Heroic anti-Islam Dutch MP Geert
Wilders has revealed that a new party defending western values will be
launched in Australia. Mr Wilders said he would visit Perth next year to
help launch the Australian Liberty Alliance, which he described as a
freedom party.
The Australian
AN anti-Islam party based on the hardline views of Dutch politician
Geert Wilders plans to field candidates at the next federal election,
raising fears among moderate Muslims of a rise in extremism.
Mr Wilders, an influential far-right
figure expected to shape the results of this year’s European elections,
told followers in a video message that the Australian Liberty Alliance
was being formed to “offer civil minded Australians fresh political
vision and better policies”.
Policies advocated by Wilders’ Party
for Freedom include deporting immigrants convicted of a crime and
stopping all immigration from Islamic countries.
“Many of you are disappointed by
current political parties and have had enough of politicians who sell
our Western civilisation,” Mr Wilders said in his video. “Like you, good
people in Europe, America, Canada have had enough of politicians who
don’t share our values and foolishly declare all cultures are equal, and
who lack the courage to speak the truth and say that Islam is the
biggest threat to freedom today.”
Australian Liberty Alliance was
registered as a not-for-profit business last month by Debbie Robinson,
the president of the Q Society, an anti-Islam think tank that was
responsible for bringing Mr Wilders to Australia last year.
The party
will be headquartered in Western Australia and is expected to be
launched by Mr Wilders early next year. It is yet to be registered as a
political party with the Australian Electoral Commission.
Ms Robinson said she intended to stand as a candidate.
Islamic Friendship Association of
Australia spokesman Keysar Trad urged Muslims to ignore the fledgling
party, warning it would “galvanise hardliners” on both sides of the
debate.
Q Society spokesman Andrew Horwood said the party would have no formal relationship with either the Q Society or Mr Wilders. He
said the party would be secular, conservative and campaign openly
against Islam. “Australia is a different country to The Netherlands but
we will be absolutely fearless in saying we don’t believe Islam is good
for this country,” Mr Horwood said.
