EMAIL SENT TO PRIME MINISTER GILLARD 16 March 2011
David Harrison
Address taken out.
Dear Prime Minister Gillard,
I would like to express my concerns about the current situation with muslim Asylum Seekers/ Refugees/ illegal immigrants.
I am a Vietnam veteran and fought for Australia . I went to war when my country asked me without question and I am proud to say I am Australian who loves my country. I am a member of the Frankston RSL club with the largest membership in Victoria and visit on a regular occasion to talk to my friends. All the people I talk to have the same view as I do on the muslim people coming into our country.
This email will be put on the notice board and everyone’s attention will be brought to it as they enter the RSL. Your response will also be put on the notice board. The RSL has over 3,000 members.
I will also sent this to everyone that I have their email address and ask them to pass it on to all the other people they know. I guess this will get to approx 7 to 8,000 people. Maybe more.
Therefore I ask for real answers to my questions.
I have lived in the Philippines and Thailand and understand what the muslims are trying to do in the southern parts of those countries.
They are trying to get their own Islamic states and want to live under their own laws and rules. They are killing everyone that stands in their way. Men, women and children and even babies.
In Thailand they are killing all the teachers and burning down the schools to force the kids to attend Islamic schools so they can covert them to Islamic/muslim.
This is already happening in Australia where the Government and other authorities are changing the rules to suit the muslims.
Take Dandenong area for example, the kindergartens and pre schools now do not celebrate Christmas, Easter and other world Christian events because all muslims there would be offended. Therefore the Australian kids are being discriminated against in their own country. THIS IS AUSTRALIA not some other muslim country.
Another example is a school in Coburg were having a school BBQ and the few muslim women on the committee ordered only halal meat. Therefore the Australian kid had to miss out on the BBQ or eat muslim meat. Your Centre Link and other government departments are banning Christmas decorations and the worst disgrace is that these Government Departments are stoping their staff observing the minute silence on the 11 of November. How dare your department’s heads instruct their staff in this way. These are all to suit the muslims that hate our country and our way of life here.
This is discrimination against Australians and kids, which is a real disgrace.
Another stupid thing your Government has done is bringing the Sudanese to Australia . This is a Christian country however your Government has accepted the refugees from the northern Sudan , which are muslim, and not from the south which are Christian. How stupid. Now every Sudanese woman I see is pregnant to get the baby bonus. Again our taxes at work !!!!!!.
You and Kevin Rudd allow and welcome the Muslim boat people and allow them privileges the Australian people don’t get. Boats are coming every day and there are another 10 to 15,000 muslim people waiting in Indonesiaand 10,000 in Malaysia that will be coming here. The Sri Lanken muslims are on boats now as we speak coming direct here.
How many do we have to take before they start bombing my children and friends. You know and I know it won’t be long before we get the same problems and bombings as other countries.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE THEN !!!!!!!!!!
People smuggling around the world is a very serious offence, however your Government welcomes it.
My suggestion,
When the boats come here, have the captain and crew charged and jailed for people smuggling. A long jail sentence of 7 to 10 years as this will be a deterrent to other people smugglers.
Then fly the boat people back to their own country. We spend over $400 million to build the detention centre on Christmas Island and many millions in keeping them and giving them things that many Australian can only dream about. The muslims destroy the centre on a regular basis, which costs us taxpayers many millions of dollars to repair it. Then we repair it again and again.
Now your government is going to build another near Darwin at cost of over 90 million and 70 million to run it per year. Is this a joke on us taxpayers?
Or is this your Government just saying welcome to all muslims.
What added value are muslims to Australia .
They don’t work just take our taxpayer dollars.
Don’t want to call Australia home.
Don’t accept our Christian culture.
Don’t want to speak English.
Don’t want to abide by our laws.
Don’t want to integrate.
Don’t want to go to our schools.
Don’t want to play sport.
And many other don’ts.
I recently went on the Clean up Australia campaign in 2 locations with hundreds of other people attending. Guess what!!!! NOT ONE MUSLIM OR SUDANESE THERE TO HELP. All were in their public houses relaxing and watching TV at what they think are stupid Australians working.
All the TV footage on the shocking Queensland floods with all the people helping to trying to clean up. I did not see one muslim or Sudanese helping. NO
WHY, they only care about how much money and benefits they can get out of Australia .
Do you ever see muslims or Sudanese living in cardboard boxes or cars with their children? NO, they are all living in our public housing FREE but Australians if they can get one have to pay.
