‘Cooks Convicts’ — on this occasion, being repped by Neil Erikson, Paul Exley, Rino ‘Bluebeard’ Grgurovic, Danny Peanna\/Parkinson and Lachlan\/Logan Spalding — disrupted the 6pm service at Gosford Anglican Church on Saturday night. Dressed as Jesus(?!), the convicted anti-Semite and racist Erikson talked shit thru a megaphone while the priest, Father Rod Bower, asked them to leave and to stop harassing the dozen or so old people who’d joined him in prayer. Exley and Peanna\/Parkinson were members of the now-defunct micro-Party for Freedom (PfF), which in August 2016 staged a similar disruption. On that occasion, Exley and Peanna\/Parkinson were also present. (See<\/em> : Anti-Islam group ‘Party for Freedom’ disrupts Sunday service in ‘racist stunt’ at Gosford’s Anglican church<\/a>, Danuta Kozaki, ABC, August 2016.) Note that the PfF has recently completely fallen apart, and the remnants — including Nick Folkes, Toby Cook and Matt Lowe — have gone ‘full nazi’. Also: oddly, ex-PfFer George Jameson didn’t take part in Erikson’s latest stunt but was in Melbourne, where he joined Avi Yeminem and a tiny clutch of ‘Australian Liberty Alliance’ members in a counter-rally the ALA organised in response to a Palestinian solidarity rally outside the State Library. As for Erikson, on May 11 he got another slap on the wrist for contempt of court.

That was weird. On Friday, I received a message from some body called Pete D’Abrosca, who asked ‘Whatever happened to the old Melbourne Antifa page that caimed [sic] the Vegas shooting?’, to which I replied ‘I assume it got deleted.’<\/p>\n Pete D’Abrosca<\/em>: ‘Is there a way to know for sure that it was a hoax? Or do I have [to] trust “real antifa” and Snopes?’ This was apparently sufficient for D’Abrosca to pen an article for a n\u00fc right-wing site called ‘Big League Politics’.

\nslackbastard: ‘Well I reckon it was a hoax. And I should prolly know.’
\nPete D’Abrosca<\/em>: ‘How?’
\nslackbastard: ‘For a no of reasons: I live in Melbourne; I’ve been participating in anti-fascist activism for years; I know other anti-fascists in Melbourne; I read it; like other fake pages, it was a garbagefire; it appeared along w a slew of other such pages.’<\/p>\n
\n He\u2019s been \u201cparticipating in anti-fascist activism for years.\u201d (One can only imagine the amount of brain damage caused by such activity, which actually tends to discredit his claims further).
\n He \u201cknows other anti-fascists in Melbourne.\u201d
\n Finally, the page was a \u201cgarbagefire.\u201d (Garbage fire spelled as one word).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
