James Saleam (, born 18 September 1955) is an Australian far-right activist and the current chairman of the Australia First Party. Saleam co-founded National Action (NA) on Anzac Day, 1982, having been a member of the short-lived National Socialist Party of Australia as a teenager during the 1970s. National Action eventually imploded due to Saleam's criminal actions which included property offences and fraud in 1984〔 and for organising a shotgun attack in 1989 on African National Congress representative Eddie Funde by two NA members. Saleam served jail terms for both crimes. He pleaded not guilty to both charges, claiming that he was set up by police.〔 This claim was rejected by the courts. Saleam maintains his innocence. On his release from prison, Saleam earned a PhD in politics from the University of Sydney by writing a thesis entitled ''The Other Radicalism: An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right Ideology, Politics And Organization 1975-1995''. () Saleam has acted as a mentor for the Patriotic Youth League and was the Secretary of the Sydney branch of the Australia First Party (AFP) between 2002 to 2007. In August 2007, he was expelled from the party by AFP president Diane Teasdale and later established Australia First (NSW) as a separate entity and incorporated the AFP NSW membership into the new party with himself as the party chairman. He is also the co-organiser along with Welf Herfurth, of the Sydney Forum, a right wing conference that is held annually in Sydney. Saleam is divorced with two children and was reported to be self-employed in 2008. Saleam is a white nationalist, and has been a strong advocate of barring further immigration to preserve a "predominantly white nation resistant to... watering-down of its culture".〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Saleam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
