November 10The Australian Restoration Party. Never heard of it? That’s because it is late for a very important date, November 24. Supporters couldn’t get their act together and plan to start up next year and lead the charge against creeping republicanism in the advent of a Labor victory.
“The Australian Restoration Party is as its name suggests. Its purpose is to set about restoring our rights and freedoms - those aspects of the ‘Australian way of life’ that we have gradually been robbed of in the past 50 or so years, by atheistic and agnostic politicians and bureaucrats who … have all but torn to shreds our basic, fundamental, orderly and intelligent way of life,” said its founder Jackie Rose, a Victorian schoolteacher. The last time we spotted Rose she was in the lunar right Confederate Action Party, which disintegrated after claims of unethical conduct and unaccounted finances.
