Catalyst: Good communities are free from violence and abuse

From Catalyst:

Catalyst is working with community, faith, union and human rights organisations to prevent the visit to Australia of Nick Griffin in December 2008. Griffin is the leader of the far right British National Party and is connected with some of the most extremist right wing individuals and organisations around the globe.

Nick Griffin has been convicted of incitement to racial hatred in the UK. He was denied entry to Australia in 1998 by the former Minister Philip Ruddock. Ten years on, his views remain deeply offensive and divisive.

Griffin has been invited here by the recently formed Australian Protectionist Party (APP) who have said he is here to talk about the BNP’s “fight to protect Britain and its people from the demographic genocide that is threatening their homeland, caused by the large-scale immigration of people from the Third World.”

The APP are a minority organisation who are using Nick Griffin to raise their own profile to peddle racism and abuse.

Tell the Minister that we have no place here for the extremist views of far right politicians like Nick Griffin.

Ask the Minister to use his power to refuse or deny entry to Mr Griffin. Under the Migration Act, the Minister can take steps to refuse a visa where there is a risk that a person will vilify, incite, create discord or represent a danger to the community.

Nick Griffin, and the violent neo-Nazi ideology he is trying to sell, represent a clear danger to the community. Visit Catalyst and use their form to let Senator Chris Evans know what you think.
