From the ABC:

A year after anti-immigration leaflets and a subsequent rally caused widespread anger in Newcastle, similar pamphlets have again begun circulating in the city.

The Patriotic Youth League was behind last year’s rally, which linked an influx of Sudanese refugees with crime and gang-related activity.

The Australia First Party, which has links with the League, has this week distributed more leaflets under the heading “immigration is out of control”.

The director of the Newcastle Migrant Resource Centre, Violetta Walsh, says while the latest leaflets are not as inflammatory as previous ones, the message is clear.

“I think the message is absolutely crystal clear, you know, get them out of Newcastle, illegal immigration, any kind of immigration is out of control,” she said.

“Overseas students are targeted, the language is still very intemperate and incites racial and other hatred.”
