Dr Jim Saleam yesterday confirmed he had no prior knowledge of a leaflet sent to Forest Hill man David Fletcher this week which referred to members of the African community as "African 'refugees' today, gangsters and drug-addled welfare parasites tomorrow."

Despite containing identical contact details, Dr Saleam said the item had not originated from the Australia First Party.

"Judging by the theme of that document it has not been issued by me or our committee," he said.

"It is also unlikely that it has been issued by a local member of the party."

Dr Saleam said he was also aware of similar recent cases in Queensland where unendorsed documentation claiming to be from Australia First had been delivered to homes.

While the individual or individuals responsible may align themselves with the party, Dr Saleam said their actions did not accurately represent his views on residents originally hailing from Africa and even suggested the perpetrator may be deliberately stirring trouble.

"It can happen that some people who think they are doing the right thing and who believe they are representing the views of Australia First create these types of things," he said.

"In most cases it will probably contain some truth and then will contain a lot of hyperbole and purple prose.

"There's another question too, it's not always that these people agree with us, it can be the exact opposite, sometimes people do these things deliberately."

Not afraid of a vigorous discussion, Dr Saleam said he was considering organising a debate between himself and an advocate of Wagga's African refugee population in the coming weeks.

Yesterday morning an individual claiming to be aligned with the party also called The Daily Advertiser and admitted having sent the leaflet to Mr Fletcher but refused to leave a name or contact details.
