Money shot quote: PLO TELLS YUGOSLAVIA - well choose our friends, Left wing Croats ! LEFT ON LEFT & Radical Croat Chic - In the 1980s a splinter group, HDP, from the mainstream Croatian nationalist movement emerged, moving to the left and aligning itself with progressive forces such as Australian Trotskist groups such as the Socialist Workers Party... but also agitating for Croatian independence from Socialist Yugoslavia. In the ASIO file of ex Federal MP Lewis Bata Kent, Kent, a hardcore leftist himself and supporter of Titos Yugoislavia, was determined to destroy this group...HDP and its links with the Australian Left. It also undermines the stereotype of all Croatian nationalists being labelled as right wing Ustashas, as was being pushed by Socialist Yugoslavia at the time. Radical Croat Chic & George Seitz In 1982, The HDP organised a dinner-dance and invited a representative from the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), Anton Shaer, and the Irish Republican Movement, Barry Hughes to give a talk. Also present was the ALP MP for the state seat of Keilor, Australian-Croat, George Seitz. The event was reported in the local Croatian newspaper, Hrvatski Tjednik and a copy sent to PLO Heaquarters in Damascus, Syria. On finding out, Yugoslavia, a long time supporter of the PLO, protested. The money shot quote: PLO will choose its friends. ASIO took this development very seriously...the Croats playing the leftist card.
