For the last few years, I
did not interfere heavily in local politics. Instead, I focused on
the Syrian crisis and the resulting local impact of it in the form of
local extremism/terrorism. This was the real reason why both parties
undermined my strength and role to the point of waging attacks
(directly or indirectly) on me in a bid to put an end to my
influence.
Some people unaware of
this reality might suspect that I am delusional or paranoid. They may
even think that I am just a big mouth trying to give myself bigger
weight than my real one. I can deal with such opinions with
documentation. I will talk about my role in destroying Kevin Rudd's
government.
During the 2007 Federal
election I supported Labor. It was the first time after my arrival in
Australia to back Labor. I was never to this day a Labor member. I
was a Greens member until 2006, and not an ordinary member at that.
At different times I was spokesperson for immigration, delegate to
national and state delegate councils (party conferences to adopt or
amend policies), convener of policy committees and other vital roles.
Immediately after the
election of Rudd's government, I was shocked to come across the
amount of disunity inside the Labor party and government. Months
after its election, prominent members of Labor, including ministers,
started to destabilise the Rudd government.
Early in 2008, I was
contacted by Labor members working with former Labor prominent member
and minister, Daryl Melhem, who told me horrific things about Rudd. I
was told that Rudd is a dictator, he never listens, he treats the
cabinet members with disrespect and never accepted any criticism to
the point of being violent with anyone who opposes his views. I was
urged by Melhem's close associates to start campaigning to destroy
Rudd.
The biggest shock to me was when we campaigned to get
Aminovs' family permanent residence in October 2008. After we
embarrassed Rudd with our action inside the parliament during
question time (
https://www.smh.com.au/national/man-brings-house-to-a-standstill-20081023-gdszyj.html
) and, immediately after the media reported the embarrassment, I
received a phone call from an aide to former Labor heavy weight and
Minister for Multiculturalism, Laurie Ferguson, who was in fact a
Labor councillor on the Parramatta Council. The caller told me “good
on you Jamal. Please continue to embarrass Rudd on this issue. One or
two more direct actions and Aminovs' will get a visa”.
I was shocked to see that
a Labor faction leader, one of his office workers and a Labor
councillor want me to destroy the Labor government.
And this is what happened.
I continued to destabilise Rudd's government until he was ousted. My
anti-Labor activities were supported and encouraged by Labor
ministers and heavy-weight faction leaders, mainly from the left
faction. Again I want to reiterate that I was never
a Labor party member. Neither was I was Liberal member. I acted
against Kevin Rudd on principled reasons, and not for any personal
gains. I was successful, and together with support mainly from Labor
members of the Cabinet, we destroyed Rudd's career and ended his
prime ministership.
There is no doubt in any
analyst’s or politician’s mind that Kevin Rudd lost his job as PM
mainly because of a single issue: asylum seekers, refugees and
migration. And, I was the loudest and most prominent activist on this
issue to the point that the then Minister for Immigration Chris Bowen
sent his department spokesperson, Sandi Logan, to tell journalists
outside Villawood detention centre that I ordered the detainees to
destroy the detention centre in 2010. Of course I did not do this,
though I knew about the disturbances 5 minutes before they happened.
I continued my activism
after Rudd was ousted. I helped destroy Gillard's government too.
Gillard was acting as if she were a Liberal PM, which made our
efforts to destroy her government much easier. Labor voters still
want some humanity in political system. Julia did not show any
humanity when her government re-opened Nauru and introduced the
Malaysian-solution, cut funding for tertiary education, attacked the
rights of single mothers, and continued and expanded the Northern
Territory intervention program.
In my efforts to destroy
the Gillard government, I was encouraged by Labor members who had
been supporters of deposed PM Kevin Rudd. I met several times with
prominent Labor members, some of them were Labor candidates in 2007
and 2010 elections. These Rudd supporters even offered to help me to
get some public funding for our Social Justice Network organisation,
clearly as a reward for helping to undermine the Gillard government.
One of these Labor members is a solicitor who has dealt with very
public cases and who offered to represent refugees and asylum seekers
in suing Gillard's government.
I am writing this to
remind the coming Labor Shorten government that we are ready to
destabilise it. From the early indications, I am sure that Shorten
government's life will be shorter than Rudd's.
I declare here that we
will campaign very hard to get rid of the Morrison government. It is
very clear that Shorten will be our next PM. But I can tell you from
now that his government will not last beyond 12 months.
When Labor resorts to ally
with members of terrorist organisations, supporters of ISIS and
Al-Qaida and politicians who have no respect within their
communities, we can see how desperate they are to the point of taking
very wrong paths; a clear indication that its grip on power will be
short lived.
Media discusses the
increasing influence of politicians like Shaoquett Moselmane and
Jihad Dib. The former recently invited a member of a terrorist
organisation Ananda Marga, failed academic, Tim Anderson, to attack
several respected academics, writers, community leaders and
activists. Mr Moslemane enjoys near zero respect among members of his
South Lebanese community. When I ran as a candidate in the seat of
Rockdale 2015, I was told by many members of that community that if I
will direct preference votes to Labor I will not get their votes. In
a separate article, I will discuss Mr Moselmane’s bad reputation he
has in the area.
The other “rising star”
of Labor is the notorious Jihad Dib; the politician that was
parachuted to the Lakemba seat in 2015 against the will of local
members, thanks to the Saudi embassy's donations to the Labor party
through its proxies in the area. The son of a well-known extremist
and close ally to every Saudi ambassador in Australia, Jihad Dib’s
sole public achievement was to turn Punchbowl Boys from a
drug-dealer’s hub into terrorist-supporter’s hub. I will also
dedicate many articles in the immediate future and in the lead up to
NSW State election to shedding light on this notorious politician and
his shameful family’s connections and “values”.
With these Labor new,
emerging heavy-weights, I can with ease assure you that any future
Shorten or Foley governments will be very short lived.
I can assure you even
right now, knives are already sharpened to politically “assassinate”
Shorten. With all these indications, Shorten will be lucky to survive
12 months. He has no charisma, no bright ideas and no good track
record of any achievements.
As I declared earlier that
I will actively campaign to end the Morrison Liberal government,
simultaneously, I declare here, that I will help undermine Shorten's
government immediately following its election. And I am sure that
Labor knows very well how efficient I am in doing so. Of course the
expected bad performance of this coming government will help me and
many other social justice supporters achieve our goal.
People have been asking me
for the last few years: “we do not know who you support in
Parliament; sometimes you support Labor, sometimes you support
Liberals.”
Well, I was frank from the
beginning: Labor, Liberals and Greens are different faces of the same
coin. Our mission here is to minimise their destructive impact. We
also have a mission to create a viable and just alternative. I will
talk about this in detail in another article.
But for now, my message to
Labor is clear: shape up or expect Rudd's fate.
