Bigots : Make your vote count!

Hey, right-wing racist! On November 24, do you know who to vote for?

Leaving aside the crackpot followers of Lyndon LaRouche (as well as a few cranks within the major parties), other candidates in this year’s Federal Election on the (far) right include:

1) The Wicked Witch from Ipswich

Pauline Dancin’ Hanson is running for a Queensland Senate seat this year, yet another attempt to Unite Australia under her flatulent banner. She apparently has some chance of succeeding (although her running-mate, David Saville, has none), thanks in part to Family First (and for which thanks is ultimately due to a handful of hacks in the Victorian ALP), but most likely won’t be using the Upper House to moan about Muslims anytime soon. And to prove it’s not all about her status as the Mother of the Nation, Pauline’s Party is also standing two losing candidates in NSW: Brian Burston and John Carter. Of course, pitted against the ex-convict and her associates in the race for the racist vote is:

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.”

Australia First: Beneath the Surface

From the Oz:

White supremacy in our backyard

Australia First says publicly it’s not a racist party. Dan Box went under cover for months to get the real story

——————————————————————————–

March 04, 2006

ONCE a month, the local branch of the Australia First party meets in the backyard of a small house in Tempe, inner-western Sydney, to drink beer, cook sausages and plot the triumph of the white race.

Last Saturday, however, was a “special meeting”, hosted at home by the party’s state co-ordinator, Jim Saleam.

Up for debate was how to turn the rollercoaster of publicity received after the Cronulla race riots into a legitimate political campaign.

While Australia First is commonly described as a neo-Nazi party, publicly the party claims it is not a racist organisation.

It says it is looking to legitimise itself, eyeing the next local council elections in Cronulla’s Sutherland Shire as a starting point.

Privately, the backyard drinkers can’t help themselves.

Speaking to The Weekend Australian, which attended the meeting using an assumed name, Jeremy Costello recalled a recent drive to Bondi, where he saw a rabbi walking down the road.

“We leaned out of the window and shouted ‘Sieg heil! Sieg heil!’,” he said.

“Shit, these rabbis take things seriously.”

Diane Teasdale: Naive or a Liar?

From The Age:

…Mrs Teasdale denied that Australia First pursued neo-Nazi agendas but she admitted she did not know if radical elements had infiltrated the party.

“Whether those radical elements are in it I do not know, but those in the leadership positions are not. We are fairly straight-down-the-line middle Australia,” she said.

Come now, Mrs. Teasdale! Must we remind you of the sort of people who attend Australia First rallies?

Australia First

And of the violent, criminal history of Australia First’s biggest name?

We at FightDemBack wonder if Mrs. Teasdale is just incredibly naive, or if she is like the rest of her party, a terrible liar.
