The League strongly denies that a Holocaust occurred during World War II in which millions of people, particularly European Jews were killed, and is strongly supportive of the polemicist David Irving. They believe that the world is run by a secret society of Jews. The League is distinctive for asserting that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a genuine Jewish document (the Encyclopædia Britannica for example describes the Protocols as a "fraudulent document that served as a pretext and rationale for anti-Semitism in the early 20th century").

In the 1970s and early 1980s, the League attempted to gain control of the National Party of Australia by getting people to join the National Party in sufficient numbers to outvote non-League members. (This tactic is sometimes called entryism). Doug Anthony led an effort to defend the Party from the League by recruiting people who would vote against the League. After a multi-year struggle, the existing leadership prevailed. A surprising consequence of this struggle was that the National Party, which got far fewer votes than either the Labor or Liberal parties, had more members. This fact became much more widely known than the reason for it, because both sides kept the struggle out of the media. The National Party of Australia is an Australian political party. ...
