Australians Against Further Immigration
Linked to the League of Rights

The following is a statement by the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission, a Jewish anti-racism watchdog.

Despite claims by One Nation that there are no links between it and the League of Rights, the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission has discovered suggestions to the contrary.

The Co-founder of Australians Against Further Immigration (AAFI), and One Nation’s Victorian leader Robyn Spencer has addressed numerous League of Rights meetings as well as delivered a speech with League of Rights, Advisory National Director Eric Butler.

Mr Mark Briskin, Director of Research and Publications of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission said, " One Nation’s far right credentials have become further established with the revelation of the connection between AAFI and the League of Rights. One Nation claims that they cannot help if far-right figures lend them support, yet their own chosen representative in Victoria is associated with the League of Rights. One Nation has established a medium by which Australia’s far right can seek legitimacy".
