Announcement by Australian Council of Nationalists

The affiliates of the Australian Council of Nationalists have discussed continued reports by media, the comments of politicians and academics and the intervention of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation – upon the subject of a so-called ‘Far Right’ said to be active and growing in our country and which may opt to run violence campaigns.

We are disturbed by what appears to be a scaremongering campaign to persuade some Australians to accept restrictions on the freedom of speech and organisational association in order that this supposed threat be contained.
