B. A. Santamaria
Bartholomew Augustine Santamaria (14 August 1915 - 25 February 1998), usually known as B.A. Santamaria and also as Bob Santamaria, was an Australian political activist and journalist. A highly divisive figure, with strongly held anti-Communist views, Santamaria inspired great devotion from his followers and intense hatred from his enemies. While he regarded his own career as a failure, and never held public office or joined a political party, Santamaria was the guiding influence of the Democratic Labor Party.
