A GROUP of white supremacists is planning to hijack Australia Day celebrations in Camden - as part of a protest against a proposed new mosque in the area.
The Daily Telegraph has learnt that the far-right Australia First Party, whose Sydney secretary is convicted race hate criminal Jim Saleam, is organising the rally.
The white nationalist party this week issued a call to supporters to attend the rally and distribute anti-Islamic material.
It comes amid growing controversy over the issue - read more and join in here.
“There is a public rally in Camden on the Moslem (sic) school question,” the bulletin stated.
“We will need volunteers in the general south-western part of Sydney to attend and distribute materials.”
Typical of much material issued by the far-right lunatic fringe, it contained no further details because of fears of being confronted by anti-racism protesters.
News of the rally came as it emerged three more Muslim schools are on the drawing board for Sydney within the next six years in a drive to develop home-grown religious leaders.
