A volunteer hailed on stage by Pauline Hanson\u2019s One Nation after the party\u2019s stunning Farrer byelection victory<\/a> was previously condemned by a judge as a \u201cthuggish\u201d bully who used \u201cabsolutely reprehensible racial slurs\u201d during a violent confrontation between rival fishing guides in the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n

Allan Beale, a volunteer who clashed with Liberal senator<\/a> James Paterson at a polling station during the Farrer campaign, also last year shared a post defending police killer Dezi Freeman<\/a> and supported neo-Nazi figure Thomas Sewell<\/a> in a series of social media posts. He was also once accused by his fishing tour customers of being abusive and defecating off the side of a boat.<\/p>\n

One Nation MP-elect David Farley called Beale to the stage to the cheers of the audience during Saturday\u2019s victory speech in Albury, lauding his commitment to the cause, while previously having accused Paterson\u2019s of being a \u201cmongrel dog\u201d for \u201cgoading\u201d him into an altercation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell done mate, well done,\u201d Farley said to Beale. \u201cThat man takes no s— from no sailor.\u201c<\/p>\n

Hanson too had posed for pictures with Beale, and told reporters on the trail she was \u201cstanding by my volunteer in that whole scuffle\u201d, after he was filmed grabbing Paterson\u2019s phone following a confrontation.<\/p>\n

The One Nation leader on Wednesday defended celebrating the Farrer victory alongside Beale and said she was not disappointed to have kept his company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not disappointed at all. He was invited there. He was a volunteer. It was a night of celebration \u2026 and I\u2019m not taking a backward step on that,\u201d Hanson said during Farley\u2019s inaugural press conference at Parliament House.<\/p>\n

Hanson said she did not condone bullying or violence of any kind but refused to comment further, suggesting the media might \u201cput a spin on\u201d the allegations.<\/p>\n

In one Facebook post last September, Beale shared conspiracy material about Freeman<\/a> \u2013 the so-called sovereign citizen who murdered two Victorian police officers last year \u2013 claiming he had been targeted because of his knowledge of constitutional law.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe post shared by Allan Beale about police killer Dezi Freeman.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all to Consider. not just trust MSM (main stream media),\u201d Beale wrote.<\/p>\n

In another post defending Sewell and members of the now-banned National Socialist Network<\/a> last September, Beale wrote: \u201cThese lads are not Neo Nazis they are lads sick of the immigrants gangs that the Police do f\u2013k all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate post, he wrote: \u201cI met a lot of these young guys on the 31st Aug March. Very genuine definitely not Neo Nazis but we\u2019re genially [sic] responsible to ensure freedom marchers were protected from the crappy ProPalestinean abusive arseholes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in my Military Days we would have certainly been a lot more aggressive in ensuring long term injuries were imparted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Beale said \u201cobviously you are not going to listen to the truth of past issues\u201d in a text to this masthead on Wednesday morning, and that he would reply later as he was away from his computer.<\/p>\n

Beale\u2019s history also includes a notorious 2014 confrontation<\/a> on a remote Northern Territory river that ended in court after a dispute between rival fishing charter operators escalated into threats, racial abuse and violence in front of paying customers.<\/p>\n

At the time, the then-55-year-old Darwin-based fishing guide from Barra Base was charged over a confrontation with fellow guide Kaleem \u201cMickey\u201d Qaiser at Shady Camp.<\/p>\n

Although Beale was cleared of assault charges, Magistrate John Neill fined him $6000 for interfering with commercial fishing equipment and delivered a scathing assessment of his behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour actions were self-righteous, aggressive and thuggish bullying acts,\u201d Neill said. \u201cIt puts Mr Beale and his character in the poorest lights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magistrate said there was evidence Beale \u201chad threatened more than once to kill Mr Qaiser\u201d and did say words \u201calong the lines of \u2018you black c—\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe absolutely reprehensible racial slurs are extremely troubling in the context of this matter,\u201d Neill said.<\/p>\n

The confrontation drew wider attention after Beale\u2019s fishing business became embroiled in a separate controversy over negative online reviews from customers.<\/p>\n

Customers alleged Beale \u201cwas abusive … and defecated off the front of the boat\u201d. Beale later posted on the popular travel website defending the claims.<\/p>\n

Beale, who returned to the Albury region in 2017, told The Border Mail last week<\/a> he was motivated to join One Nation after the Convoy to Canberra protest over the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. He said he was disappointed in himself for \u201cgetting suckered in and baited\u201d by Paterson.<\/p>\n
