The majority of people in Australia did not know of this betrayal and thus the injustice continued. Opportunities were never lost to associate Croatia or its people with the word terrorism, in spite of the fact that no criminal act in Australia was ever proven. On the contrary, Australian Croats experienced decades of slander in violation of their human rights. Unfounded allegations resulted in police raids on Croatian community and religious property, frame-ups, wrongful imprisonment. In addition anti-Croatian propaganda justified the spending of millions of taxpayers' dollars to serve the interest of the extreme left political agenda in Australian during the cold war period. |
