Just cause you don’t understand what’s going on
\ndon’t mean it don’t make no sense
\nAnd just cause you don’t like it,
\ndon’t mean it ain’t no good
\nAnd let me tell you something;<\/p>\n

Before you go taking a walk in my world
\nYou better take a look at the real world
\nCause this ain’t no Mister HoWARd’s Neighbourhood<\/p>\n

Can you say “feel like shit”?
\nYeah maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
\nI ain’t happy ’bout it, but I’d rather feel like shit than be full of shit!<\/p>\n

And if I offended you, oh I’m sorry…
\nBut maybe you need to be offended
\nBut here’s my apology and one more thing…fuck you!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

While tens of thousands of young Australians do a Pauline and take to the streets with Australian flags wrapped around their heads, shoulders, waists and bottoms — and painted on their faces, chests, arms, legs and stomachs (they’re obviously a forgetful mob) — and while comrade Tracey maintains<\/a> that “right wing groups such as Australia First, the League of Rights, One Nation, etc. have been very successful in mobilising working class people around a nationalist ideology” (while teh left remains mired in an unproductive ‘internationalism’), there has been some re-arranging of the deckchairs on the Good Ship White Australia. Thus:<\/p>\n

The Australian Nationalism Information Database is now closed.<\/p>\n

Go to www.ironbarkresources.com for essential information on Australian nationalism and the fight for our nation’s future.<\/p>\n

Following in the footsteps of the Australian Nationalism Information Database, Ironbark Resources is an educational resource to promote Australia’s national identity and culture, and to offer criticism of mass immigration, multiculturalism, and Asianisation as major threats to our environment, our people, and our way of life. A wide range of on-line publications and articles are provided on these issues, as well as on other issues of interest to Australian Nationalists.<\/p>\n

Files are being transferred to Ironbark Resources, with updates or additional work as appropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What follows is a potted account of the groups Tracey mentions; much more information is available on this blog<\/a> or at FightDemBack!<\/a><\/p>\n

Australia First<\/strong> (AF)<\/p>\n

While still linked to by that Lebanese bloke from Tempe<\/a>, the ‘Australian Nationalism Information Database’ has switched its allegiances to AF’s chief rival, the Australian Protectionist Party, linking to it, its zine, and its disco forum. By the same token, AF has been reduced to 53-year-old Dr James Saleam and a coterie of similarly middle-aged White racists<\/a> in Sydney, 58-year-old John Drew in Brisbane (who, it should be noted, enjoys “mixing and relating to young people especially fit and virile chaps”), a 40-something nutzi named Jim Perren in Crows Nest (Toowoomba, Queensland) and a relatively youthful Nathan Clarke in Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Like the other groups referred to below<\/a>, it would be mistaken, I think, to believe that AF has been “very successful in mobilising working class people around a nationalist ideology”. Rather, nationalism is a deeply-rooted phenomenon (hardly unique to Australian society), but in the development of which (White) racialist ideology has, historically speaking, been of critical importance. The Australian nation-state was, after all, based on the establishment of a British penal colony, the genocide of the indigenous peoples, and, for the bulk of its life, consolidated through the institution of a White Australia policy. This policy has been embraced by the vast bulk of the population, and only began to fracture following the mass migrations after WWII, the re-classification of indigenous peoples as citizens rather than fauna (as a result of the 1967 referendum<\/a>), the gradual abandonment of this policy in the 1960s and 1970s, and the re-conceptualisation of Australia as a ‘multi-cultural’ (multi-ethnic and multi-racial) society.<\/p>\n
