Geert Wilders Cleared to Visit Australia for Party Launch


THE AUSTRALIAN: The federal government will not prevent Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders from visiting Australia to launch a new anti-Islamic political party.

The Australian Electoral Commission on Wednesday approved the registration of the Australian Liberty Alliance, which will launch in Perth on October 20 with Wilders as keynote speaker.

In its manifesto, the party says it stands for “individual liberty, small government, Western values built on Judeo-Christian and humanistic foundations, social fairness and an integrated multi-ethnic society”.

Islam, it says, “uses the religious element as a means to project itself on to non-Islamic societies”, and is unparalleled in having both the doctrinal aspiration and the “economic and demographic muscle to impose itself globally”. » | Monday, August 3, 2015
