We've been publicising political alternatives in Australia, notably parties which promise to fight population growth, because we don't believe that the mainstream political parties are taking the adverse impacts of population growth seriously. Another party that wants a sustainable population is The Australia First Party (not to be confused with the New Australia Party). It also wants to abolish multiculturalism. Australia First cops a lot of flack, but it also attracts the people in our society who carry the biggest loads and cop the worst treatment. Here is an article about fronting up to the dole office. Anyone who has had to do this in the past few years will understand the sentiments.
Aussie Senior Citizens
Aussie Senior Citizens are now experiencing the effects of the collapsing Globalist economic system, which has been imposed upon Australians over recent decades by Liberal and Labor politicians dutifully implementing the Big Business agenda.
Seniors who have worked productively over a life time, have contributed to society with family and community activity, put some money aside, have paid taxation of 1/3 plus of income, and were duped into superannuation schemes, are now seeing their savings evaporate as this Globalist ideology crashes.
The wholesale sell out of our Australian manufacturing and productive capacity to foreign interests, and the deregulation of our financial sector, to create a subservient cog in the Global economic order as a “trinket” type raw materials supplier, and an immigrant dumping ground - is the root cause of the crisis likely to now descend upon Australians. [Members of the 3000 Club excepted].
Compulsory superannuation monies, instead of being allocated for Australian owned productive development, have been used to stoke the Stock Exchanges, and for other usage in speculative exploitation. It was all inherently prone to collapse as per the contradictions of capitalism.
A rude awakening is now descending on increasing numbers of Seniors as they are forced to undertake the “Centrelink Run” - coming to grips with a pension system programmed to comply with the IMF/ Internationalist/ Globalist agenda to minimise Social Security payments.
The Centrelink Run
Step I: You front to the local office, and can experience first hand the Liberal/Labor/Green politicians’
immigration/ guest workers/ refugee rackets, but you fall into the queue for you still believe you count for something as a productive citizen, and your years of paying taxation had a purpose. You have your turn for the bureaucrat - and the near 100 question application form to see if the paltry $230 a week is to come your way. A number is allotted to you for the “system”. [No Members of the 3000 Club sighted].
Step 2: You bare your soul in the multitude of questions - any thought of the Aussie tradition that your
affairs are your business soon dissipates. Who are you? Prove it! How much cash have you under the bed? Have you been overseas and how much money did you take? Did you give any money away? What are your bank accounts? Any rooms rented out? Who has your super fund and how much is it? Prove it! What property do you own/got a beach shack/what’s it worth? How much for your house contents? What jewellery have you got? Can you cash in any life assurance?
It starts to dawn on you that this might all be about ensuring you get as little pension entitlement as possible.
But you are enticed by the idea that you might qualify for a health card for medical benefits, and reduced rates and government charges. How good is that!
When finished, you look at your arm to see if by chance a tattoo of the allotted system number has appeared, as you are starting to think that as an Aussie you no longer rate for much.
Step 3: You front before the bureaucrat, forms [and cap] in hand to be scrutinised. You are reminded
again about the Pension Bonus of $30k, available to you if you will slave on in full time work for another five years. [3000 Club Members get that in 10 weeks].
Your getting a bit edgy, aware that all your personal information is now going onto Big Brother’s database and available virtually to any Government department, and who knows who else.
You are informed that on your details, that after 45 years of work and paying taxes, your in for a part pension - $85 a week, as is your spouse - yes, a pension of $170 a week between you for the good life. And, you must also report in each month on any extra income you may generate so your pension would be reduced. [Still no 3000 Club Members sighted].
The penny finally drops that in the Australia of today Aussie seniors count for nothing!
What can be done.
As a group of citizens, the reality is that Seniors are past “use by date” to the Liberal/Labor politicians who have inflicted the Globalist agenda upon Australia.
Protesting Pensioners can “bare their bras” for the systems’ media, or petition these same politicians, but it is pointless. Genuine Seniors may find this difficult to accept, but it is this very same political ilk down the decades who have restricted, and devalued pension entitlements to the current poverty line level, and who continue to parrot that a liveable pension cannot be afforded. [But not for 3000 Club Members].
