The role of the ALP in promoting violence

Unlike the unsubstantiated claims that Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party will "attract" extreme right wing groups, we are able, below, to prove that the Australian Labor Party (ALP) actually "promote" extreme left-wing groups.

First we will look at the 5 "clicks to anarchy" and then some of the resulting proof.

Because it has been so difficult to get the traditional media to grasp the Internet as a new media we have compiled a direct on-line comparison upstaging a later claim that One Nation's home page was "just 5 clicks from Nazism". This was fabricated to try to re-direct the heat off the ACTU and Left Link.

We subsequently referred to Labor's ONE CLICK from anarchy.. a more accurate picture.

Below are "Labor's 5 clicks to anarchy":

Australian Labor Party (ALP) home page
take "Where to look" link
take "Other sites" link
take "Australian Council of Trade Unions" (ACTU) link (the ALP is the political arm of the ACTU)
take "Links" link
"Trade Union and Labour Links" is the heading for the above page which recognises Left Link as a national organisation.
Under "National Organisation" links (a section which includes the ALP!) select "Leftlink - Broad Left VIC" link

You are now on the Left Link home page which provides promotional support to extreme left wing groups, parties and movements which includes the following collection of key anti-Hanson posts:
