Mr DARGAVEL(7.49 p.m.)
—It is my melancholy duty to rise to bring the House's attention to the efforts of a neo-Nazi
organisation which is attempting to infiltrate members of the national parliament. This appears to have been partly successful. I am talking about the Citizens Electoral Lobby that has been set up and continues to be run by the American Lyndon LaRouche.
LaRouche has said that the queen is a drug pusher and that the holocaust is a fabrication by a zionist conspiracy. He says that people who bash gays are heroes. LaRouche has been linked with death squads in Spain. He was imprisoned in America for fraud. There is a demonstrated relationship between LaRouche and the Ku Klux Klan as well as white fascism in America.
We all remember the former Liberal member for Deakin, Ken Aldred, tabling documents in this parliament for the CEC that the Federal Police later concluded were fraudulent. We have had Don Veitch, a one-time activist of the CEC, Liberal member and a person harboured for a long time as an adviser to the former senator for Victoria, Senator Short. The former member for Isaacs, Rodney Atkinson, signed a petition for the CEC supporting LaRouche. We have seen how Pauline Hanson, another former Liberal aided by a former Liberal adviser, is being promoted by neo-Nazi organisations such as National Action.
The latest in this sorry saga is the member for O'Connor, Wilson Tuckey, whose office sponsored two activists of the Citizens Electoral Council into the parliament today to try to convert members of the parliament to their neo-Nazi cause. This is the same Wilson Tuckey who was convicted of assaulting an Aboriginal man, the same Wilson Tuckey—
Mr SPEAKER
—Order! The honourable member for Fraser is straying way beyond the mark of acceptable behaviour in this chamber. Refresh your mind or resume your seat.
Mr DARGAVEL
—I shall refresh my mind, Mr Speaker. The two CEC activists who are trying to work the back benches are a Mr Andrew Fox and a Ms Noelene Isherwood. Craig Isherwood, by the way, is the national secretary to the Citizens Electoral Council. The Citizens Electoral Council has been engaged in some fairly dark activities in this country and elsewhere by promoting all
sorts of terrible conspiracy theories. I will quote a statement made by LaRouche in reference to Her Majesty, which states:
Of Course she's pushing drugs . . . that is in a sense of a responsibility: the head of a gang that is pushing drugs; she knows it's happening and she isn't stopping it. All international terrorism is deployed by networks coordinated by the British monarchy.
Clearly outrageous. Clearly out of order.
I had today the misfortune of having these two activists of the CEC front up to my office and try and tout this nonsense to me. I inquired of the House of Representatives security desk as to who had sponsored them into the House, and I was advised by the security personnel that it was the office of Wilson Tuckey that had sponsored them in.
My concern is that people sometimes do not understand how dangerous these organisations are, nor how extreme and dangerous their views and activities are. I rise, not in a pleasurable way, to advise members of this House that there are some very extreme individuals being sponsored into the parliament who are seeking to meet with members of this House to persuade them about what are, in my opinion, very irresponsible, ridiculous and ill-founded views on things such as the Holocaust and World War Two or the activities of Her Majesty or alleged conspiracies—which come in all sorts of fanciful flavours. I would hope that all members of this House will be very careful about these organisations and certainly reconsider sponsoring them into this place to seek to represent their very misguided views to members.
Mr SPEAKER
—If the honourable member has not already, I would hope that he would take up his complaint with the honourable member for O'Connor.
