History
The League was formed in South Australia in 1946. A national organisation was launched in 1960. The League formed off-shoots in the white dominions, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. In 1972 Butler created an umbrella group the Crown Commonwealth League of Rights to represent the four groups; it also served as a chapter of the World Anti-Communist League. It was linked with far right groups in the United States such as the John Birch Society. The first Crown Commonwealth League of Rights conference was held in Melbourne in 1979.
Veritas is the publishing company of the League. The League publishes a weekly newsletter called On Target.