Petitioning Globalist politicians that have overseen our productive enterprises and natural wealth taken by foreigners, connived for near zero tax for multinational corporations, and other schemes of tax avoidance, squandered untold $billions on alien immigration and anti Australian multiculturalism, AND, stealing the 7% taxation surcharge [passed by referendum in 1947] to fund all Aussies a pension, is a total waste of Seniors time.
The facts are that “Regime Change” - a change of attitude, psychology, economic and cultural direction through the complete and utter rejection of the present traitor political caste and their Big Business masters, is essential to now attain social justice for Aussie Seniors.
The Australia First Core Policy of Citizens Initiated Referenda [CIR] and Parliamentary Recall can ensure this change - CIR remakes the political landscape - no ifs - no buts, for the citizen is again in charge of our society and values, not vested interest politicians.
The Australia First Party program is for all Aussie seniors at retirement age to have a liveable pension, related to the average wage, and secured on supply of appropriate identity to the relevant government administration. Nothing else is needed!
Australia First will take back our productive and natural wealth; we want Aussie control, direction, and ownership of our Australian economy, free of all Globalist dictates, and with equitable payment of taxation to provide pension funding. And, no Globalist political parrots like the 3000 Club Members.
If you don't fight, you lose. Join the Australia First Party for the change for a livable pension.
The 3000 Club
Members on this easy street ride include Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke, Meg Lees, Jeff Kennett, John Howard, Gareth Evans, Tim Fisher, Joan Kirner, John Cain, Alexander Downer, Steve Bracks, Paul Keating, Nick Greiner, etc, etc, all feeding off the taxpayer with their $3000 a week pensions. You won’t see this lot on the Centrelink run!
Australia First Policy Page
Australia First has some good policies for those who wish to stop population growth and globalisation. It was founded by West Australian, Graeme Campbell, years ago, after he was drummed out of the ALP for speaking out against high immigration (at a time when immigration was perhaps less than one quarter of what it is now).

Only the gullible or mischievous circulate slanderous rumours
Re: Above comment by Scott of 20th Nov 2010 'Australia First Party accused of inciting hatred'.
Well who produced and authorised such slanderous leaflets? Not AFP!
Obviously some unscrupulous political extremist group with a clear grievance.
So Scott, provide an example of this slanderous trash. Substantiate your information source. Prove your slanderous claims.
Else accept culpability for disseminating slander! Only the gullible or mischievous circulate slanderous rumours. It signals desperation.
What is Scott's unsubstantiated political motive for perpetuating such slander? Is Scott a member of a political party charged to slur other parties?
Why Scott?
Scott may recall the racist brochure circulated around the federal seat of Lindsay in NSW during the 2007 federal election. [Read: Lindsay Pamphlet Scandal]
'The Lindsay pamphlet scandal was an Australian electoral scandal in which Liberal Party volunteers distributed fake election pamphlets, claiming to be from an Islamic organisation that was later found not to exist, that claimed the Labor Party candidate would support clemency for convicted terrorists and the construction of a mosque in the local area. The incident made national and even international headlines on November 21, 2007, four days before the 2007 Australian Federal election.'
Such slur serves no positive purpose.
Rather than propagating such trash, Scott may wish to reconcile for the readers the inconsistency or otherwise of such slanderous leaflets with what the website of that of the targeted political party. Scott may learn something by having a read of the Australia First platform: Australia First Party website.
Scott may also like to research how consistently in particular the Labor Party has a record of deliberate underhanded slurs against other political parties that dare to contest their electoral turf. Yet despite Labor's immorality and reckless spending and failure of promises, somehow people still vote Labor.
One could name slang Gillard or Abbott or Brown any names under the sun, but it would be wrong because Australian moral standards demand mutual respect for other Australians.
I support political parties that respect Australian values and that includes Australia First Party. Bring on more parties to challenge the selfish irrelevant ones we have currently.

Frank disclosure of Australia First chairman's past needed
I think we should be careful not rush to judgement about the Australia First Party on the one hand or any of its detractors on the the other.
Whilst I agree that nationalism has been unfairly maligned by much accepted conventional wisdom, there have been variants of it in the 20th and 21st centuries that have been truly ghastly and actually far more harmful the Quisling-style anti-nationalism that has become a mainstream political orthodoxy in countries like Australia. (My fear is that the latter may even turn out to make the former look civilised by comparison, but, thankfully, that has yet to be realised.)
