Eric Campbell (political activist) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Eric Campbell, DSO, VD (11 April 1893 – 2 September 1970) was an Australian army officer and solicitor who was the leader of the far-right organisation, the New Guard in New South Wales. He created the New Guard as a deviation of an existing paramilitary group called the Old Guard. Campbell had grown frustrated with the direction the group was headed in and so he aimed to revive the Old Guard's original ideology within the New Guard. He also aimed to directly oppose Jack Lang's Labour Party in New South Wales and endorsed his fellow Guardsmen to interfere in Lang's public political activities. Campbell was born in Young, New South Wales. He became a solicitor in 1919 and worked in various regions around New South Wales. He was a popular figure among the communities he worked in and was a member of several social clubs in the area. Campbell also had success in his career as a business man and found himself in leading positions in many large Australian companies at the time. In 1924, he joined a paramilitary group, later titled the Old Guard and was given the title of lieutenant-colonel a year later. He created the New Guard in 1931. Support for Campbell's New Guard began to wane after its mission was accomplished with the defeat of Lang in the June 1932 New South Wales state election. Campbell became further involved in politics and publicly announced his running in the next state elections and advocated for fascism in New South Wales. In early 1933, Campbell travelled around Europe and met with politicians from Britain, Germany and Italy, most notably Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists. Later in that same year, Campbell would create the Centre Party in order to manifest his political goals, however, the support for this movement and the New Guard would further decline as many members were against the true fascist nature of the group. Campbell's Centre Party was defeated in the 1935 New South Wales state election and the party itself was shortly disbanded following the loss. Campbell lived the rest of his life in the country in New South Wales after retirement. He continued his interest in politics, becoming the president of the Burrangong Shire Council from 1949 to 1950. He later died in 1970 due to cancer, while living in Canberra. (en)
