“Howard's land policies like Hitler's”, says Aboriginal leader : Melbourne Indymedia

Anderson likens the land policies of the Howard government to Hitler's Mein Kampf, articles 15 and 17, which dictated that no-one other than the Aryan race should have title to land and that land for future purposes was to be held for the Aryan race to grow.

"The Howard government reeks of hypocrisy, racism and the former South African apartheid mentality. What is even more frightening is the fact that expatriate white South Africans now reside in large numbers in Perth.

"John Howard and his government are consistently calling for immigrants in this country to assimilate and adopt Australian values. What values?" Anderson asks.

"Are they the values of the continuing colonial invaders, who have political orgasms at the thought of wiping out Aboriginal People through poisoning, shooting and continuing incarceration? Are these the values they want these people to adopt? If so, then I understand why immigrants, like Aboriginal people, refuse to assimilate," Anderson said.

"At the end of the second world war people of the Jewish community constantly campaigned throughout the world for people to be on guard against genocidal traits encroaching into government administration. Here in Australia," Anderson argues, "the land policies of the Howard government against Aboriginal peoples reek of Hitler's Mein Kampf articles 15 and 17, which dictated that no-one other than the Aryan race shall have title to land and that land for future purposes was to be held for the Aryan race to expand their population.

"We must be careful," Anderson warns, "that we protect ourselves against extreme racism and apartheid rules being entrenched in the Australian psyche. In Saturday's Telegraph (30 September 2006) Phillip Ruddock's statement is gross and unforgivable, when he stated that 'The Native Tile decision over Western Australia could block non-Aboriginal from beaches and parks.' What a lot of rot!

"The Australian government's absolute and extreme hypocrisy is further demonstrated in a separate statement by John Howard when he said he had sent a high power delegation to Papua Niu Guinea to protect the Kokoda Trail from being mined for gold. What about the absolute and total desecration of our sacred and religious grounds throughout Australia for uranium mining and gold mining? A typical example is the Lake Cowal goldmine in central NSW.

"How do we, as an absolute minority, fight against this extreme racism of the lawmakers in this country?" Anderson questions. "This cannot be accepted nor tolerated."

Anderson is now committed to locating solutions as we need to protect ourselves against a dictatorship, which calls itself a democratic state.

Anderson calls on the public to review and consider what this government is doing and make sure that we are on our guard at the next federal election and don't make the same mistake of giving power to the extremists against human rights.
