Since the start of 2015, there has been a determined push by a number of far right groups in Australia to increase their influence by exploiting the current economic and political climate to their advantage. While Labour and human rights groups have organised counter mobilisations to oppose them, at the recent Federal elections, the One Nation party, led by Pauline Hanson, once again came to prominence on a platform of Islamophobia. History shows that such far right parties are a threat to workers everywhere and need to be stopped. A public meeting is to be held in Melbourne, Australia to discuss the best strategies to counter this growing threat.
