A planned speaking tour of Australia by British National Party leader Nick Griffin has been postponed.
Griffin had been invited by the Australian Protectionist Party, a fringe far-right political group formed last year, to speak about the “demographic genocide” caused by immigration from the Third World.
Griffin, who was refused a visa to visit Australia in 1998, had lodged an electronic visa application, but was asked by the Immigration Department to submit a full written application because he appears on the federal government’s Movement Alert List, according to ABC News.
The list contains names of more than 600,000 people who have serious criminal records or who may constitute a risk to the Australian community.
