Pathfinder Bookshop attacked

SYDNEY — The Pathfinder Bookshop, which shares its office with the Communist League, was vandalised on August 9 by an organisation called White Aryan Resistance.

The front of the shop was scrawled with the slogan: "Execute Asian, Arab and African drug dealers — White Aryan Resistance, fight or die". There had been an attempt to smash the front window.

Ron Poulsen, who is a NSW Senate candidate for the Communist League, stated: "The vandalism of our headquarters was aimed at all those who have taken to the streets in protest against the racist ideas of Pauline Hanson ... Racist attacks will not intimidate my campaign or those protesting against Hanson's One Nation party".
