John Fischer (politician)

[1] In his inaugural speech, he criticised the privatisation of the Commonwealth Bank ASX: CBA, suggesting it encouraged its Board Directors to close down local branches in small towns across Western Australia to increase profit, leading to the dismantling of those towns.

[2] He also criticised the privatisation of Telstra (ASX: TLS), suggesting its Board Directors would decrease its coverage in rural Western Australia and thus making life in small towns more difficult.

[2] Additionally, he criticised the United Nations and the High Court of Australia for implementing international treaties and covenants with no say from the Western Australian population.

Fischer, unlike Embry and Hough, did not join the New Country Party and was defeated as an independent in 2005.

He has subsequently contested elections affiliated with Graeme Campbell, a former Labor MP and founder of the Australia First Party.
