PERTH, Australia (AFP) – Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders was Wednesday met by protesters as he helped launch a new political party in Perth, the Australian Liberty Alliance.
The Dutch firebrand and eurosceptic, who was controversially granted a visa, said the new party was modelled on his own Freedom Party in opposing “the Islamisation process”.
The secular Australian Liberty Alliance was set up by the Q Society of Australia, a volunteer-run anti-Islam lobby group established in Victoria state in 2010. The size of its membership is not known.
“Elsewhere in Europe, like minded parties, such as in Austria, Sweden, France and even Switzerland, have become big parties as well,” he said after braving a small but vocal group of protesters chanting “say it loud, say it clear, racists are not welcome here”.
“Everywhere in Europe the people, not the political elite, not the governments, are saying enough is enough,” added Wilders, who was invited by the party to attend the launch in Perth.
Off topic but is anyone else getting a ridiculous ‘virus alert’ pop-up on iotw?
It has hit me twice and I have to kill the page.
I got one on the Microsoft Edge browser. I haven’t gotten one on the Mozilla Firefox browser.
I am using Firefox.
I can handle the annoying ones but these are destructive and take over the site and I have to close the browser.
This pops up:
Critical programming error alert

Trump needs to enlist Wilders as an adviser on all matters concerning mooslimes. I would also advise Trump to enlist Lord Monchton to advise on matters (and bullshit) concerning the climate change hoax.
I got the same message. I hit crtl/alt/delete and let program manager close it. I really don’t know another way to stop it. I have had a couple different reputable anti-virus programs that have been unable to stop it- currently Kaspersky and formerly Eset NOD. Sorry I can’t offer more info.
Yep – twice for me. It’s a scam targeting Macs. They’re set up so you have to hit force quit to escape them. I reset my history and safari – better now.
Yes. I was glad to hear that it wasn’t just me. I guess misery loves company.
I hope Geert lights a fire under a lot of Aussie asses and gets them to step up and eradicate islam before it destroys them.
I had to look up the word “Eurosceptic”, I thought it was a typo. Nope, it’s a real word. Learn something new every day.
GO GEERT!!
