AS thousands of election workers await payment from No Land Tax party leader Peter Jones, the ex-union official is planning an appeal in the District Court over a $500 fine for disobeying a No Stopping sign.

Mr Jones will contest the sentence handed down in Mount Druitt local court on February 13.

He pleaded not guilty on that date and will challenge the magistrate’s decision, on “an important piece of law”, in Parramatta District court next Friday.

Mr Jones will also appear in Parramatta local court on Tuesday when Communications, Electrical, and Plumbing Union secretary Jim Metcher will apply for an AVO against Mr Jones over a series of profane text messages.

The revelations come as a huge taskforce of people recruited by Mr Jones to work for the No Land Tax party at the ill-fated state election on Saturday remains out of pocket.

Mr Jones, who once spent time in a psychiatric ward, has apologised for not paying them yet but blamed the delay on 2GB broadcaster Ray Hadley.

A number of workers have appealed to the Fair Work Ombudsman in the hope of retrieving wages owed to them — estimated to total $1 million.

When contacted for comment yesterday, Peter Jones declared an “Islamic State-style war” against Ray Hadley, the Liberal Party and News Corp Australia following his party’s disappointing polling at the NSW state election.

Mr Jones managed roughly 1.75 per cent of the upper house vote — about a third of the return needed to land a seat in the Legislative Council.

Still bitter after his heavy loss, and planning a legal challenge to the election result, Mr Jones last night made the bizarre confession that he was inspired by Middle Eastern jihadi murderers to seek revenge on his political rivals.

He suggested The Daily Telegraph superimpose his face on terrorist Jihad John’s with News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch depicted “in an orange jumpsuit” next to him on his knees.

“I’m going to behead Rupert Murdoch metaphorically,” Mr Jones told The Daily Telegraph.

“We’re coming after you, we’re going to destroy News Ltd. We’re going to bankrupt you.”

Mr Jones, who once spent time in a psychiatric hospital, managed to garner nearly 67,000 votes in Saturday’s election, making the No Land Tax party the sixth most popular in the state.

His party was helped by gaining the prominent “Group A” position on the Upper House ballot paper.

Following revelations of electoral fraud uncovered by The Daily Telegraph and 2GB’s Ray Hadley, Mr Jones this week turned his attention to attacking his critics.

He called Mr Hadley a “f...ing arsehole” but reserved his most extreme rhetoric for News Corp Australia, publisher of The Daily Telegraph.

“I am going to wage an unholy Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Islamic State-style war against (News Corp),” he said.

“A one-man Islamic State-style war.”

Asked if it was appropriate to draw inspiration from an extremist death cult, Mr Jones said ISIS’s influence on him was a “metaphorical” one.

“It’s metaphorical inspiration,” he said.

“I think Islamic State are contemptible and evil. Everything I’m going to do to you is legal. I’m not going to kill anyone.”

Mr Jones also described News Corp as an “organised crime syndicate” and “worse than the Mafia”.
