A Queensland grandmother behind the recently-formed Love Australia or Leave Party says the rival Australian Muslim Party will "segregate" the nation further.
Party founder Kim Vuga, who appeared on the last season of the SBS reality show Go Back To Where You Came From, told Fairfax Media she was proudly "anti-Islam".
"We're already a nation divided. We haven't sorted out the Muslim issue. Our cultures are incompatible and we need to be sorting out the Muslim problem that exists here before we take any more [refugees and Muslim immigrants]," she said 
"I will be interested to see what their policies are but to go ahead and form a party for Muslims is segregating themselves further."
On Monday, Fairfax Media revealed the Australian Muslim Party's intention to field Senate candidates in all states and territories at next year's federal election and also contest upper house seats at state level.

   News of the formation of the Australian Muslim Party swept the ranks of the five anti-Islamic micro parties that say they will contest the upcoming federal election, including Pauline Hanson's One Nation, Australian Liberty Alliance, launched recently by controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders, Rise Up and Nick Folkes' Party for Freedom.
Mr Folkes and Ralf Schumann, secretary of the Australian Liberty Alliance, agreed the Australian Muslim Party had every right to form and even said the party would likely do well in certain outer suburban areas of Sydney and Melbourne.
Mr Schumann said his party was "critical of Islam, not of Muslims".
"There's biology and there's ideology," he said. "It's like saying you hate the Germans because you can't stand the Nazis or you hate the Chinese because you can't stand the Communists. It doesn't make sense," he said.
Mr Schumann said the Australian Muslim Party could give the ALP a scare in NSW state seats like Auburn.
Mr Folkes agreed, saying: "I can definitely see it having some success in western Sydney seats where Labor is strong. I think they are going to give Labor a run for their money."
Mr Folkes' Party for Freedom has a staunch zero Muslim immigration policy and he advocates the "repatriation" of any Muslim dual citizens, refugees and convicted Muslim criminals.
"What's the point of bringing people over here to fill up jails and fill up Centrelink?" he said.
He said politicians like Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull live in "vanilla suburbs" and they should send their kids to school in suburbs like Lakemba in west Sydney before preaching about more immigration or multiculturalism.
The founder of the Australian Muslim Party Diaa Mohamed said Australia's Muslim population represents just 1.6 per cent of the population so any fears about it forcing Sharia law on Australia were a "non-issue"
But Mr Folkes said the proportion of Muslims was "much higher", perhaps 2.5 per cent.
Mr Folkes says he has 400 of the 550 registered members his party needs to stand Senate candidates at the next federal election but the party's priority for the moment was the upcoming 10 year anniversary of the Cronulla riots.
He wants to hold a "memorial service" to mark what he believes is a misunderstood event that has been misrepresented by politicians and the mainstream media.
He has been refused permission to gather on   December 12 and claims he has been threatened with arrest if the service goes ahead. "It's bizarre that someone could be arrested. We don't want to punch on or anything like that," he said.
