Default Controversial Dutch MP's visa bid stalls

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-1...n-visa/4268532

Quote:
Supporters of controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders fear he may be refused entry to Australia ahead of his planned speaking tour next month.

The right-wing Dutch MP has applied for a visa to come and give speeches in Sydney and Melbourne, but the application has stalled.

In a climate of tension after the weekend's Muslim protest in Sydney, the issue presents a tricky dilemma for the Federal Government.
But this is the interesting bit.

Quote:
His speaking tour of Australia has been organised by an obscure anti-Islamic group called the Q Society, which takes a similar hard line.

Spokesman Andrew Horwood says the group are "ordinary Australians who are concerned about the march of Islam into this country".

"We are non-political, we are a secular organisation, and we've seen what's happened in Europe and we're concerned about that," he said.

"Our charter is to educate the Australian population about what Australia will be like in 20 or 30 years' time with Islam if we choose not to understand it."
Bet it's only secular as far as muslims go.

For your reading enjoyment perusal. http://www.qsociety.org.au/

Quote:
After all our nation is based on individual liberties, Western democracy and the self-evident rights and freedoms flowing from the Judeao-Christian heritage of the founders of the Commonwealth of Australia. While Q Society is a secular and non-party political organisation, we acknowledge the wisdom and the benefits flowing from the Australian Constitution and the preservation of Australian values. These benefits and values is what we seek to uphold and pass on to our children.

Edit to add. I saw this story a while ago someplace and Bernardi was supposed to be involved also.
Quote:
When the Wilders trip was first flagged a year ago, the MP mentioned the help of South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi.

But Senator Bernardi has told 7.30 he has had no involvement in organising the visit.

They turned out to have the whiff of wingnuttery about them.
Knew I should have paid more attention.

Somehow I don't think Bernardi will be able to help him very much in the short term.

He's just been sacked as Liberal parliamentary secretary by Abbott for the old "teh gay-->bestiality-->polygamy oh the humanity won't someone think of the children" shuffle.

Shadow parliamentary secretary Cory Bernardi quits 'in the interests of the Coalition'
