Greg
I am currently in an international departure lounge heading for S Africa.
I will be in that country for a month launching my latest book "Children
of the Mist".
Heiner will be the furthest thing from my mind - so fire away with your
questions on here now and I will respond as best I can, but you will ave
to be quick.
Please note my plane leaves soon.

I became a political victim of the system in QLD in 1999 - as you would
know if you read my book "Enemy of the State". I am not claiming to be a
victim - I am not alone. My book has just been put into an hour long
documentary through independent film producer Animus Industries. If you
are interested in purchasing a copy and seeing the role The Courier-Mail
played in pursuing a QLD citizen then you can order the film through this
link:
The double standards that are applied in the judicial system through an
entrenched Labor Government in QLD sickens me. They epitomise all that is
wrong with our "democracy".
I have kept the Lindeberg web page open since 1997 and will continue to
support him because his fight is for justice in a corrupt system. This is
not old news this is a very topical subject as the mainstream (Murdoch)
media have played a major role in keeping serious allegations of criminal
peadophilia out of the news. In itself this is a story just waiting to be
told - and I have a feeling a factual book on this subject will be coming
out soon. In fact the story just gets bigger and bigger - a tragic case
study of complicity between power brokers in the media and politics.
It is about time the media realised that they are playing with people's
lives by not keeping to their journalistic code of ethics. I know that the
Chiefs of Staff in News Ltd nobble stories that hurt their political mates
- but doesn't that action reflect the true lack of quality reporting and
demonstrate the ever-present voice of the Master?
I wouldn't be a Murdoch reporter if you paid me!
> Do you think you have been a key figure in keeping the matter alive?
REPLY:
No.
> What organisations are backing the move to keep this in the public eye?
REPLY:
I have no idea.
