The Rise Up Australia Party is a right wing, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and all around batshit insane Australian political party.[1] Ironically it is led by Sri Lankan born preacher Daniel Nalliah and associates itself with Christopher Monckton.[2]
[edit] Policy
The party believes in "the minimum (amount of taxation) required to achieve justice and efficient administration" and "socialism is to be avoided". It is currently unknown how they define "the minimum". [3] The party's energy policy is a blend of Global Warming denialism and insistence that coal power is "clean". The source of these views could be seen to involve Nalliah's creationist views and the amount of coal that Australia possesses and is currently mining. [4] The party is also a strong advocate of what it calls freedom of speech. Attempting to tap in to the current Australian discontent with Parliament, they state that they would actually agree with good policy. The only problem being that they most likely don't like what average Australians think is good policy.[5] The RUAP believes that the main goal of Muslims in Australia is to establish Sharia law in Australia. While they "love the Muslim people" they are opposed to their texts and doctrine.[6] Their dislike of Islam comes from the party's apparent push to curtail the "inalienable human right to pursue prosperity, happiness and freedom..." Of course, if you happen to be someone who is desperate enough to try and get to Australia and pursue said things then he will turn you around and/or let your boat sink. [7] Never mind that Nalliah is from Sri Lanka where many asylum seekers come to Australia from. The rest of their political positions are the stereotypical wingnut positions.
