Aboriginal Genocide - Oz Ignores Aboriginal, Iraqi, Afghan & Climate Genocides
GENOCIDE IGNORING (Holocaust Ignoring) is far worse that the repugnant crime of Genocide Denial (Holocaust Denial) because it admits of no response, there being nothing actually said to respond to.
Denial of the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million victims) has been criminalized in many Western European countries and indeed France and Belgium have extended this criminalization to include denial of the WW1 Armenian Genocide (1.5 million victims).
Now Germany has proposed that the EU should criminalize denial of ANY genocides. To overcome objections that this otherwise excellent proposal would constrain both free speech and scholarly research, I have proposed No-penalty Genocide Denial Criminalization (NGDC) in which the only punishment would be the public disgrace of judicial conviction for the crime of Genocide Denial.
Genocide Ignoring and Genocide Denial are entrenched in White Australia. Cowardly, dishonest and racist Australian politicians, journalists, academics and public servants who are notoriously involved in Genocide Ignoring or Genocide Denial should be acutely concerned - if only for their own skins - because of the prospect of generalized criminalization of Genocide Denial in the EU (and hopefully thence world-wide).
White Australia has had an appalling history of involvement in genocide - the Aboriginal Genocide that reduced the Indigenous population from 1 million to 0.1 million in the first century of colonization; complicity in racist British colonialism (that was associated with excess deaths in India alone totalling 1.5 billion); the Stolen Generations (forced removal of 0.1 million Aboriginal Children from their Mothers in the 20th century); and involvement in all post-1950 US Asian wars (18 million excess deaths).
The major ON-GOING Genocides in which Australia is complicit include the Aboriginal Genocide (horrendous excess mortality with extinction adumbrated by a top medical expert); the Iraqi Genocide (1 million post-invasion excess deaths and 3.7 million refugees); the Afghan Genocide (2.2 million post-invasion excess deaths and 3.7 million refugees); and Climate Genocide (that acutely threatens extremely populous West Bengal and Bangladesh in particular).
I have apprised Australian Media and MPs (including members of the Coalition Government) (see my letter below). I look forward to EU trials of Australian Genocide Deniers.
Letter to Australian Media and MPs:
Dear Sir. Madam, Mr, Ms, Mrs, Dr, Senator X,
I am writing to Australian MPs and Media re Australian Genocide Denial and EU Genocide Denial Criminalization.
Germany (like many other Western European countries and Israel) has criminalized Holocaust Denial. France and Belgium, in addition, have now criminalized Denial of the Turkish Armenian Genocide that commenced on 24 April 1915 and killed 1.5 million Armenians. Now Germany proposes that the EU should criminalize Denial of ANY Genocides.
To overcome objections that this otherwise excellent proposal would constrain both free speech and scholarly research, I have proposed No-penalty Genocide Denial Criminalization (NGDC) in which the only punishment would be the public disgrace of judicial conviction for the crime of Genocide Denial.

While the Australian taxpayer funds about $10 billion annually on “research” and “intelligence”, the Australian Parliaments, People and Courts are clearly NOT being informed about horrendous Genocide realities in which Australia is complicit by the intelligence officers, academics and other public servants in receipt of this funding. The explanations for this Genocide Ignoring (in some ways much worse than Genocide Denial or Holocaust Denial) involve public servant politicization and intimidation coupled with Media “politically correct racism”, dishonesty, intimidation and irresponsibility.
The following summary of on-going Genocides in which Australia is complicit is being provided pro bono publico in the interests of Australian MPs and Media and in the public interest.
Aboriginal Genocide – the "annual death rate" of Aboriginal Australians (Indigenous Australians) is 2.2% overall and 2.4% in the Northern Territory - as compared to 0.4% (what it should be), 0.7% (for White Australians) and 2.5% for pre-drought Australian sheep in the paddocks of Australian sheep farms. 20% of Indigenous Australians have diabetes and a leading Australian diabetologist has warned that they may disappear by the end of the century. [2]
Iraqi Genocide – the 1990-2003 excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not have to happen) in Iraq under Sanctions totalled 1.7 million and under-5 infant deaths 1.2 million; post-invasion excess deaths in Iraq (as of February 2007) total 1.0 million and under-5 infant deaths 0.6 million – evidence of gross Coalition violation of the Geneva Conventions; and there are 3.7 million Iraqi refugees. [3]
Afghan Genocide – as of February 2007, post-invasion excess deaths in Afghanistan total 2.2 million and post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 1.8 million – evidence of gross violation of the Geneva Conventions by the US Alliance; and there are 3.7 million Afghan refugees. [4]
Climate Genocide - Australia, the US and Canada are the BIG countries with the biggest annual per capita greenhouse gas pollution; Australia is the world's biggest coal exporter; the major parties want the coal exports to continue and have rejected Green Senator Dr Brown's demands for a 3 year phase-out; neither Bush-ite Australia nor Bush America will sign Kyoto or make serious efforts to curb greenhouse gas pollution; 90 million Bangladeshis are facing inundation by the sea by the end of the century due to the carbon pollution profligacy of the US and countries such as Australia; a major Bengali island disappeared recently – the disappearance of Lohachara, once home to 10,000 people, is unprecedented. A British organization (Bring Climate Criminals to Justice, BCCJ) has been established in an attempt to save Bengal and to promote prosecution of Climate Criminals responsible for Climate Genocide. [5]- [8]
Bush, Blair and their Coalition confrères should be arraigned for War Crimes as demanded by 2005 British Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter; the World Tribunal on Iraq headed by outstanding Indian writer and Sydney Peace Prize winner Arundhati Roy; and outstanding former Malaysian PM Dr Mahathir. [9] – [11]
Indeed Dr Mahathir suggests the punishment of public ignominy for war criminals convicted by his suggested non-government international war crimes tribunal (as I do for No-penalty Genocide Denial Criminalization, NGDC): "We should not hang Blair if the tribunal finds him guilty but he should always carry the label as a war criminal, killer of children, liar. And so should Bush and the pocket Bush of the bushlands of Australia.” [11]
While Bush and his Coalition confrères are unlikely to face the International Criminal Court (although I and others have presented detailed formal complaints to the ICC), it is quite likely that they (including complicit Australians) will face prosecution (even if in absentia) before EU or non-governmental Genocide Denial tribunals. [1], [12]
I would be very grateful if you would forward this serious message to all your associates in the public interest. I would urge you to advance Australian legislation on No-penalty Genocide Denial Criminalization (NGDC) as an urgent major priority in the interests of Australians and of Humanity. This information has been presented in the public interest.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya

MWC News reader – I’ll let you know of any response from the Lucky Country. However Australia has a determined “politically correct racist” culture of “I know nothing”, of “looking the other way” and of “walking by on the other side”. Don’t hold your breath.
