On September 8, 2007, approximately 15—30 individuals, all white, mostly young, and overwhelmingly male, dressed in black clothing and wearing caps, dark glasses and scarves, gathered in a group outside of Sydney Town Hall as part of a public protest against the APEC summit, scheduled to take place elsewhere in Sydney that weekend. The group carried with them three long banners — with slogans reading ‘Australia: Free Nation – Or Sheep Station?’, ‘Globalisation is Genocide’ and ‘Power to the People, Not Political Parties’ – which were joined together to form a three-sided bloc, within which those gathered assembled to form a ‘black bloc’. The group also distributed a leaflet, and claimed to belong to a group known as the ‘New Right’, one which — as other statements on the banners and on the leaflet stated — consists of ‘National Anarchists’ espousing a ‘Traditional-European Revolutionary’ philosophy. This brief essay examines ‘New Right’ philosophy and its origins in Europe, the emergence of this groupsucule in Australia, and argues that it can best be understood as the latest incarnation in a European-based trend in neo-fascist ideology and practice.

All Heil The New Reich!
And the winner is… Sydney!
Ripped off Slackbastard:
- Welf: [threateningly] We Germans aren’t all smiles und sunshine.
Jones: [recoils in mock horror] Oooh, the Germans are mad at me. I’m
so scared! Oooh, the Germans!
[hiding behind Gerbil] Uh oh, the Germans are going to get me!
Welf: Stop it!
Claus: Stop, sir.
Jones: Don’t let the Germans come after me. Oh no, the Germans are
coming after me.
Claus: Please stop the ‘pretending you are scared’ game, please.
Welf: Stop it! Stop it!
Jones: [brief pause, then resumes] No! They’re so big and strong!
Claus: Stop it.
Welf: Stop it, Mr. Jones.
Claus: Please stop pretending you are scared of us, please, now.
Jones: Oh, protect me from the Germans! The Germans…
Welf: Jones, STOP IT!
This weekend, August 25–26, Sydney will be playing host to the Sydney Forum 2007, Australia’s premiere gathering of white racists, fascists and neo-Nazis. As noted previously — 2007 Sydney
Forum (May 23); 2007 Sydney Forum : Phantasy vs. Reality (June 15) — this year’s Forum has had its share of ups und downs, and the main organiser, Dr James Saleam of the Australia First Party (the Forum functions as a de facto annual conference for AF) has had to purge at least one speaker from the list following his successful campaign to have Baron Von Hund / David Innes expelled from first Stormfront and now, it seems, the weird and wacky world of (Australian) “White Nationalism” as a whole.
The crafty old bugger.

Saleam & Co. distribute racist pamphlets in Sydney
From the Sydney Morning Herald:
Racist pamphlet targets Africans
Connie Levett, Immigration Reporter
August 9, 2007A DEROGATORY pamphlet that vilifies Sudanese and Somali refugees has been letterbox-dropped in Sydney’s west, raising concerns about intimidation by nationalists of the new African communities.
The pamphlet - titled “African ‘refugees’ today, gangsters and drug-addled welfare parasites tomorrow” and targeting Somali and Sudanese youth - was distributed in Hoxton Park yesterday by supporters of the Australia First Party.
It claims the Africans do not assimilate well and are violent, and sets out so-called “well-known facts” about their intelligence.
“They have absolutely no respect for the laws of the land, let alone human life,” the leaflet claims. It criticises “bleeding-heart government-funded” social agencies such as the Blacktown Migrant Resource Centre and church groups.
Jim Saleam, the chairman of the NSW branch of the far-right party, said the pamphlet had not been created by him, but refused to distance himself from the claims made in it.
Like ice through a crackpipe, so are the days of our white pride
RRTAA!
Bloody hell.
Keeping track of the soap opera that is the local franchise of convicted criminal Don Black’s racist Internet site Stormfront is becoming increasingly difficult. Several weeks ago, its two leading lights, Perth-based couple David Innes (Baron von Hund) and Lilith Peterson (Lilith) declared that, as a result of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (fired at them by their fellow bigots), ’tis perhaps nobler to permanently retire from the world’s largest White supremacist online forum than to take up arms against a sea of far better spellers. Or to put it another way: their membership had passed on, was no more and had ceased to be. It had expired and gone to meet its maker; a stiff, bereft of life, it rested in peace. And if FDB! hadn’t nailed the pair to its site long ago, their participation would be pushing up the daisies. Their involvement in Stormfront, in other words, was off the twig; it had kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible. David and Lilith, in short, were ex-members.

Jimbo gets the hard word
The Official Site of the Australia First Party has recently had a bit of a re-design and now prominently displays the following message on the front page:
THE OFFICIAL AND ONLY AUTHORISED SITE OF THE AUSTRALIA FIRST PARTY INCORPORATED.
(President and official spokesman, Diane Teasdale)
From the constitution of the Australia First Party Incorporated,
Section 7.1 “The sole official spokesman of the party shall be the President, except only when a replacement or other spokesperson is appointed by resolution of the National Council from time to time.”
Section 7.2 “No member shall make, or is authorised to make, any statement on behalf of the Party except as specified above in this clause.”