MY QUESTIONS TO YOU AND YOUR GOVERNMENT.
* How many muslims and Sudanese refugees live in Australia now?
* What percentage of the Australian population are each group now?
* How much of total taxpayers money spent on them for the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 years? The total amounts.
* How much to you believe will be spent this year 2011 on refugees?
* How much tax payers money is in the current budget to support these people?
* If you need extra money for all the muslims boats coming, can you tell me which budgeted area the money will come from? Is it Hospitals, Education or reduction of Australians old age pension?
* What percentage of Australian welfare payment do these refugees represent of the welfare budget?
* Are you going to deport the muslim trouble makers and leaders at Christmas Island currently destroying public property?
* Why don’t you allow all the Queensland and Victorian flood victims living in tents and other shared accommodation to live in motels like the muslims at the taxpayer’s expense?
* Why didn’t you pay for the families to attend the funeral of Sapper Jamie Larcombe who was killed recently like you did for the muslim boat people and pay for the funeral as well?
* Is it true that these refugees get the following payments?
* Why do these muslim get a hardship allowance?
| BENEFIT | AUSTRALIAN AGED PENSIONER | ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN AUSTRALIA |
| Weekly allowance | $253.00 | $472.50 |
| Weekly Spouse allowance | $56.00 | $472.50 |
| Additional weekly hardship allowance | $0.00 | $145.00 |
| TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT | $16,068.00 | $56,680.00 |
|
Some interesting Facts….
|
By the way the boat people are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS not asylum seekers or refugees.
Myself and most people at the RSL (WHO ALL VOTE) would like your response to the questions and what action you are taking to stop the muslim boat people coming here.
Regards,
David Harrison. (Butch Harrison)
Did Julia Gillard reply to this e-mail?
I am French and I want to tell you the next stage you will experience.
In France,we have public swimming pools to be used only by muslim women.
In France,tax money will be used to build mosques,which is not allowed for Christians,because on Fridays muslims pray in the streets,no Christian allowed to pass by.
In France,a well known fast food chain serves only hallal meat (a consumer died recently
,poisoned by lack of hygiene).
In France,the army recruits imams but no longer priests.
Etc…Etc…
What complete uneducated rubbish. A letter driven by fear and sweeping statements that sound like they belong on a Nazi Propaganda poster.
I doubt this senior citizen even knows a Muslim or Sudanese person… hence statements like ” they don’t work, they don’t speak English, they don’t play sport” . If it wasn’t so sad it would be laughable.
I pity this writer and anyone else who is so close minded, bigoted and uncaring about fellow human beings.

this is the best response to this nonsense you have just posted
I agree. If anyone is interested & is willing to take the time to read it, every one of this idiot’s ‘facts’ are proven false. All the questions are answered & sources are quoted, which I note, Harrison failed to do.
D.Harrison is an absolute moron & I doubt that his letter will be permitted to stay on the noticeboard at his beloved Frankston RSL as they will recognise it for what it is ….a racist, ignorant & shallow minded rant coming from a goose. As for it reaching the PM, I believe it won’t get past the (incoming) mailroom.
MY heritage is Aboriginal Afghan. If it was not for the Afghan Muslim Cameleers the Ghan would not exist. The Christian faith are not beyond repproach. See Papal Bulls 1455. This land is Aboriginal Land and we were invaded by the Christians, raped and massacred and dispossessed of our homelands in the name of God and the Papal Bulls 1455. War is created by few men for the profiteering of those few men and their interests. My Aboriginal grandfathers who were soldiers one in Korea never get a mention. Our memorial in Canberra is a little rock on the hill that is left to vandals and grafitti. Australia is not a Christian country it is a racist intolerant society thanks to the British Empire, the Vatican and the Anglican Church perpetuated by racist police forces and the Australian government.
To the author of this letter David Harrison
First of all I would like to apologize to my friends and of Anglosaxon and Scotish decent whom this may offend The rest can go fuck themselves
David,
this is averry offencive email and verry prejudice towards muslims. Not all muslims are dole bludgers, inbred, cheats and terrorists the same way not all european people are dole bludgers, theives and taking the jobs of anglo saxon born australians. In this letter you are insinuating that all imigrants are welfare cheats, bludgers, terrorists, dont want to integrate, dont want to abide by our laws, etc as stated in this letter. I can name at leaste 3 welfare cheats and theives who are Australian born, anglo saxon and scotish background but I dont hear you bitching about them. Donot under-estimate the value, culture and contribution that migrants make to a country and donot forget the humanitarian factors which are at stake here when dealing with refugees. Illegal imigrants do pose a threat to any country they enter and I agree that there needs to be restrictions on who is allowed and what volume but having read this letter I feel personally victimized being of non english speaking background (Greek Australian). Imigrants are easy targets for racists that like to spread hate.
