From The Age:

One Nation’s ‘racist’ leaflet

A FLYER by One Nation’s candidate for Bruce electorate, Neil Smith, has been condemned as racist and xenophobic for claiming that Glen Waverley has been turned “into a suburb of Beijing”.

The leaflet, distributed to about 3,000 homes in the south-eastern suburbs electorate held by Labor’s Alan Griffin, calls for a “100 years moratorium on coloured immigration”.

“That treacherous Liberal party has turned Glen Waverley into a suburb of Beijing and instigated the genocide destruction of our WHITE AUSTRALIAN IDENTITY,” it reads.

Both the Liberals and Labor have preferenced One Nation last for tomorrow’s poll, but Family First have put Mr Smith above Labor, the Democrats and Greens candidates on their how-to-vote cards.

Mr Griffin, Labor’s shadow minister for Veterans Affairs, condemned the leaflet as racist, unfair and unreasonable.

“It’s racist and offensive and doesn’t add anything to sensible political debate,” he said.

Mr Griffin said he was disappointed that Family First had decided to preference Mr Smith ahead of Labor.

“They like to pretend that they are a party of conscience and of decency and then they preference One Nation in Bruce and One Nation in the Senate,” he said.

Angela Randall, the Liberal candidate for Bruce, declined to comment on the flyer but said she found it “astounding” that Family First had preferenced Mr Smith before Labor, the Democrats and Greens.

But an unrepentant Mr Smith, who contested the seat of Mount Waverley at last year’s State election as an independent, said he was a “self-declared racist” and his comments were common sense.

“There is hardly a white man left in Glen Waverley,” he said.

“It has got to be stopped, it’s like a plague down there … There is a limit otherwise if you come along in 50 years there will be no white man here …it’s genocide by immigration.”

Family First did not respond to questions from The Age about the pamphlet or their preference allocation.

In the Victorian Parliament, Minister for Children Maxine Morand, whose state electorate takes in part of the Federal seat of Bruce, said the leaflet was “appalling racism. One Nation is saying that you are welcome into Australia if you are white, but not welcome if you are not white.

“You can hardly believe that these sort of views still exist in our community.”
