The AFP's current leader, Jim Saleam, is a Lebanese Australian, a convicted arsonist, a former member of the National Socialist Party of Australia and founder of the militant Australian white nationalist group National Action. The party has been accused of having ties with fascism and neo-Nazism. In October 2022, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) released a report in which it classified the AFP as a "white nationalist" and "anti-immigrant" group.
