Props to Australia First Party members in Adelaide for getting some media attention by jumping on the increasingly-crowded anti-refugee bandwagon<\/a>. A previous stunt in August — when some Queensland members joined a Mission Australia protest<\/a> — also drew some attention. (Sadly, a promise to protest at the inquiry into Tyler Cassidy’s shooting<\/a> failed to materialise.) On a slightly confusing note, Daniel Wills (Extremists warn of immigrant ‘invasion’<\/a>, The Advertiser<\/em>, November 17, 2010) writes:<\/p>\n

The party is registered in New South Wales, where it contested the 2007 state election and 2010 federal election.<\/p>\n

Re-elected Prospect councillor Bruce Preece left the party more than a decade ago after it lurched toward the extreme right after an internal power struggle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In reality, the party is registered in both NSW<\/a> and Federally<\/a>, and has, in one form or another, been contesting elections — local, state and federal — since its inception in 1996.

In 2006, the then Standard Messenger reported Cr Preece was a member of the reputedly white supremacist Australia First Party (AFP) when elected that year.<\/p>\n

He resigned from the party five days after the election after telling the newspaper a month earlier he was vehemently opposed to “bringing party politics into local government\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Saleam himself can be found posting on “reputedly” white supremacist website Stormfront<\/a> (founded by convicted terrorist and former Ku Klux Klown Don Black<\/a>) as ‘radnat’, and unlike most other leaders of Australian political parties, has criminal convictions<\/a> for violence (organising a shotgun assault upon the home of the ANC representative to Australasia) and fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
