James Saleam (/ˈseɪləm/; born 18 September 1955) is an Australian far-right extremist[4] and the chairman of the Australia First Party. Saleam has been described as a white nationalist, who has been a strong advocate of barring further immigration to preserve a "self-contained, predominantly white nation resistant to further immigration or watering-down of its culture".[5][6] This is often considered ironic as Saleam is alleged to have mixed Lebanese ancestry.[7] He has been observed wearing a swastika armband and associating with neo-Nazi skinheads.[8]
