Somehow I got on to the CEC's email list recently and have been receiving unsolicited press releases every week. Thought I'd check out their
website to see exactly what their policies were. My attention was drawn to their proposal for a new national bank and out of curiosity I did a search on the word GOLD in their
draft legislation.
Interestingly, in Section 40(3), they are including the very same affronts to freedom that are in Part IV of the existing Banking Act 1959, namely making it illegal to own/hold gold. They have pretty much kept the wording of the sections I noted in my blog on
gold confiscation.
After unsubscribing from their email list, I emailed them at
cec@cecaust.com.au and suggested they read the work of Professor Fekete to understand the importance of allowing private ownership of gold. Haven't had any reply as yet.
