Anti-Islam party Australian Liberty Alliance says members vilified, labelled bigots. The ALA called for an end to “Islamisation of Australia” and guarantees of free speech at its WA launch in Perth last night, saying they are vilified as bigots and shut down in mainstream channels if they speak out against Islam.

The party has pledged to “stop the Islamisation of Australia”, ban full-face coverings in public spaces and introduce a ten-year moratorium on immigration from Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries.

Senate candidate for NSW Kirralie Smith said political correctness was the greatest enemy that everyday Australians were facing. She said while the party supported a multi-ethnic society it was multiculturalism that was the problem.

“It is divisive and it’s censored,” she said.
