The sign said, “Pauline Warned You.”

About what? (Apparently not about the dangers of appearing on B-grade reality television shows)

Then the sign said, “That’s why they sent her to jail.”

Didn’t they send her to jail for electoral fraud?

Alone in a sea of people genuinely concerned about the Workchoices laws in Melbourne on Wednesday, stood a sad group of neo-Nazis from the Australia First party, including party “president” Diane Teasdale.

It was a happy reunion.

The last time we saw Teasdale, it was at the Sydney Forum. She asked some of the protesters if they were communists and they laughed in her face. Then she asked whether the News Ltd. photographers across the road were with the antifa. Somebody told her they were from ASIO and she high-tailed it back down the alley into the safe (loving?) arms of Jim Saleam.

But what was Australia First doing at an IR rally in the first place? This is a party whose more flamboyant members have perpetrated violent attacks against trade unionists, and a party which constantly insults the principles of the Eureka flag by attempting to link it to their deranged concept of white supremacy.

Need we remind them of the words of Carboni on November 30, 1854: “Irrespective of nationality, religion and colour, I call on you to salute the ‘Southern Cross’ as the refuge of all the oppressed from all countries on earth.”

Australia First members would do well to have a read of this if they have any further confusion as to the role that white supremacy has not played in any significant Australian event.

But back to June 28, 2006!

The Australia Firsters were standing outside the Politix shop on Bourke, and we’re disappointed to report that it was impossible to hear the occasional feeble cry of “strayan jobs fer strayans” from more than a few feet away.

They hung around for a little while after the rally, whereupon they were summarily ignored until they wandered off home, pamphlets un-distributed, dreams unrealised.

Meanwhile in Western Australia!

Outed ANM supporter and Stormfronter Sue Bateman and her One Nation buddies rocked up to join the protest in Perth at around noon.

They were yelled at until they went away.
