Calls for inquiry into Victoria's far right, with fears fringe groups 'are getting stronger' abc.net.au/news/2021-09-2…

Leaving aside the rest:

'The report by the Legal and Social Affairs Committee was prompted by what Premier Daniel Andrews called a "deficiency in the law" in 2019 when he was powerless to stop a neo-Nazi music festival going ahead.'

In the linked article it's stated:

'The Hammered Music Festival is being advertised online by hate groups Blood & Honour Australia and the Southern Cross Hammerskins.'

However, the 2019 event was not, in fact, 'The Hammered Music Festival', but the annual Ian Stuart Donaldson memorial gig, which has been successfully organised by the same bonehead crews (B&H/SCHS) for literally a quarter of a century.

The 'Festival' was an event in QLD organised for several years by a Hammerskin tattooist named Brad Giles (who last I check had p!ssed off back to KiwiLand); the organisers of the annual MEL event would surely all be known to authorities anyways.

Incidentally, the B&H forum got hacked by online pixies -- & made available to the public via WikiLeaks -- in 2012, in a sneaky move titled 'Operation Blitzkrieg'.

Giles stars as 'tattooed_aryan'.

Until the bodies hit the floor nobody much cares about this stuff, but some may remember that in that year Hammerskin Wade Michael Page slaughtered some Sikhs in Wisconsin. It caused some minor difficulties for the boneheads, but most remained staunch.

Finally, w the "SHOCK! HORROR!" discovery that some in the Croatian community are YUGE fans of the Ustaše, I s'pose it's worth noting that in 2007 the Melbourne Croatia Social Club in Sunshine hosted the annual bonehead shindig.