John Marlowe complained of Scott's claim of distribution of racist material earlier this month, which "appear[ed] to have originated from the ... Australia First Party":
A careful reading of Scott's comment shows that he didn't directly claim that the Australia First Party printed the material.
Of course, I would be interested to know why Scott thought that the material "appear[ed] to have originated from the ... Australia First Party". Nevertheless, I think it could be drawing a long bow to call it a "slanderous claim". In any case, if the Australia First Party did not print and distribute the material that Scott says seems to have originated from them, then, I would be interested to hear them publicly deny it.
Furthermore, I would be interested to know where the Australia First Party stands on the racist statements that Scott has quoted from that leaflet:
Does the Australia First Party agree that this is an unsubstantiated racist slander of black African males?
One thing that makes Scott's claim seem not altogether improbable is the past history of Jim Saleam, the current Chairman of the Australia First Party. He was, according to his Wikipedia biography, "a former member of the short-lived National Socialist Party of Australia in the early 1970s."
Whilst a person's past should not always be held against him/her indefinitely, I think we are still entitled, from Jim Saleam and his current organisation, the Australia First Party, a frank disclosure of his past and if, when and why Jim Saleam repudiated that past.
As ugly and dangerous to us as Australia's current Quisling-style, anti-nationalist orthodoxy has become, there are past historical movements that, at least to date, are far more terrible, bloody and dark than that.
The principle of these movements is the seeming opposite of anti-nationalism, that is, racist, fascist nationalism has been most awfully exemplified by Hitler's Nazi (National Socialist) Party which started the Second World War in which the order of 55 million died between 1939 and 1945. Amongst the dead were 6,000,000 jews. mostly murdered in the Nazi gas chambers are Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, etc. Other victims of the Nazi death camps were Gypsies, Poles. socialists, communists, anarchists and homosexuals. In addition, millions more died fighting to defend their countries against invasion, or in fighting to expel the Nazi invaders from their soil. The most horrific death toll, in absolute terms (if not in proportional terms), was that suffered by the Soviet Union. The most widely accepted figure of Soviet deaths is 20 million and, as horrific as that number is, even that is not the highest estimate.
Unless Jim Saleam is prepared to repudiate his past of participation in the National Socialist (Nazi) Party of Australia, an organisation which justifies the abovementioned crimes of the German Nazis, and of which he was a member in the 1970's and explain if, when and why he repudiated Nazism, then naturally, it will be harder to dispel suspicions that he remains a Nazi and that the Australia First Party is no more than a new vehicle to promote Nazism.
Furthermore, if the Australia First Party were to publicly repudiate the racist material quoted by Scott, it would be easier to dispel those suspicions. It would also help the Australia First Party to dispel rumours of its racism if they were to take a public stance against unjust wars which Australia has waged against other countries, in particular the Vietnam War, which, incidentally, members of the Australian Nazi Party actively supported by beating up anti-Vietnam war protestors. They would further help dispel that suspicion by speaking up against the lie used to justify the current war against Afghanistan and (indirectly) the war against Iraq, that is that Islamist extremists, based in Afghanistan, committed the terrorist atrocity of September 11 against the United States in 2001.

Australia First has good policies, but questions remain

A caution about slander and 'truth' online
As a member of AFP, I have passed on this discussion to AFP to allow them to directly respond. I am not a representative voice of AFP, just support most of their policies.
Slander is about making defamatory comments about someone that are not true.
Scott has made statements about AFP and a member of that party that cast dispersions on the reputation of both. Then in the same comment Scott has stated that the accusations are likely untrue. But the damage has been done. The innocent victim must prove innocence, which is unjust.
So I question Scott's method and consider his slur unfair. An ulterior motive appears confirmed in his subsequent comment above.
Having said that, I defend Scott's right to question and criticise the policies of a political party like AFP. I agree with the need for clarity in policy and platform by AFP and any political party seeking election. People have a right to know what a party stands for and on sensitive issues where it stands if in deed it has a position at all. Why didn't Scott just ask this as a comment instead of perpetuating an unsubstantiated slur?
