  The Programme of the Australia First Party - Australia First
Australia has a wealth of resources, and therefore there should be no need for future generations to be saddled with paying off the debt created during our generation simply because we were too apathetic to change the direction that our political "masters" imposed upon us.
Australia First Party will protect our sovereignty at all levels, both on the international scene and by the guarantee of civil liberties for our citizens, for there is no National Sovereignty unless it is in the sovereignty of a free and united people.
Australia First Party's policy is fair trade with the world, we reject the over emphasis on Asia and we totally reject the silly notion that we are part of Asia.

  Australia First Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australia First Party (AFP) is a minor political party in Australia.
The Australia First Party was founded in June 1996 by Graeme Campbell, who was an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives for the seat of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, from 1980 until he was expelled from the party in November 1995.
But the AFP was overshadowed by the appearance in 1997 of Pauline Hanson's One Nation, a rival populist party led by a former Liberal MP, Pauline Hanson.

The paper was later disseminated by Australia First with a cover note by Campbell which championed the paper as essential in demolishing the “orthodox drivel” on immigration.
Hanson was honoured as the guest speaker at Australia First’s launch on 28 February 1997, where she received a standing ovation from a crowd of 300 at the Albury showground in NSW.
By May 2001, after acknowledging that Australia First was truly an impotent political force, Campbell decided to bury the hatchet and return to the One Nation fold, declaring his intention to stand as a One Nation candidate.

Party members were supposed not to go into ordinary shops ('dealing on the free market', it was called), but the rule was not strictly kept, because there were various things, such as shoelaces and razor blades, which it was impossible to get hold of in any other way.
The frightening thing, he reflected for the ten thousandth time as he forced his shoulders painfully backward (with hands on hips, they were gyrating their bodies from the waist, an exercise that was supposed to be good for the back muscles)--the frightening thing was that it might all be true.
All marriages between Party members had to be approved by a committee appointed for the purpose, and--though the principle was never clearly stated--permission was always refused if the couple concerned gave the impression of being physically attracted to one another.

 Australia
In the federal election on 2 March, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) government was defeated by the Liberal Party-National Party coalition (the Coalition) under the leadership of John Howard.
The party was intended to galvanize the pro-gun lobby and disaffected right-wing and anti-immigration groups, and would have involved Graeme Campbell (Australia First) and Pauline Hanson (Independent, see MAINSTREAM POLITICS).
However, as a result of the debate on racism in Australia, the federal parliament passed motions, supported by all major parties, that condemned attempts by politicians to foster racism for electoral benefit and reaffirmed the right of all Australians to be treated with equal respect.

 Australia: First Socialist Party Summer School a big success
The first session on the relevance of Marxism in the 21st century was lead-off by Marxist academic Andy Blunden, followed up by SP's Councillor Stephen Jolly on the state of the class struggle in Australia today.
However as it was merely an alliance of already established small leftwing parties, and had no mass union or community base, it became a ghetto of the left and failed to make an electoral breakthrough.
This was followed by the session on the class struggle in Malaysia with Comrade V. Selvam of the PSM (Socialist Party of Malaysia) who gave a leftwing history of his country and reported on the exciting work of his party.

Three closely connected groups -- former Labor MP Graeme Campbell's Australia First, Australians Against Further Immigration (AAFI) and the Australian League of Rights (ALR)-- were the first to jump on the Hanson band wagon and have had an enormous influence on One Nation's policies and ideology.
In February, she was guest of honour at the launch of Campbell's Australia First, where she was given a standing ovation by a large audience in which members of the ALR and AAFI were prominent.
