Neo-Nazi group White Australia officially banned
The neo-Nazi group White Australia, formerly known as the National Socialist Network, has been officially banned under new federal laws that came into effect overnight. Members of the group, known for public demonstrations with Nazi symbols and anti-Semitic banners including rallies outside New South Wales Parliament, now face criminal charges with penalties up to 15 years in prison for supporting, funding, training, recruiting, joining or directing the organisation. This is the second group outlawed under the federal legislation following Hizbut Tahrir, signalling increased action against violent extremism after the Bondi Beach terror attack.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
