CLARIFICATION

For our foreign viewers and, as well, for those who know not Bro. Shaun well, here is a listing of the comments made by the reporter of The Morning Bulletin, and the truth of the situation. While I am not suggesting that The Morning Bulletin would deliberately go out and lie about the situation that they saw, they may have been "obscured" in their viewing.

• Why was there no official comment ? : The reason is simple. When this first broke the newspapers, one week ago (24th February, 2001/28 A.C.), we sent an email to our revered Pontifex Maximus, about media responses. Being fairly recent to the Church, we had assumed that one needed to be a reverend or have read the Holy Books before one could make an objective reply to the media. As we both had yet to reach this goal, we decided to wait for an answer. The reporter "interviewed" Bro. Shaun on Wednesday (28/02/2001) and a reply from Rev. Matt Hale was only recieved on Friday (02/03/2001), in which we were allow to reply, according to some guidelines. This delay was due to the public meeting, editorial duties and the law license conflict.

• Is the electoral roll public record ? : We assume so. We will not make any suggestions over the legality about how a mere newspaper could obtain our names, without us knowing of it. Naturally, they could have just seen it on the "Local Churches" page of the Creator website, and just looked it up in the telephone book.

• Why make mention of the navy paraphrenalia and high-violence videos and computer games ? : The fact is that the alleged "interview" was made whilst the reporter and protector was on the front door step of Bro. Shaun's house. They probably did not have a good view of the interior of the house. I am assuming the video games they saw were 'Command and Conquer', 'Sim City 2000' and 'Caeser III', at least, in that position, these were the games I could see. The videos were mainly war movies, the type with John Wayne in them, as well as a few futuristic/fantasy ones, e.g. the Star Wars Trilogy, Highlander. Maybe these can be considered to be high violence. As for the navy connatations, well, that is easy to answer - Bro. Shaun is ex-Navy : those "paraphrenalia" were insignias, patches and photographs, taken from his duty for his country, which included a tour to the Persian Gulf, during the Gulf War.

• Why refer our Church to the Human Rights Commision ? : I believe that this was written to assure the readers of the article that the authorities in charge (whatever/whoever they are) are taking some form of action. Otherwise, the people may assume that being supportive of your Race to be a bad idea and not very nice.

• Why does the paper refer to the violence associated, however vaguely, with the WCOTC ? : The newspaper wants to make us stand out as vigilantes, with white hooded cloaks and jackboots, awaiting the end of days, when we can crawl from the rubble and claim victory. Yeah, right. It must be said that there is violence assoicated with WCOTC but so is there with Catholicism, Protestants, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American faiths, etc.....

• Is there any referece to the actual information contained in this article ? : I would like to see the facts that they have used in their article, such as "...their numbers may be small ..." - how many exactly are there ?, "They spend half their time in the States fighting with other ...groups..." - where is the data to back this time-analysis up ?, and "... there are people like this who go around killing people..." - name these people, detailing their crimes.

• How can the WCOTC be condoned for the actions of the South African police ? : That is an answer I would like to know. After all, it was the South African police, not the WCOTC, who tried to recruit members to fight for them.

• Who is the leader of the Australian branch of the WCOTC ? : Do we even have a leader here ?? If so, I do not know who he/she is. I would also like to know who Peter O'Sullivan is as well !!!

• Why haven't the newspaper picked up on that Bro. Michael Ireland is a "racist" before and not publish his letters ? : I think it is because the newspaper likes the publicity - they don't really care for issues, just for papers sold. The controversary just sells papers - is it a co-incidence that in the week that the articles were in, the one day that there were no articles, was the issue that publishes the weekly TV times ??

• Does anyone know who you are ? : Yes. Our families and friends know who we are. The fact that we have a post office box is for convenience sakes, much like The Morning Bulletin's rationale for a post office box.

• What is your relationship to Pauline Hanson and the One Nation political party ? : There is no relationship to One Nation or Pauline Hanson.

• What is your relationship to Australia's gun lobby ? : There is no relationship to the gun lobby in Australia.
