Senate candidate Kirralie Smith calls Waleed Aly’s Gold Logie victory ‘ridiculous’

A CANDIDATE for the anti-Islamic Australian Liberty Alliance Party called Waleed Aly’s Gold Logie win ‘ridiculous’ at a campaign launch in Northrbidge.

WALEED Aly’s Gold Logie victory has been labelled “ridiculous” by a NSW senate candidate.

Australian Liberty Alliance Party NSW senate candidate Kirralie Smith said the win was representative of a “very closed industry” and challenged the co-host of The Project to have a serious debate about radical Islamic people who had emigrated to Australia.

“I issued an invitation to Waleed last year to have a debate about these issues and he has ignored it,” Ms Smith said.

“Hundreds of thousands of people have acknowledged that on social media and that invitation still stands. It is an open one, it is all over the internet.”

Ms Smith issued the challenge at the launch of Aussie rock’n’roll icon Gary “Angry” Anderson’s NSW senate campaign for the controversial Australian Liberty Alliance at Northbridge Golf Club on Monday.

“I think that in this case where there is integration and not segregation it is a great example isn’t it?” Ms Smith said.

“We are not against any immigration, it is not based on that religious form, we are against ideology. Now, if Waleed Aly was someone who subscribed to the Koran and was preaching versus like: ‘Strike at their necks and put terror into their hearts and cut-off their fingertips,’ we would have a great problem with that. But he is not preaching that is he? He is not preaching from the Koran.

“He actually discredits the Koran, because he does not follow it and does not obey it. We have a problem with ideology. While ever he is not representing a Koran, following Muhammad, the example of Muhammad, following the Koran, then: Fantastic. We do not have a problem with that, we are all for integration and not segregation and upholding western democratic values over and above sharia law.”

A representative from Aly’s management team said he was unavailable for comment, as he was in pre-production for Monday night’s broadcast of The Project.

The ALA which lists as one of its 20 core policies stopping the Islamisation of Australia is proposing a 10-year moratorium on all resident visa applicants from people emigrating from member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation with exceptions for the humanitarian intake of persecuted non-Islamic minorities.

“As we go, obviously, and whatever affect we can have in government, we want to start somewhere and there is a lot of good people excluded from Australia right now that we discriminate against right now,’ Ms Smith said.

“We discriminate already when it comes to immigration and we want to have a very clear definition of that kind of discrimination right here, right now so we can measures in place for the security of this nation and it is very important and is a real concern.

The well known Rose Tattoo frontman said he had joined the conservative party because he does not want to be “weighed down by political correctness”.

The 68-year-old former rocker said the ALA has 20 policies and too often tough issues such as stopping emigration of Muslims to this country was left alone because it was a political sensitive issue.

“I have read history and I do not want history to repeat itself. I believe we do not have policies in place to deal with this issue

“The social experiments have not worked in many places, if at all in the world and what makes us think in this country it will be any different?

“What I would like to see is an open and honest debate about this issue and many others that matter.

A Northbridge Golf Club spokesman said they were unaware the booking was for a political campaign launch but respected the rights of anyone to be able to hold their function at the club.

“Just like any private booking though whether it be for a 21st birthday party or for private meeting people can hire a room for anything like that,” the spokesman said.

“We were originally told it was for a private meeting of 15 to 20 people and we only found out last Friday that it was going to be a political launch but they are entitled to use the room for the purposes they need.”
