For those posters that can read, here is the manifesto of ALA

reads like common sense to me.

For those further interested here is Bernard's speech at the launch of the party.

This also makes sense to me.

sonofgloin, don't get your nickers in a knot, I like you have no problem with the bloke running for the senate, that is democracy in action. I found it amusing the way the first few posts seemed to be all over the shop when it comes to this new ALA Party and Bernard Gaynor. Of course he will appeal to some within the community, whether that translates into enough votes, with preferences, to win a senate seat, it hard to say.
According to you the bloke has a strong military background, that is true. It is also a fact he previously ran as a candidate for Bob Katter's party. Its also fact that his controversial opinions led to his dismal from the ADF by army chief General David Hurley.

“Defence can confirm it has made a final decision to terminate the service of Army Reserve member Major Bernard Gaynor as a result of conduct that demonstrates repeated behaviour inconsistent with Army and Defence policies,”

The bloke is obviously controversial with his strong religions based views. As I said that will appeal to some, possibly including you sonofgloin.

As I said Paul, until today I had not known of the ALA or Gaynor. From what I can find his commission was revoked because of his views that the army is not taking into account the obvious agenda of the Islamists.

To be direct, I have had the same opinion since last week when the army changed the motto on the badge that their padres wear because a newly appointed Imam to some committee said it harked back to the crusades of seven hundred years ago, and it offended Moslems........lay down all you like Paul, but I will not.

"conduct that demonstrates repeated behaviour inconsistent with Army and Defence policies"

He didn't go with the PC swing,

We rallied in Melbourne today and not one "Far Right" supporter showed up to support us, so it was 35 UPF against 120 Socialists,Greens and Anarchists. We were all bare faced, they were mostly masked, they were so violent and out of control we had to be escorted all the time by Police and officers had to see some of the women to their cars as we dispersed. The inspector in charge instructed us on what to do if the Police line was broken, it was scary at the start because there were only about ten of us and those pricks in the bandanas and Guy Fawkes mask were closing in.
