Its policies included the deportation of Asylum Seekers and the termination of Aboriginal Native Title . For this reason, National Action was alleged to be Racist and Xenophobic . National Action also espoused theories that a New World Order is taking over the world and must be stopped. They were accused of being a Neo-nazi party as its "chairman" James Saleam Ph.D. was a member of the Australian Nazi party in the 1970s. National Action claimed, however, that it was a " National Bolshevik " party. Saleam claimed that the party was led collectively. National Action was a fringe group that never obtained a popular following for a number of possible reasons:
Saleam was imprisoned in 1991 for the plot against Funde. In the mid- 1990s , the success of the right wing One Nation Party led many National Action members to join One Nation to promote a broad far-right, anti-immigration agenda within the party. The subsequent implosion of One Nation (which was partially due to Saleam's machinations to take over One Nation) stymied this plan. In recent years, attempts have been made to resurrect the party by Michael Brander , a rival of Saleam. These plans have had little impact due to the loss of Dr. Saleam's credibility amongst ex-members and other "racial-nationalists", many of whom had been attacked physically or slandered by Saleam. Saleam is often said by rivals on the racial right to be of part Lebanese origin, an allegation which he has refuted on many occasions. National Action co-founder David Greason's book, ''I was a Teenage Fascist'', tells of his time within the Australian neo-Nazi movement and the events behind the founding of National Action.
