Neo-Nazis step up race-hate

A NEO-NAZI group has not only admitted waging a race-hate campaign against African refugees in Toowoomba, but warned that it will be intensified in the Queensland city and elsewhere in Australia.
White Pride Coalition spokesman Terry Davis said his members had plastered Toowoomba and the nearby town of Crows Nest with posters and distributed brochures describing white women as the “world’s most endangered species”.

“Our Queensland branch has been rather active, I’m pleased to say,” Mr Davis said.

“When you get crime in these areas, you know it’s going to be the blacks.

“Something has to be done about it.”

One Sudanese family has been forced to leave its home after being harassed, and refugees have been pelted with rotten eggs and potatoes.

Mr Davis said his members were not responsible for physical attacks, but he could understand why others felt motivated to use violence.

“People feel frustrated and they’re taking out their frustration in various forms,” he said.

“We’ll be seeing a lot more of this. It’s frustrating when your television is stolen or your daughter is raped.”

Toowoomba Mayor Di Thorley said there was no evidence that the refugees were a crime risk, and most residents were appalled at the behaviour of the White Pride Coalition.

“These people from Sudan are amazingly brave,” Ms Thorley said. “They have put up with so much hardship.

“I can’t understand this attitude towards them. They are welcome in our city.”

The Catholic Church has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission about the White Pride Coalition’s activities in Toowoomba.

Executive Council of Australian Jewry spokesman Jeremy Jones said any refugee offended by the campaign would have a strong case against the group under anti-vilification laws. “These laws are intended to protect vulnerable people in their position.”

He said Sydney’s Macquarie University should consider taking action against its public law associate professor, Andrew Fraser, who last week supported the anti-refugee campaign by claiming Africans were a crime risk because they had low IQs and high testosterone levels.

Professor Fraser was defying the university’s policy of restricting the public comments of academics to areas of their special expertise, Mr Jones said.

Macquarie University Acting Vice-Chancellor John Loxton is reviewing university policy to ensure staff do not give the impression they are acting in an official university capacity when they are not.
