EXTRACT: My friends, we made this country. And we're not about to be bullied by foreign interests who are no different to those bikies. I'm talking about the multinationals. I'm talking about the foreign-owned banks. And I'm talking about every Asian, Moslem and Hottentot who come here and refuse to sign up to the Australian Way of Life. There are women who come to this country who are not prepared to show their faces. Well I say, 'Don't show your face around here'.
