We supported Michael McGowan and Sherryn Groch on this exposé of the criminal underbelly of the National Socialist Network. Behind the façade of “regular blokes” with families lie histories of drug trafficking, AVOs, arson and child sexual abuse. www.theage.com.au/politics/nsw...

Jonathan Salter, a former recruit of the National Socialist Network, possessed violent extremist material and multiple “exceptionally serious examples” of child abuse material, including children as young as one being horrifically abused. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

Chris Minns' police force assaulted Muslims at prayer, NSW Police and Minns refused to apologise. This incited even more Islamophobia, now additional violent threats have been made during Ramadan. Sadly predictable and very scary for the community's sense of safety. www.smh.com.au/national/lak...

Liam Alexander Hall is the Perth bomber. This attack is a consequence of the anti-Aboriginal racism incited by The Voice process, which the ALP never confronted, and the racist anti-Voice campaign by Advance Australia and Atlas Network. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

Kind of wild this act of terrorism hasn’t been picked much internationally — a 31-year-old man in Australia threw a homemade bomb into a crowd of Invasion Day protesters (which fortunately didn’t detonate) “and was allegedly motivated by racism, hatred and ‘pro-white’ ideologies”

"The new charge carries a maximum penalty of life behind bars. WA Police Commissioner said the man’s internet history revealed he had ‘self-radicalised’ online, and accessed “pro-white material”." What/who was he radicalised by? What spaces was he in? www.theage.com.au/national/wes...

Neo-Nazi leader Jacob Hersant was sentenced to one month in prison for a Nazi salute. When he participated in a violent group attack on hikers, including assault and armed robbery, he got 200 hours of community service. www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

In a historic joint action, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), the Jewish Council of Australia, and the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC), have lodged a formal legal complaint to have Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrested or barred from entering Australia.

What took so long to classify the Invasion Day bombing attempt as a “potential terrorist act”?

The coverage and response from the commentariat and our political leadership to the pipe bomb attack at the Invasion Day rally was so muted, that even I didn’t find out about until the next day. But I know about it now and what it says about us a country, so I’ve written about it here for Crikey.

Albanese must lead a strong response to the Boorloo Day of Mourning bomb attack. After the horror at Bondi we saw that leadership on violence and racism is possible with political will. The same urgency is needed on rising threats against First Peoples. My response: nit.com.au/28-01-2026/2...

Man charged with hate speech Brandan Koschel had posted photos alongside Neo-Nazis www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

For our Queensland followers, in the two posts below, is former leader of the National Socialist Network in North QLD, Townsville resident Caelan Schefe.

Sydney NSN member Brandan Koschel, arrested following Monday’s March For Australia rally, was said in court to have “went to the event alone and did not speak with anyone else there.” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

We're interested in IDing these two men who were repeat instigators of violence towards Aboriginal protestors at the Invasion Day march. Please send credible tips to [email protected] if you recognise them.

Michael Lockyer, the organiser of the neo-Nazi March For Australia on the Gold Coast, was NOT bashed by anyone of "Middle Eastern appearance" as he claimed. He started a fight with other white people. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The "March For Australia" rally in Melbourne lacked the size and impact of its predecessors — but the neo-Nazi influence remains.

This is wild. In October 2024, I was able to review chats in almost real time from a Signal group comprised of dozens of Nazis in Europe, the US & Australia. They were calling for coordinated strikes against Jewish institutions, migrant camps, government buildings and other targets on 10/16/24 1/6

📢 They lacked the PA systems and the polished choreography of previous protests, yet the unmistakable echoes of neo-Nazis rang out through the chants and the crowd in Melbourne on Monday. 👉 Latest bot: NZ Transport Agency - Auckland & Northland

That's "former" National Socialist Network member Cameron Cuthbertson in the red jacket, assaulting someone in Melbourne yesterday. He still hasn't been charged over his role in the assault on Camp Sovereignty last August.

Invasion Day in Perth was targeted with a homemade explosive device yesterday. Aboriginal communities are under threat from neo-Nazis, racists and white supremacists. Yet politicians don't write special laws to combat hatred and violence against them. thewest.com.au/news/perth/i...

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

"In other official March for Australia channels and on separate livestreams held with organisers, far-right influencers have called for “bloodletting”, “lynchings” and the “machine-gunning of immigrants”, as the group vows to take Australia back on January 26." www.theage.com.au/national/sec...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The ABC has named Craig Johnson of Launceston, whom we identified as the leader of the National Socialist Network in Tasmania. Johnson is also linked to the Southern Cross Hammerskins and Perth neo-Nazi murderer Robert Edhouse. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The National Socialist Network have been in close contact with at least 30 neo-Nazi extremist and terrorist groups overseas, including travelling to meet and train with them. They serve as a public face for the international neo-Nazi movement. www.theage.com.au/national/a-s...

He attempted to scale the walls of the dock moments after his bail application was refused. Screaming, "This is f***ed" — he made it halfway over the dock's glass partition before he was pulled down by court officers and restrained on the floor. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

All of this and not a single cent of funding towards community based deradicalisation programs, support groups for families of radicalised people, harm reduction, anti-racist and respectful relationships programs in schools etc. State oppression is apparently the only answer.

This article has been updated with an internal message from the NSN leadership, naming Ben Whayman as their leader in QLD. The SA leader Joshua Leverington was previously named in Adelaide media. If you have any tips, email us at [email protected].

I spoke to @tarneen.bsky.social Dr Kaz Ross for their thoughts on why Invasion Day 2026, despite facing a two-pronged threat from the state and parasite nationalists hoping to counter it, is truly worth standing behind. Read in @independentaus.bsky.social: independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...
