I am not surprised that Mr Stevenson congratulates this editor and supports this magazine and its attitudes. What I do find extremely horrific is that this man, who shares the same views as the Ku Klux Klan and espouses the paranoiac "one world order" philosophies, is the same man who argues that he represents the people. Which people - the ones with the guns or the ones without, Mr Stevenson? He has stated time and again that porn magazines incite assault against women. If that is true, Mr Stevenson - through you, Madam Speaker - what does this magazine incite people to do - to take out machine-guns and kill those who "appear to be tyrants", to booby trap and kill any customs officer or a policeman who enforces the gun laws, not by innuendo, not by a quantum causal leap in logic but by direct advice? X- and R-rated magazines are not permitted to give instructions on how to assault or rape a woman. Indeed, they are controlled, rather than banned, to ensure that any message of coercion does not come through. But this magazine gives advice and blatant encouragement. It is a how-to manual for violence and racial hatred.
How does Mr Stevenson justify his warm support of this vile and illegal magazine? It is blatant support for the fundamental civil right to take guns out onto the streets. Mr Stevenson says:
WELL DONE.
He says:
I loved your magazine.
I'm sure people found it most helpful to know how to correct that auto-fire problem.
Let me know if I can help.
Mr Stevenson stated on radio last week that he could not serve on a committee as he was needed to show up all the corruption and duplicity rife in our corridors. I trust that Mr Stevenson will be pleased, then, that I have brought this matter to the attention of the people of Canberra so that they can make their own judgment.
Motion (by Mr Berry) agreed to:
That the publication to which Mr Moore referred be tabled.
Original question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 10.08 pm
