I was a Teenage Fascist

Having spent six years as a member of various far right groups, David Greason offers an insider's account of these groups and some of their bizarre ideas.

Greason started out on his rightward march following the dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975 by the governor general, John Kerr. What started out as a hobby, collecting political literature, quickly turned him into a fascist. He first joined the League of Rights but moved on to join other groups such as the National Front and National Alliance; later he helped set up National Action. Six months after National Action formed, he quit fascist politics, having become disillusioned with the lies behind the public image.
