History

The CEC was originally established as an electoral front for the Australian League of Rights^{[citation needed]}, an extreme right-wing group led by Eric Butler. CEC candidate Trevor Perrett won the Queensland State seat of Barambah at a by-election, held after former Queensland Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen resigned from State Parliament in 1987. However, Perrett soon switched to the National Party. ^[4] The CEC was taken over in 1996 by supporters of LaRouche.

The CEC's platform has a variety of planks. Some, such as "the establishment of a National Bank and State Banks to provide loans at 2% or less to agriculture (family farms), industry and for infrastructure development" are traditional policies of the political left in Australia, now abandoned by the Australian Labor Party.^[5] Others, such as "the repeal of all Federal and State anti-union legislation passed over the past several years, beginning with the Federal 1996 Workplace Relations Act," are shared with all parties of the left and centre.^[6] A prominent CEC policy sometimes associated with the right is a zero tolerance criminal law enforcement approach to drug issues. The CEC also aligns itself with global warming skeptics; CEC activists at a recent^[clarify] televised debate used questions from the audience to make statements comparing the theory of anthropogenic global warming to eugenics and Nazism, declaring it to be "Hitler-Nazi race science".^[7] Image File history File linksMetadata Lyndon_LaRouche. ...

The official thirteen-point platform is as follows:^[8]

• The establishment of a "New Bretton Woods International Monetary System".
• The establishment of a National Bank and State Banks.
• The repeal of all federal and state anti-union legislation
• The repeal of recent laws, such as the Australian anti-terrorism legislation, 2004, which the CEC believes have "taken away the civil rights of Australians"
• An immediate halt to the privatisation of Commonwealth and State assets and regulatory bodies
• An immediate moratorium on foreclosures of family farms
• The immediate elimination of the National Competition Policy
• The elimination of the Goods and Services Tax
• The reassertion of national control over Australia's oil and gas and huge mineral resources
• A "dramatic expansion" of resources to all public health facilities
• A "dramatic upgrading" of federal and state infrastructure
• A "real war on drugs"
• The establishment of "generous immigration quotas"

In its campaign literature, the CEC claims to associate itself with "a tradition" including such Australian figures as the Rev John Dunmore Lang, King O'Malley, William Guthrie Spence, Frank Anstey, Daniel Deniehy, Jack Lang, Ben Chifley and John Curtin. The CEC also seeks to associate itself with a "bygone tradition" of the Australian Labor Party, by which it appears to mean the social democratic and protectionist policies abandoned by the ALP since the late 1970s.^[9] Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

Criticism

The Anti-Defamation Commission of the Australian branch of B'nai B'rith (a body similar to the Anti-Defamation League in the United States) has published a Briefing Paper with details of the CEC's alleged anti-Semitic, anti-gay, anti-Aboriginal and racist underpinnings.^[11] The document cites CEC publications which accuse the CEC's opponents of racism. The CEC in turn has published a detailed response to the ADC's accusations,[1] and described the ADC "as a front for Queen Elizabeth's Privy Council, the ruling body of the British Commonwealth." (The British Privy Council is a purely ceremonial body which no longer has constitutional connection with Australia^[12] or the Commonwealth of Nations.) This allegation, that there is a link between the ADC and the alleged power of the Privy Council, has been attributed to the fact that Sir Zelman Cowen, a former Governor-General of Australia and a member of the Privy Council, is an honorary patron of the ADC.

The party fielded candidates for the Senate and most House of Representatives seats at the 2004 federal election. In some seats it distributed glossy full-colour pamphlets, setting out its views, as well as billboards and television advertising in some areas, suggesting that the party has access to sources of finance greater than its small electoral base would suggest.

Out of the 95 electorates in which they were represented, the CEC came last in 80 electorates.

Between September 2005 and January 2006 The Australian reported upon alleged infiltration by the CEC of the National Civic Council (NCC), claiming the latter organisation's dismissal of its state executives over the Christmas 2005 period was an internal coup. CEC chairman Noelene Isherwood, while denying outright infiltration, was cited by The Australian's reporter Greg Roberts on 17 September 2005 as saying: "We know that a lot of their [i.e. the NCC's] members are supporters of our ideas. That's good to see." It should be noted that writers such as Hilaire Belloc, G. K. Chesterton and other prominent Catholic apologists championed by the NCC's founder B. A. Santamaria are condemned in LaRouchist literature as "pro-Nazi".^[13] The National Civic Council (NCC) is an Australian public policy think tank. ...

At the 2007 federal election, the CEC's previous form continued.

Youth movement

The CEC also includes the Australian LaRouche Youth Movement (ALYM), the Australian branch of the International LaRouche Youth Movement. It was founded in August 2002, and focusses on the economic thought of Lyndon LaRouche and Australia's "republican tradition of figures such as John Curtin and King O'Malley" (neither of whom were in fact republicans).^{[citation needed]} Image File history File links ALYMs first Cadre School File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

King OMalley King OMalley (July 1858 - 20 December 1953), Australian politician, was one of the more colourful characters of the early federal period of Australian political history. ...

The ALYM's responsibilities have included managing the groundwork in Federal campaigns, aiding State Campaign efforts, collecting signatures for petitions and mobilising the public and Parliament against anti-terror laws. Members are often found on the streets of Melbourne, home of the National CEC office.

In October 2003 the members of the ALYM, with the help of some members of the International Youth Movement, organised its first "Cadre School". The ALYM hopes to "organize the youth population of the country and harness the enthusiasm and optimism that they offer." The ALYM works for CEC candidates in election campaigns, distributes LaRouche literature and collects signatures for petitions.

The ALYM claims that its membership grew during the 2004 federal election campaign,^{[citation needed]}) during which they worked for CEC candidates in three election campaigns in the Melbourne region, in Maribyrnong, Calwell and Melbourne Ports, where they went door-to-door handing out copies of the election edition of the New Citizen, which featured articles on the fight for a National Bank in Australia and the founding of the Australian Liberal Party in the 1940s, and explaining the potential of "LaRouche's New Bretton Woods" and the "dirty state of the Australian political scene".
