Rally against racism: Protest far right bigotry - Sat 4 April

On Saturday April 4, a far right mob calling themselves "Reclaim Australia" are hosting a series of rallies around Australia in order to promote anti-Muslim bigotry.

They want: to "ban the burqa"; to enforce "pride in the Australian flag"; and to make "Halal certification ... illegal".

They pretend that they are not racist but their real views about Aboriginal rights can be found in this video where one of the key spokespeople for Reclaim Australia says that "nice Aboriginal people are few and far between - most of them are dickheads"!

One of their supporters went on John Laws program proudly proclaiming to be a bigot! When even John Laws seems reasonable by comparison, you know you are dealing with some pretty extreme characters!

It is important that as many people as possible stand up and join the public stand against racism and bigotry. In Perth:
