THE Australia/Israel Review published in
its Volume 17, No 20, dated November 3-16, 1992, under
the headline, ""The Odious Irving" a vicious attack by Mr
Jeremy Jones, a leading member of the Australian Jewish
community. David Irving sued for libel. The
defendants made no attempt to justify their libels. This
libellous article played an important part in persuading
the Canberra government to deny Mr Irving's application
for a visa a few weeks later. (He had visited Australia
twice before without problem). |
* As is evident from Mr Irving's
letter
to Mishcon de Reya, April 19,
1999, he had willingly
loaned a tape of his speech to the Jewish Chronicle,
London, shortly after the function; the newspaper evidently
supplied an illicit transcript of Mr Irving's (copyright)
speech to the Board
of Deputies of British Jews
which in turn rushed copies to its agencies around the globe
-- and that is how this transcript surfaced in Australia.