This is not the only time racists in Australia have shown their ugly faces. Take the Cronula Riots for example. A simple protest against violence towards lifegauards escalated into a racist riot towards anyone of non anglo saxon background on the 4th of December 2005. SMS and emails were circulated stating “its a Leb and Wog bashing day” by groups of Anglo saxon and scotish decent. Instead of finding the persons responsible anyone of non anglo appearance were targeted. Persons were injured and property damaged and it even was stated that cronula was off limits for persons of non anglo appearance. They can stick that up their arse, its every australians beach no matter what your background. It was never actualy clear as to what was said between both parties of this national disgrace.
There is nothing wrong with a child learning another language other than english, it is healthy to know what their background is and their ancestry. What you fail to realise is that anglo saxons spoke english before they came here but no-one of non english background bitches about how Australians of anglo saxon or scotish decent dont learn languages other than english. The hypocrysi of this is that the english language is made up of many different languages including greek In a typical English dictionary of 80,000 words, which corresponds very roughly to the vocabulary of an educated English speaker, about 5% of the words are borrowed from Greek directly, and about 25% indirectly (if we count modern coinages from Greek roots as Greek).My parents migrated here through the appropriate avenues at the time and they worked hard to make a home here. They raised three children who also work and are tax payers and are making their life here, even though sometimes I wonder why looking at some of this prejudice towards us. Sometimes I feel I have no country. Whenever we argue the point we are told if we dont like it go home, while living here we are called wogs, when we go back to greece we are called skips. So where the hell is our country then and why the fuck does anyone think they have any fucken right to say that we are not Australians and that this is not our home ?
So why after all these years my pearants who worked and paid taxes shouldn’t I as an Australian not be entitled to public housing, welfare or any government assistance if I am down on my luck ? I gave the best fucken years of my life in service of my country and is this the fucken thanks I get ? My pearants left their home in greece to come here and make a better life, they sacrificed everything and left their home to start a new life along side people who secretly dispize them. They never took holidays, never bought a new car and worked so hard they injured themselves only to find that as soon as they needed some help they were automatically acused of stealing welfare. My father has two slipped discs and my mother has carpel tunnel syndrome in both wrists from over work. When they claimed disability as they were no-longer able to work as they were in agonizing pain my fathers peranent disablment payment which he was entitled to was withheld and after a lengthy court battle was denied. Justice my arse… Prejudice is what it is, just another wog welfare cheat ay ?
When my house flooded in Goulburn I can’t count even one that came around and help me rebuild it from anglo saxon background. One was of scotish background and the other was of german background. Why ? because I was a dirty wog and didnt deserve it, as if I didnt work hard to buy it and swallow shit every day for it. Typical prejudice. I expect nothing less from so many racists. So you expect me to help the same people who in my life made it extremely difficult and unpleasant you must be joking right
The same arguments expressed in this letter were also expressed towards imigrants of european background. We were called wogs, faced violence from others during school and outside, were discriminated against and excluded from many activities by pears and even to this day I am still not considered an Australian by most anglo saxons. Shit, the same friend I grew up with two doors down from my home invited my friend from Newzealand to his wedding but not me two doors up. He was of scotish backgound.
My contribution to Australia through hard work dosent require recognition as this is my home just like yours and will protect it to the death but dont expect me to folow the riddicuous propoganda governments put forward and see me invading another country in the endless pursuite of oil because right now thats what is happening. Men, women, children and entire famiies are being opressed and killed all in the name of this “So Called War On Terror” and strangely enough all the countries that are being attacked are rich in fucking oil deposits. Co-incidence, I think not ! One of the ugly faces of Capitalism, fuck everyone as long as I am allright jack…
.
A perfect example of this sort of propoganda was the way Osama was killed. An un-armed person and his wife were shot dead because the soldiers felt threatened. This operation was rehearsed for some time acording to officials. How does a soldier feel threatened by someone un-armed cowaring in a bunker and why wasnt this man brought to trial to face justice. Its all a smoke screen to hide the truth, the American government had too much to hide by putting him on trial and too many dirty secrets they dont want to public to know.
