A far right Christian orientated organisation. It was founded in 1960 by Eric Butler and former members of the New Guard as a firmly anti communist group, establishing itself as the Australian base for the World Anti Communist League. The ALOR official ideology can be defined as old guard right wing positions, denouncing the neo conservative, neo liberal and pro globalisation positions held by the developing conservative movement. It resembles ideologically the American John Birch Society, the Canadian Edmond Burke Society and the British Conservative Monday Club.
The ALOR endorses Social Credit as its prime economic strategy, and stresses the importance of traditional Australian values to remain influential in political life such as Christianity and allegiance to the monarchy. The ALOR hold highly anti Semitic positions, accusing Jews of controlling the media, economy and conjuring the Holocaust, holding revisionist platforms. The ALOR has birthed a host of imitators all over the world, particularly Commonwealth countries including Canada, New Zealand and Britain.
It was known for operating an international network of far right propaganda, active particularly through bookshops operated by the League. Notable texts distributed by the League were Mein Kampf, The International Jew and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, three of the worlds most anti Semitic texts, as well as operating a regular publication called On Target. The group has acted as a frame for far right groups to come in the future. Although largely inactive the organisation still operates a webpage.