But I am not a voice for AFP, so I cannot justify or defend AFP.
I am opposed to racial vilification and to bias against any racial group. I support AFP policies, yet there are some issues I don't agree with. And then frankly, what Party has members that agree with everything that the Party says and does?
I do have an issue with the 'predominantly white' quote. At the same time, I would feel uncomfortable if for some reason Australia invited 10 million Africans to Australia and the African culture became the dominant culture in Australia. Equally I would feel uncomfortable if 10 million Americans or Brits rocked up, irrespective of their skin colour. I think the colour thing is irrelevant. It is more an issue of preserving traditional culture (of any country), and on this point I empathise with Aboriginal Australians and what they have endured. This is a complex issue.
A CAUTION ABOUT RELYING ON WIKIPEDIA
As for Wikipedia as a frequent source of 'truth', on AFP and its chairman Jim Saleam, it too is slanderous and has been rejected by both. Yet Wikipedia continues to publish slander, false statements and untruths. Wiki has been approached to have the content removed, yet continues to allow it to be published.
I point out that the authors of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Saleam are a extreme left wing group with a bent on defaming and destroying AFP and its chairman.
If you go to the site and click on 'View History', you will see that a select group of authors have built the Wiki site. They belong to an extreme political group base in Sydney called 'SlackBastard' - check their website: http://slackbastard.anarchobase.com and another group also Sydney based called 'Fight Dem Back' - check their website: http://www.fightdemback.org.
So evaluate the 'truth' of the Wiki now!
You will also notice if you scroll down the Wiki 'View History' that yours truly has contributed to deleting the Wiki material, but each time the material is deleted, Wiki has a automated email update in place and these authors quickly restore the slanderous content. These authors know that people will first check Wikipedia to find out about AFP and its chairman, so these character saboteurs with Wikipedia complicity effectively hold the truth captive.
Imagine if this same slur was on a Wiki for Julia Gillard or Scott or the editors of CanDoBetter. This is a dangerous development in undermining privacy and reputation.
If one types one's name on Google these days ( long it is not as ubiquitous as John Smith) if one has ever posted comments online, the data may still be there for all to see, including potential employers doing background checks. People have been sacked and murdered from what they write on Facebook.
Irrespective of the merits of AFP, online character assassination is scary development, despite all the Australian Government's fan fair motherhood Internet Policing and Privacy Rules.
So my message is be careful what you read and what you write on line - we are each personally vulnerable!

Not everything said of Jim Saleam by Wikipedia is untrue
Obviously as John Marlowe has pointed out Wikipedia can be and has been used as a vehicle for slander (whether or not that is what its creators had intended). However, one fact about Jim Saleam which can't be disputed is that in the 1970's he was a member of the National Socialist Party of Australia in the early 1970's. Images, such as those included below, which have been emblazoned in my memory and the memories of many Australian political activists for decades, prove this beyond doubt
Of course, we can't hold a person's past indefinitely against him. As an example, Ross ("the Skull") May, in the second image,
has come out and publicly repudiated the Big Lie of September 11. Whilst, I can't be absolutely certain of May's motives, this nevertheless gives me hope that even people who, in their youth have promoted such clearly evil causes as Nazism, can, over years, develop compassion for their fellow humans and become forces for good. All the same, I think a frank disclosure by Jim Saleam of this dark mark against his past is necessary for members of the public to have confidence that the true goals of the Australia First Party are its stated goals.

Media dirt digging is why so few enter politics
Media dirt digging is why so few enter politics. Digging up someone's past is mass media sport, especially that of the paparazzi. Dare anyone have an unsavoury past, they shall be condemned to purgatory.
Here, slur as been perpetuated, denying any right of reply by the targeted subject.
I know no-one who does not have some part of their past they do not regret, but is it another's right to publicly condemn them for it in perpetuity?
I wager many a politician, if their past were investigated and made public, would have unsavoury skeletons in the closet - traffic convictions, public drunkenness, AWOL from the Army, unwanted pregnancy, dishonest conduct, shoplifting, mixing with the wrong company. Perhaps I am guilty of all these. I am not a religious person (as some may have gathered) but one Biblical quote here is apt: "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone".
