Mossad, Drug Trafficking, Pedophile Rings and Australian Politics 🧵
1995
Liberal MP Ken Aldred used his parliamentary privilege accusing Melbourne tax lawyer Mark Leibler as working for the Israeli Mossad. He alleged that Leibler worked with the DFAT which harboured a 20 person pedophile ring.
Leibler responded to claims saying they were “bizarre” and demanded Aldred be expel from parliament.
Leibler accused Aldred of being antisemitic and said “The sort of whipping up of racial hatred that was a precursor to the Holocaust”
Aldred named former Australian ambassador to Cambodia John Holloway as being a pedophile and being involved in the ring. Holloway was arrested in 2004 on pedophilia charges but was found not guilty due to lack of evidence.
