Documents on the Australian Ban David Irving to his Australian lawyer Ed Wall after scrutinising secret documents prised out of Australian Government files under a Court Order June 25, 1994 David Irving after challenging prime minister John Howard in London

on October 23, 1997. [For an Index to this Dispute, click the Flag ] David Irving, Fax letter to his Australian lawyer Ed Wall June 25, 1994 Dear Ed, I HAVE only now found time — with the completion of my Goebbels manuscript , which went off to the publishers last week, thank God — to digest that inch-thick Affidavit by A H Northam. It is water under the bridge, but since it also represents what the Govt. was told against me, here are a few comments.

Firstly, the scattered documents — what a pity we could not proceed to Discovery to see the other letters, replies, etc! — show the world Jewish community frantically putting pressure on embassies around the world to stop me lecturing by whatever means, including arrest and deportation.

The principal quotations ( “neo-Nazis”, “Nazis”, “extremists”, etc) are from Jewish newspapers or from Searchlight , the London Jewish-financed smear-sheet edited by Gerald Gable who has me to thank for his criminal record (1963) as a burglar and thief . Small point: true, on Jewish insistence I was expelled from Austria in June 1984; but the Austrian courts found that the expulsion was wrongful and awarded damages.

I have now written to the Austrian ambassador demanding to know about the so-called “Interpol arrest warrant”: enforce it or tear it up! The affidavit mentions many people completely unknown to me; or uses those people’s actions and speeches to blacken me. The speech transcript they have (September 1992, many faults in transcription) was from a tape I voluntarily provided to the London Jewish Chronicle ; they made a full transcript.

I have no objections — its content was witty and wholly legal. Interesting side-line: the Australian Jews evidently use Media Monitors of Victoria to watch for every newspaper and broadcast reference to me. Yours sincerely, David Irving your local index (Australia)
