Australians willing to fork out almost $1000 can swill champagne and share a gourmet dinner with notorious British far-right activist and anti-Islam agitator Tommy Robinson, on his Deplorables speaking tour of the country.

The steeply priced private dinner tickets are just one of several packages offered on Robinson's secretive and potentially lucrative tour of Australia's major cities, where the location of each venue won't be revealed until hours before the show because of security concerns.

An online petition started by anti-fascist campaigners in Australia lobbying the federal government to deny Robinson a visa to Australia has so far amassed more than 50,000 signatures.

Robinson, founder of far-right group the English Defence League (EDL), has claimed his largest base of global supporters outside of the UK live in Australia.

The 35-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has recently become more widely known outside Britain, where he has a reputation for violence and anti-Islam rhetoric.

Robinson drew global headlines and attention earlier this year following a highly publicised contempt of court charge he was hit with during an explosive paedophile ring court case in England's north.

In a recent video published by Robinson, he can be seen opening boxes and "thousands" of letters purportedly sent to him by supporters.

The clip then cuts to Robinson in a brightly lit room staring into the camera, saying: "I want to say a massive thank you to the people of Australia."

"During my time in prison, outside of my home country, the majority of emails and letters and support… come from Australia."

Robinson then warns that Great Britain is heading down a path of "death, destruction and terror", and that freedom of speech in the UK has been curtailed by politicians.

"All of this is on its way to your country," cautions Robinson. "You need to prepare yourselves."

What remains to be seen is whether Robinson and his speaking partner, Gavin McInnes, founder of alt-right group Proud Boys, will be granted visas to enter Australia and carry out their tour, named The Deplorables .

Like Robinson, McInnes is a controversial figure, accused by his critics of inciting violence and hate.

McInnes was a co-founder of media group Vice, and in 2016 he established Proud Boys, a men's only group which promotes political violence. Proud Boys has chapters in the US, Canada, UK and Australia.

In various online videos, McInnes can be heard explicitly encouraging people to beat and choke anti-Trump supporters.

McInnes' bio on The Deplorables website describes him as "funny as he is controversial… famous for his use of humour and satire to lampoon the excesses of political correctness."

Nine.com.au has sighted a letter sent by Labor's immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann urging the government to deny McInnes an entry visa to Australia.

"Gavin McInnes has repeatedly and publicly advocated for violence against women and has pledged to 'assassinate' his enemies," the letter states.

When contacted by nine.com.au , a Department of Home Affairs spokesperson said they would not comment on the individual cases of McInnes and Robinson.

"All visitors to Australia are expected to obey Australian laws and satisfy the character requirements of the Migration Act," the spokesperson said.

"For visitors who may hold controversial views, any risk they may pose will be balanced against Australia's well-established freedom of speech and freedom of beliefs."

Robinson had planned to make a speaking appearance in Washington this week, but he was not granted a US visa in time to make the trip.

Dozens of British lawmakers had written to the US secretary of state, requesting Robinson be denied a visa, The Guardian reported. The signatories expressed concern Robinson would use his US visa to launch a fundraising tour where some estimated he would rake in $1.7 million.

Last week online payment platform Paypal announced it was banning Robinson from using its services.

"We do not allow PayPal services to be used to promote hate, violence, or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory," the company said in a statement.

Robinson responded by saying it was another example of attempts to silence him by the state and the establishment.

Originally scheduled for early November, McInnes' speaking tour of Australia was pushed back to December. It was then announced that Robinson would be joining him.

There are five dates listed for the tour by McInnes and Robinson, with each venue only made public 24 hours before doors opening.
