Privy Council smarting as CEC's MDBA interventions intensify

At the Sydney meeting, CEC activist Kundan Misra asked the Authority if they had sought good legal advice because historically people have been held accountable for their actions at trials in Nuremberg if those actions led to genocide. He described what they are doing as the equivalent of flicking the gas chamber switch, and said that their "just following orders" defence would not stand up. Afterward, a lady from ABC Radio who had been sitting at the other end of the room came over to write Kundan's name down and to check who he was with. She already had the CEC Murray-Darling flyer. An Australian Associated Press (AAP) reporter also interviewed Kundan. He spoke about CEC's position on environmentalism and the goal of reducing population.

At Dubbo two activists introduced the role of the British imperial anti-development policy of decades and each made the point that new infrastructure like the Clarence River Scheme would solve the river system problems, an idea everyone attending seemed in agreement with and which is often raised by others. At Forbes, Ann Lawler told the 800-1000 people the problem wasn't the Plan, or the Act, but Environmentalism which is coming directly from the Crown via Prince Phillip and the WWF in order to depopulate. She said the National Farmers Federation claims the Basin feeds 60 million people and Australia's population is only 22 million so reducing the Basin's capacity to produce will be devastating for more than just the people in the Basin. Around the world farmers and food supplies are being targeted for elimination under the WWF's environmentalism and economic reform agenda. The world, for several years now is facing dramatic food shortages so any attempt to reduce the capacity of the Basin is insane, unless the intention is to depopulate. The audience applauded Ann's comment and one journalist wanted to know where she was from but former Privy Cllr. Ian Sinclair overseeing these meetings said, he'd "take it as a comment". The following day in Bourke when Ann tried to give a similar message the response was quite different. The meeting was prepared by initial comment from the Mayor (National Party) that they wanted to hear from the local community before outsiders. He'd come across us the day before, and Ann was also informed personally that they weren't interested in our agenda—that they needed to hear from the community about their woes. Of course Bourke is one of the towns that faces elimination under this Act but, they also had a local parade before the meeting at which a group of school children sang "God Save the Queen". Two local National Party MP's were present at the proceedings yet neither spoke to the meeting.

At all meetings the signs on our tables were to the point: "British Genocide behind 2007 Water Act" and "British Genocide killing Murray-Darling" as well as previous signs such as "Environmentalism is British neo-eugenics" and "Environmentalism is a mental illness" plus "Change your convict mentality, Join the CEC" and "There's plenty of Water but No Infrastructure". The Bourke aboriginal community, several of whom agreed wholeheartedly with our stance against British genocide lodged a complaint about the way Ann was treated and the fact that Ian Sinclair (surprise) didn't take control and let her speak nor did he answer the question she did get out: "Why is the Water Minister also the Sustainable Population Minister?"

The local Forbes paper took Ann's photo distributing the flyer with the Prince Phillip picture front and centre and another freelance photographer also took photos of the table and the signs from all directions. A CEC activist was interviewed by the local Dubbo Prime TV reporter, speaking about how the fishing industry, another food source which he was once part of, was also shut down under the guise of saving the environment. The reporter was happy to get a copy of our Infrastructure paper and was later snapped by us doing another interview with it tucked under her arm in full view. At the Forbes meeting, everyone started to congregate out the front; farmers, locals, politicians, National Party devotees, the media, and right in the middle was CEC happily distributing flyers. The media would have had trouble cutting us out of some of their coverage. Ann noted that the SBS camera filmed her short discussion with Barnaby Joyce where he defended the Coalition and his position with his call for an Enquiry into the Act and where he said "but I don't understand why you guys go after Prince Phillip?" "Do your homework Barnaby," he was told.

Of note, several of the people associated with the Authority were genuinely interested in what we had to say and sought us out for a copy of our flyer, one even leaving contact details. This was a partly new crew to the previous week and perhaps because of the sharper message we delivered they may have been doing a bit of soul searching as to what it was exactly that they were being paid to deliver.