Want another one, fuck ya here you go, Sadam Husein, executed for crimes against humanity… He was executed by the same government that apointed him. Fucken Hypocrits, you put him there in the first place to do your bidding which he did, Why, because once again he was a scapegoat for a government gone mad. No public trial, no eividence published for the public to see just once again another smoke screen.
Not only are we being lied to about the reasons for the wars we are also being gouged at the petrol pump and the hypocrisy of the Australian of anglo saxon and scotish public over looking the humanitarian cost of what is being done makes me sick. The same public is now claiming that muslims are a problem and all imigrants are a problem. Who fucking made the problems in the first place do you think, the same cunts ranting aboiut them in the first place. Just remember one thing, opression of a people can only bring a new generation of hatred and prevent any asimulation into the comunity. Just remember one thing, you ( Australians of anglo saxon and scottish backgrounds) are not the majority any more, we the Australians of non english speaking background are !
Not verry nice to feel like the minority is it….
The final stupidity about this letter I must express is as follows : You say muslims dont want to be here, then why are they coming, you say that the doors are open here for all refugees by placing people in camps, they are in prison and provided they meet the requirements they can enter but not otherwise and are sent back or indefinetely detained. There is a clear pattern of stipulation of heresay and hystrerical non-factual information. If you knew any muslims you would see that many of them work, contribute and integrate just fine in society including celebrate christmas, holidays, etc. At the end of the day they are still people and deserve the same chance as all humanity. I am glad that the primeminister has not replied to this hysterical racist rant as all it would do is incite racial violence.
All racists can go fuck themselves !

Don’t like it? leave.
I am Australian and I’m also only 14 years old looking for answers to school homework. I have read the whole e-mail and think it’s complete shit. He goes on about how good immigrants get it over here, and how he thinks they shouldn’t be treated like this, but does he not think about their traumatizing experiences on the boat beforehand? All of the mental damage that has been done to these people? They are, after all, people, and nothing more or less. This letter is absolutely horrendous and I hope Julia Gillard did receive it so she can answer all of his questions and stick it to him. David, you have no idea about anything these people go through so just get off their backs. Not all Muslims are terrorists. That’s just pure libel. You are a racist and you do not deserve to complain about immigrants when I’m sure your personal life is full of luxuries that do not come to them. And also you say that they do not want to be Christian. First of all not everyone in Australia is a Christian and Muslims have their own religion to follow. You’re nothing but a biggot and a git.
I agree with David Harrison, & we cannot allow Sharia Law into Australia!!
The Muslims AREN’T HAPPY in Gaza, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, SAghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon.
AND WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY??
They’re happy in England, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, USA, Norway, Canada, AUSTRALIA.
They’re happy in every country that is not a Muslim Country.
And who do they blame?
Not their leadership.
Not themselves.
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN !!!!!!
Lizzy, you are an idiot.
People come here to seek asylum from war-stricken countries and dictatorial regimes. Their countries are unable to protect them. I can’t even begin imagine the horrific things they have seen. The terrible things that have happened to them, their family or friends is unfathomable.
They come here because we have freedom, educational opportunities, a better way of life – and I think the fact that we can rest peacefully in our homes without worrying about waking up to a hail of bullets might have something to do with it as well.
What would you do if you were put into that situation? Its not all flowers and rainbows. Its either sink or swim. Some people risk their lives to come here to have opportunities that we often take for granted.
Muslims have lived in Australia for over a century – do you see any Muslim political parties? No. Have you seen any implementation of Islamic legislation? No. Now, if you weren’t such an ignorant, racist pig who jumps on the Internet to have a rant without something you don’t understand, you would know that less than 3% of the population in Australia are Muslims. If you aren’t as stupid as I think you are – you would know that Australia isn’t exactly busting at the seems with Muslims.
And for Gods sake – they are human beings.
most of these people sorry scum do not respect us . i have 4 generations of australians , i am going to get out of this shit hole because this ones lucky country will become a shit hole just like india . what is the difference from myself and a moslem i can think for myself they do not know how to think for themselfs. gillard is not an australian what a joke this counrty is , i am going were moslems have no rights , like we have no rights hear. i have so much shit on our government and what they do not want you to know if you want to know more just call me on this number 0427120706 paul mollica
