National Action was a militant Australian white nationalist group founded in 1982 by Jim Saleam, a far-right activist, and David Greason.

[10][11] Saleam had been a member of the short-lived National Socialist Party of Australia as a teenager during the 1970s.

[12] Jim Saleam's criminal convictions include property offenses and fraud in 1984 and being an accessory before the fact in regard to organising a shotgun attack in 1989 on African National Congress representative Eddie Funde.

[11] Saleam later became the New South Wales chairman of the Australia First Party,[11] and stood as its endorsed candidate several times.

The National Action co-founder David Greason's book, I was a Teenage Fascist, tells of Greason's own time within the Australian fascist movement and the events behind the founding of National Action.
