My story.

In 1945 my father served the cause of freedom with the Australian army in Morotai and Balikpapan in what was then the Dutch East Indies. He was there when the Indonesian nation was born.

In 2015 to celebrate the 7Oth anniversary of 1945, with the help of officers of each of the Indonesian army, navy and air foce I was involved in planting memorial trees on Morotai.

One reason I did this is because Indonesia is a vital buffer between Australia and China.

In 2016 I.obbied ALP politicians in Maribyrnong for tree planting like I had done in Indonesia.

They had me arrested by the police and taken to a domestic violence court for lobbying a politician. Lawfare.

Now there are Chinese warships in the Great Australian Bight.

Labour does not defend Australians.

Labor attacks Australians.

Who will stop them?
