AHC: Make Australia a fascist country

Between 1918 and 1939, what could've been done to make Australia, if not fascist, more sympathetic to fascist ideas? Just to clear something up, by fascism, I mean Italian-style fascism, not National Socialism.
 
The New Order comes to mind, but they never had major support. In my timeline I have a nationalist militarist Australia, but not fascist.
 
Some people take a pretty broad view of what "fascism" is. One left-wing historian wrote, apparently with a straight face, "During the 1930s there was no shortage of fascists, neither among the Anglo-Australian community nor immigrant groups. Amidst an embryonic 'fascintern', 'the centre' of politics moved further to the right to incorporate many of the ideas of Eric Campbell's New Guard. By the time of the Cold War's remorseless anti-communism it was well-nigh impossible to distinguish between 'the centre' and 'the right.' It might sound melodramatic to suggest that in 1951 Australian fascism's headquarters were in 'The Lodge,' Canberra, but that is not so very far from the truth. It was not until the 1960s that a schism developed between the Right and the conservative political mainstream. This period also saw the flowering of Australia's most enduring right-wing organisation, the League of Rights..." Andrew Moore, *The Right Road?: A History of Right Wing Politics in Australia,* p. 139.

An irate defender of Menzies replied, "Dr Moore’s analysis is not even good melodrama. Just bad, undocumented history. Menzies did not even encourage Australia’s home-grown Lunar Right and certainly not real fascists. Malcolm Fraser has recorded that, when he was a young Liberal MP in the 1950s, Menzies advised him to have nothing whatsoever to do with the anti-Semite Eric Butler and the Australian League of Rights organisation which Butler headed. To even hint that Menzies’ home was the headquarters of Australian fascism in Australia circa 1951 is total calumny..." https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2008/12/why-menzies-still-matters/
