connaust Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Community outraged by anti asylum flyers. The Adelaide Hills council is considering legal action to stop a group drumming up community anger over asylum seekers. Mayor Bill Spragg says the Australia First Party is letterboxing homes with a flyer that vilifies asylum seekers and incites people to take action against them. He says it also urges residents near the new Inverbrackie detention centre to shun anyone who expresses support for asylum seekers. Cr Spragg says he has received numerous calls from people outraged by the material. "We have been talking to the locals about their concerns and I believe we were making reasonable progress with that and to have this group come in and try to undo all the good work that's been done is really a big concern," he said. He says it urges local people to shun anyone who embraces the asylum seekers. "Well we're looking at, we're going to seek legal advice to see whether they've breached any laws and if they have we'll take action against them to try to prevent them distributing any more of these flyers," he said.
