The Q Society of Australia Inc. was a far-right, anti-Islam and homophobic organisation that opposed Muslim immigration and the presence of Muslims in Australian society.[1][2] Q Society described itself as "Australia's leading Islam-critical organisation"[3] and stated that its purpose was to fight against the "Islamisation of Australia".[4] The Q Society was so named because it was founded at a meeting in the Melbourne suburb of Kew in 2010.[5]
The president of the Q Society was Debbie Robinson, who was also president of Yellow Vest Australia (which until 9 April 2019 was known as the Australian Liberty Alliance)[6] and an unsuccessful Senate candidate for the party for Western Australia at the 2019 Australian federal election. She has been described as Australia's most established and high profile member of the counter-jihad movement.[7]
On 13 February 2020, the Q Society stated that it would deregister itself due to a considerable lack of financial support, being unable to cover basic administration costs, effective from 30 June 2020.[8][9]
