traditional Australians from your multicultural dogma.
Your policies will lead to white Australians
– the heart of our nation – becoming a minority within a few decades. Your own
figures confirm this.
You, Mr. Morrison, are part of the problem.
How dare you judge me. How dare you hold your head up in the light.
You and your cabinet have no real analysis
of the national question. Instead you offer vacuous slogans fed to you by
equally vacuous senior public servants – “diversity”, “vibrancy”, “inclusion”,
“religion of peace”.
You have no vision for Australia situated in
our region. No analysis of how to manage diversity and identity in a
sustainable, peaceful way. All we get is politics; saying anything to stay in
power.
This lack of principle and positive
direction indicates that you and your Labor clones are puppets of powerful
vested interests. These interests give a damn only for profits, not diversity,
identity or belonging.
The present election campaign in New South
Wales offers a horrible example of multicultural politics at work. In September
of last year, the Labor leader, Michael Daley, gave a speech to a predominantly
Anglo audience in the Blue Mountains.
[snip]
This is the tragedy of your beloved
diversity, that it weaponises positive human bonds. It turns good people against
one another.
Your immigration policies have turned
Australia into a squabbling Tower of Babel. Those policies really should be
criminalised. They should be made unconstitutional.
The Australian nation is dying in the big
cities. Congested, progressively foreign, replaced, colonised, self-segregated,
hurt by falling trust and loss of belonging. Why are you doing this to us? Where
is your soul? Where is your decency?
Stop thinking about your parliamentary
pension and media reputation and start thinking about your people, our people.
Isn’t it obvious that the nation is in crisis? Why can you not stand tall and
actually lead our people?
Our children and grandchildren will curse
you if you are remembered at all. You have no right to transform their society
without the people’s permission. You have no right to inflict this legacy on
them, to become a minority in their own country.
Let me be doubly clear that I condemn you
and Mr. Shorten in the strongest terms imaginable – as traitors to truth and
traitors to social cohesion.
You have even turned your back on your
Christian faith and values. Multiculturalism means “fewer Christians.” Is that
really your intention?
Without mass immigration and
multiculturalism, neither the Islamic attacks in Australia or this appalling
reaction to them would have occurred.
Without your reckless policies, the
Australian people would still be living in a peaceful, stable and secure nation
state as the Japanese do today.
The New Zealand government is using this
hideous attack to further its cynical agenda. Instead of offering their people a
vote on ruinous immigration policies, they are further strangling free speech
and suppressing opposition.
Censorship of the media was hardly mentioned
after terror attacks on Australian soil. Now however, after an attack by an
opponent of multiculturalism, The State is demanding censorship of the
internet.
Any website which does not embrace your
extreme multicultural agenda is coming under scrutiny.
This foreshadows darkness and tyranny which
were once unimaginable to Australians. You and your cohorts are driving us there
at full speed.
Australia is on the path to a police state,
fomented and legitimised by multiculturalist ideology.
Again, Mr Morrison, your government leads
the charge, by allowing people to be persecuted under ill-defined accusations of
hate speech, when most just hate oppression.
I implore all politicians to step back and
think again about what you are doing to this nation.
Do not oppress us in a knee-jerk reaction to
this tragedy born of fanaticism.
Any response must be measured and sane. It
must not be at the price of this nation’s cohesion and unity.
Free Speech is always the first target of
ham-fisted tyranny. The Christchurch killer’s intent was to topple our
traditions by his evil scheme. Do not become pawns in his game.
Australia once trusted its citizens to
discuss the most extreme ideas peacefully. We have a long history of rejecting
radical ideas.
It is clear that our elites cannot be
trusted with controlling our borders. I don’t just mean the few thousand
illegals coming in boats but the millions coming legally by jet.
We as a nation need to take a breather. We
need time to assimilate those already here. We need a plebiscite on
immigration!
We the people, not you the elites, have a
right to decide who comes here.
Fraser Anning
