I used this letter in my matter before the FCA and I also wished to have<br />

Justice Goldberg as a witness, hostile no doubt, to show how Jewish<br />

pressure operates within Australia’s society. Justice Lander denied my<br />

request, and so I could not illustrate the truth of my maxim: Don’t blame<br />

the Jews, blame those that bend to Jewish pressure! Joyce Steele did not<br />

bend to Jewish pressure and did not dis-endorse Bennett’s book. What<br />

happened to her as a consequence to not bending? Nothing – she called<br />

their bluff, and to this day her portrait graces the wall in the House of<br />

Assembly in the South Australian Parliament. She upheld the moral and<br />

intellectual virtues of truth, honour and justice.<br />

Why was Bennett’s book to be dis-endorsed? Within his legal primer he<br />

dared to mention the Holocaust, Butz’s The Hoax of the 20th Century, and<br />

other matters. Bennett was thrown out of the Victorian Civil Liberties<br />

Council, which he founded with two other friends during the late 1960s, all<br />

because he touched on the Holocaust topic; and so he began his own<br />

Australian Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Such was the pressure on<br />

individuals when they began to open themselves to the Holocaust<br />

controversy during the early 1980s.<br />

The Goldberg letter goes down in history for two reasons. Firstly, John<br />

Bennett formally introduced Revisionism to Australia when in 1979 Willis<br />

Carto invited him to become a member of the newly-formed Institute for<br />

Historical Review-IHR in California, USA. The destruction of the IHR in<br />

1993 through legal means is symptomatic of non-Jews bending to Jewish<br />

pressure. Bennett’s publication is a concise legal primer ideally suited for<br />

students. Jewish interests did not like him including Revisionist material that<br />

questioned the veracity of the officially sanctioned Holocaust narrative,<br />

never mind that this was full of inconsistencies and contradictions. For a<br />

civil libertarian like Bennett it was of paramount importance that free<br />

expression not be criminalised, as was happening in Germany when in<br />

1983, for example, the University of Göttingen stripped Judge Wilhelm<br />

Stäglich of the doctorate it had conferred on him during the 1950s. This act<br />

sent a chill through German academia especially because the reason given<br />

for this action stated that Stäglich’s 1979 book Der Auschwitz Mythos<br />

discredited the academic title. A similar move was made in 2000 when New<br />

Zealand’s organised Jews tried to force Canterbury University to withdraw<br />

its 1993-conferred Masters of Arts degree from Joel Hayward and turn it<br />

into a BA because Hayward’s thesis concluded that there was no evidence<br />
