A FORMER political candidate for a right wing Australian anti-immigration party has denied she is a Nazi amid claims a “criminal syndicate” has formed a targeted campaign to silence her.

Members in the inner west Sydney community of Newtown were shocked to receive leaflets in the mail this week purporting to have been sent by Tania Rollinson, which invite the public to attend her maiden speech on White Women in the Australian Nazi Movement.

Entry costs were $5 and the speech was to be held at Bexley RSL on Thursday evening.

The community was so enraged by the leaflet they began to fight back on Facebook, complaining to Bexley RSL and the local police.

Bexley RSL manager Greg Edwards told news.com.au there was “no function booked at our club at all tomorrow night, we know nothing about it.”

The RSL was initially notified by police of the impending “speech”, but news.com.au’s attempts to speak with them went unanswered.

But Mrs Rollinson claims she has nothing to do with the leaflet and says it’s all a hoax in an effort to damage her reputation.

“That’s garbage, I have nothing to do with that,” a shocked Mrs Rollinson told news.com.au.

“I have no idea about this, this is the first time I’ve ever heard about it — I can’t believe they stoop so low.”

Ms Rollinson believes those responsible could be members of a “criminal syndicate”, whom she claims previously bugged her house and car because she had “damning evidence” against them.

Mrs Rollinson’s maiden speech was in fact advertised online, but the subject matter revolved around this alleged criminal syndicate.

“I would never be able to make a brochure like that, I can’t believe it. I’m really shocked the lengths people go to. There’s a lot of people trying to silence me.

“I’m not racist, a lot of people know I’m not. I’m not a Nazi either.”

Mrs Rollinson posted the initial invite to her speech on “Criminal behaviour” to Facebook on March 1.

“Mrs Rollinson may have many virtues but I doubt she could give you a lecture on Nazi women, whatever that is supposed to be,” said Australia First Party’s Jim Saleam.

Mr Saleam’s mobile number was also posted on the leaflet alongside Mrs Rollinson’s.

Mr Saleam is a survivor of far right politics in Australia. He has stood in elections since the 1980s, helped start the nationalist party National Action in 1982 and has spent time in jail.

He now runs the Australia First Party out of his home on a busy highway in Tempe, south of Sydney.

“She’s not a controversial person, even the subject matter of her talk, there are some interesting criminal elements in it but having said that I doubt it would be a reason to do this,” Mr Saleam told news.com.au.

Mrs Rollinson ran as a state candidate in the seat of Hawkesbury for the Australia First Party during the 2015 election. At the time she was upset over refugees being given public housing “while our own people are denied basic Australian rights to food and shelter”.

The Australian First Party claims Mrs Rollinson is “defending Australia’s interests”, but a blog, Anti Fascist Sydney, claims she is a “deranged woman within the far right”.

The party’s “eight core policies” include an end to multiculturalism and limiting immigration to white Europeans.

They want to see the White Australia policy reinstated.

“I had the great privilege of being born into that sort of Australia. And I made a personal decision many years ago that my children would die in that sort of Australia,” Dr Saleam said in 2016.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Mrs Rollinson detailed her experience with the unidentified criminal syndicate before the leaflets came to light.

“I will be speaking about my experiences on how I was robbed by a criminal syndicate and what I had that they wanted (damning evidence),” Mrs Rollinson wrote.

“How I the victim was made into the perpetrator. How I fought back against this criminal syndicate. How I went after these people putting together an elaborate plan to catch them and how I drew them back into a dragnet by painting a target on my own back.

“This resulted in an Asian community, Muslims etc and the criminal syndicate and the State watching my every move.”

Mrs Rollinson says her maiden speech on the subject is expected to go ahead.
