The One Nation Party's policies could lead to the same racial hatred which became the basis for Nazi Germany and, in its extreme, lead to the extermination of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander races in Australia, says Les Malezer, General Manager of the Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA).
"Pauline Hanson has achieved her notoriety by attacking and accusing our people of exploiting the white people," he said.
Les Malezer says this propaganda campaign is the same type of militant campaign used by Adolf Hitler and the social democrats, the Nazi Party, of the 1930's.
"Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party is the 'Nazi Party of Australia' in the 1990's and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander races are the targets of race attacks, like the Jews were targeted in Europe."
"The Pauline Hanson One Nation Party is inciting cultural genocide by claiming that our culture is inferior and to be feared, and that we must be assimilated to be like white Europeans," he said.
"Pauline Hanson has claimed that Indigenous Australians eat babies, and that we should apologise to white Australians for the past 200 years."
"These sentiments are irrational and pure nonsense, but this type of hatred is highly contagious and dangerous to our people's lives."
"Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party is openly proud of its intention to extinguish our rights in Australian law to possess land."
"The Party uses race to distinguish us as land owners and makes outrageous claims that our legal rights are the cause of white misery in Australia. This is the same propaganda approach used by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party to dispossess the Jews in Germany."
Les Malezer says the rise of Nazi-type sentiments, aimed at Indigenous people in Queensland, should be loathed and avoided.
"The advance of a 'Nazi Party' in Queensland is an insult not only to our races but to the many Australians who fought against the Nazi Government of Germany in World War 2," he said.
"We urge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to campaign vigorously against the Pauline Hanson One Nation Party and its sympathisers, because the futures of our races, and our children are at stake."
"We urge the public to reject the propaganda and hatred of the Pauline Hanson One Nation Party."
