   Australia First members from all over the nation will be attending the protest against multiracial immigration at Martin Place in Sydney on February 1, 2009. A group of Brisbane party branch members will be going to Sydney for this important expression of opposition to the daft immigration system which is ruining our cities in a variety of ways. All inquiries to Mike Bellringer

For those who enjoy alcoholic drinks a train station is nearby.

      On 22-12-2008 Ngaire McGaw of 17 Mile Rocks in Brisbane had the following letter to the editor published in the Courier Mail newspaper. A portion of it is below.  

         " I refer to your editorial "Caution needed on immigration" (C-M, Dec 20-21), focussing on Premier Anna Bligh's call for the federal government to revoke the visas of foreign mining workers so that their jobs can go to australian nationals. I agree that caution is needed when debating immigration or any form of population policy. However, Premier Bligh has said nothing to suggest that she is racist. South-east Queensland has been bursting at the seams for years so I am delighted to see immigration levels being reviewed because of the mining and economic downturn..........It is not just the economic downturn that should be driving a debate about population. In the climate change context, calling for less immigration does not necessarily mean you are racist." 

      "How Can I Stop Climate Change" is a recent book by Helen Burnley and Chris Haslam. Published by Collins on behalf of Friends of the Earth in the U.K., it is a very readable analysis of the global warming issue. For more information see http://www.foe.co.uk/living  Australia First is an environmentalist political party. We are different from the Greens in that we recognise the folly of high levels of largely non-white, nondiscriminatory immigration. We also campaign against the current immigration system. This book provides many practical ways to do your bit to reduce energy consumption.
