The white supremacist group The World
Church of the Creator (WCOTC) is making headlines in Queensland again,
this time as one of the groups most likely to be hit by tough new
racial vilification laws due to be introduced next month.
Both the World Church of the Creator
and
the Ku Klux Klan have been under police investigation in Queensland and
NSW over the past eight weeks following two racially motivated
incidents.
In Rockhampton the WCOTC was being
investigated after the Palmtree Wutaru Aboriginal Land Corporation was
plastered with WCOTC stickers bearing messages such as 'White Race
Awake'.
Rockhampton police questioned two
self-confessed local members, Shaun Simmonds and 28 year-old computer
student Michael Ireland.
In Casino, NSW, a man dressed in a KKK
costume and allegedly threatened Aborigines with a baton is due to
appear in court next month.
Police have also been made aware of a
group in Mackay called Australian United Skinheads.
