Anti-immigration rallies that have drawn out tens of thousands of Australians in capital cities are being secretly controlled by neo-Nazis â part of a co-ordinated âfraud on the publicâ experts say could become even more violent when they march again next month.
An investigation by this masthead can reveal how neo-Nazi leadership is using far-right influencers to sell the March for Australia rallies as a âspontaneousâ groundswell of âeveryday Australiansâ, while they stack crowds with plain clothes Nazis and send key members interstate to headline rallies. Some neo-Nazis have even donned yellow vests to act as official safety marshals in order to bring marches under the groupâs control.
Leaked chatlogs, recordings and insider accounts tell the full story of how the March for Australia rallies grew out of a mysterious TikTok video in early August and descended into a day of chaos and violence across the country on August 31.
And they lay bare the strategy of Australiaâs most prominent neo-Nazi group, the National Socialist Network, as they move to radicalise the right to their dangerous fascist ideology under the cloak of the Australian flag.

in The AgeNeo-Nazis quietly forming a political party to try to get around the law
in The AgeWhile the National Socialist Network might be âdeluded in thinking they can get a Nazi electedâ, researchers at the White Rose Society say âyou just have to look at the way [some] mainstream conservativesâ have latched onto the Shrine booing stunt, to question Welcome to Country ceremonies, âto get a preview of how a Nazi political campaign will be used to push the Overton windowâ, referring to efforts to bring extreme views into the mainstream.
Far from deflating their party launch, researcher Dr Kaz Ross expects the publicity from the stunt will boost it. âTheyâre eating One Nationâs lunch,â she said. âAnd theyâre growing.â
Australian Nazis treated with kid gloves, pro-Palestine protesters vilified and threatened
in World Socialist Web SiteOn the weekend of October 14-15, the state Labor government in New South Wales threatened to ban a pro-Palestinian protest in Sydney, on the grounds that it could result in incidents of violence and hate crimes. A demonstration opposing the bombardment of Gaza in Melbourne was also met by a massive police presence.
Actual Nazis, walking through Melbourne like stormtroopers and hunting for Jewish people, received a tiny fraction of the negative media coverage that the mass peaceful Palestinian protests did. This glaring disparity only underscores that the official campaign over anti-Semitism is a conscious fraud. The media is cynically using the accusation against people it knows are not hostile to Jews, while largely responding with indifference to those who are actual anti-Semites.
