"All nationalists and patriotic Australians now have a political vehicle", Australian First Party









Extremism is a term to describe the moves or ideologies of a person or groups outside the perceived political center of a society or otherwise claimed to breach common moral standards, especially who advocates extreme action. An example of extremist group is Aryan Nations which doing a partnership with other extremists. This site includes an “All Things Islamic” and a members-only “Aryan Jihad” section that against the Jews.


Graeme Campbell founded the Australia First Party in June 1996 and at this time this minor political party is lead by Jim Saleam. Australia First Party based on old fashioned Labor Party that has abandoned by Australian Labor Party in 1970s. This Party is rejected the policies of Labor Party and The opposition Liberal Party. “The objects of Australia First include the endorsement, nomination and election to the respective Australian Parliaments of Members of the House of Representatives and of Senators, and members of State or Territory Parliaments, who support the core policies of Australia First and who present as general policies such policies as Australia First endorses in respect of each electorate from time to time.”


Their core policies such as make sure Australia maintain full independence, rebuild Australian manufacturing industries, control foreign ownership, control foreign ownership, reduce and limit immigration, abolish multiculturalism, introduce citizen’s initiated referenda, strengthen the family, strive to rebuild a United Australia and Democratise other policy issues. Australia First Party obviously looks like work in positive movement, but in fact they are in opposition to the Labor Party of Australia. The example of this extremist group’s activity is in 2007, they allocated 2500 brochures that stated that refugees spread crime and disease, claimed for a refugee program that would resettle up to five sundanese families in the area. The council had primarily disapproved the program.


The internet when it comes for spreading information has a big influence and benefit. This extremist organisation, Australia First Party put in a detail for necessary information in their website, from the constitution and rules to the links about their party. Other form of their way to deliver message by facilitates internet is on YouTube. Many speeches and activity they published on that new media. Australian First Party is an open organisation, that recruit membership through internet. They put the requirement for the membership in their website and how to get the application for any reader who interested with their organisation.
