Australia’s far-right is building "hostile counterpublics" through US-based training and disinformation. This movement threatens democratic norms by fueling radicalization and social division. Vigilance and factual information are essential to protecting our community.

Far right content creators training in the US
Australia's far right is connecting with far right/"Christian" extremists in the US. They are creating their own online ecosystem here. The "common sense" they are promoting is titillating bigotry.

Extremist Christians are selecting One Nation as their vehicle. Our rights are on the line.
Australia has long maintained separation of church and state, with no established religion. In that context, progressives sense that coercive Christian politics are not a threat here. Question that.

"Western Civilisation": the far right's weapon of choice
When we hear the terms "Western civilisation" and "Judeo-Christian," we need to know what the Right intends people to understand. Far right supporters of Israel are using it to divide us.
