I wonder if Lex was the bloke behind the 2% 'cascading' flat tax proposal (or was it 1%). The Libs would love to have that idea on board I'm sure! Heh!

I was trying to find out information on their policies a couple of years ago and could not find much. My understanding is that they were a far right political group that was a form of precursor to One Nation. My interest began when I realised someone I know (who is comfortably to the right of me) ran for this party around 1990.

Brogden can kick off the proceedings. Now that he's been told what the fella's like, he should ask HQ to conduct an investigation.

It's really up to the rank and file members to make him feel like a fish out of water. All political parties face the same dilemma in vetting out their 'unsavouries'. It's almost impossible to set membership rules based on beliefs or values. I wouldn’t have thought it was up to John Brogden at all Rob.
