Last month, Neil Henry Smith, who ran as a self-proclaimed "racist" in recent state and federal elections,

said he would form his own political party Pauline's One Nation White Australia Party.

His party's main platform is a "100 years moratorium on coloured immigration" to ease problems caused by

overpopulation. Monash University's Centre for Population and Urban Research director, Bob Birrell, said a slowdown in migration movement would help ease demand for water and other resources, but to link it to a 'white Australia' policy was "immoral and impossible". "The point about migration is legitimate but not based on colour. It's a real pity that this kind of advocacy gets wrapped up in an extraneous issue."

Mr Smith said he formed the party to get him "some billing in the next election".

One Nation state secretary Pat Loy said the party would fight against Mr Smith registering the proposed party name. "He is still bringing us into disrepute. We will have to take legal action if he doesn't stop. It's harmful to us and it's harmful to Pauline [Hanson]."

A spokesman for the Australian Electoral Commission said its jurisdiction came into play once a party attempted to register.

One Nation founder Pauline Hanson did not respond to the Journal before publication.
