In this article we expose 21 year old Nathan Bull, a prominent member of National Socialist Network in Melbourne and the son of a Victorian Police officer.
Nathan Bull’s dad shared that he was proud of his son last year, posting a photo of him in a Runic Storm (Ukrainian neo-Nazi merch store) t-shirt featuring a Black Sun and a Reichsadler.
Nathan Bull has a prominent vegvísir tattoo that he displays in group photos with National Socialist Network in Melbourne. The vegvísir is an Icelandic magical stave but many Australian neo-Nazis have adopted this symbol for their tattoos.
He was present on the night that he and other drunk members of NSN left an Irish pub they extorted, to racially abuse people and start a fight they couldn’t finish. This ended in NSN leader Jimeone Roberts being bottled and in a coma for three weeks. theage.com.au/national/victo…
Nathan Bull also went to court to support Thomas Sewell during his trial for bashing a Channel 9 security guard. This is extremely bold behaviour for the son of a Victorian police officer and to us demonstrates the extent of his radicalisation into extremism.
Nathan and his friend, fellow NSN member “Mickle” have been attempting to intimidate people on the streets of Melbourne recently, including this pathetic display at the @CUDLMelbourne street kitchen.
We’ve also had reports and seen video of them roaming the Melbourne CBD on weekends, screaming homophobic abuse at people and ranting about the Bible and “degeneracy” while shirtless and high on drugs.
We’ve seen Mickle before, as a young Christian fundamentalist who was later radicalised into the National Socialist Network via “freedom” rallies in Melbourne.
Mickle, whose real name is possibly Michael Nelson, wasn’t always a Nazi (but he was always an extremely strange young man).
“Mickle” (real name is possibly Michael Nelson) is a disturbed young neo-Nazi and budding religious extremist who behaves very strangely on public transport, often meowing or screeching.
Can anyone confirm for us that “Mickle’s” real name is Michael Nelson, or do you know him by another name? DM us or e-mail us tips thewhiterosesociety@protonmail.com
Mickle appears to already be known to the police, in this TikTok video posted last year on his “autisticincel” account.
Nathan Bull is at the Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull/Posie Parker transphobe and TERF hate speech event in Melbourne this morning, with National Socialist Network
Nathan Bull is no stranger to public displays of hate and intimidation like the Posie Parker event. Here he is at the Adelaide Holocaust Museum last year while visiting his comrades in Adelaide (many of whom are currently facing terrorism charges).

PROUD BOY Ben Shand "Dusty Bogan" attended the @AustralianLabor "True Believers dinner" in Brisbane for an audience with @AlboMP last night. He's an antisemite and an Islamophobe. He's not even a voter. How'd he get an invite?
Here's Ben Shand replying to a neo-Nazi with an antisemitic conspiracy theory about Jews smelling like sulphur, after interviewing Christian Zionist Mark Leach, a friend of Israel. Shand recently attended a "Never Again Is Now" rally organised by Leach.
Ben Shand referred to the attendees of this rally, Jewish and Christian Zionists, in a video titled "Circumcised Boomer Brain" published on Gavin McIness' Censored TV platform.
✍️THREAD: We worked with @jason_a_w to expose the man behind the Shirion Collective as Daniel Linden, variously of Florida and Colombia. theguardian.com/world/article/…
Shout out to @BriacLao, who archived several of Linden's opsec errors before he could delete them and brought the ID to us. It was a pleasure to collaborate with them and help get their work published.
@ShirionOrg's big claim to fame is that it had created an "AI" that would identify people and interfere in their lives. This AI is a complete fantasy. Linden often used technobabble when describing it to give it a veneer of realism.
This is an event to sell stolen land in Palestine. These events are held at synagogues deliberately to frame any protest as an antisemitic provocation. Violent Zionists at the event threatened to rape and behead our comrade, journalist @Katerqburns.
You can read Kate Burns' thread for Left Coast Right Watch on the event and counter-protest here:
Drew Pavlou never fact-checks; he posts whatever daily narrative he's given to fill his quota.
"Attorney-General Dreyfus signalled new anti-doxxing laws will be aimed at criminalising the disclosure of a broad range of personal information for malicious intent...activists and others could face jail for leaking private details without consent." theage.com.au/politics/feder…
The law "using a carriage service to menace, harass, or cause offence" is already incredibly broad, they just aren't used! Victims of doxxing who don't have money or power go to the police and nothing is done, even when the perpetrator is known.
Let's not forget about ACT Police "accidentally" providing Brittany Higgins's phone data to Bruce Lehrmann's lawyers. Her texts were then leaked to the media and published. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
In January we worked with Mike Hohnen, @BenHillier16 and antifascists around Australia to cancel the tour of fascist and Nazi Black Metal bands Taake and Akhlys. theguardian.com/music/2023/jan…
We contributed some research and writing to this excellent article by @BenHillier16 in Blunt Magazine on the Taake and Akhlys tour and the importance of denying the stage to bands like this in the metal scene. bluntmag.com.au/music/why-are-…
This is well worth watching — MyPlace are a sinister sovereign citizen group threatening local councils. Their leader, Darren Bergwerf is a Holocaust denier.
Tweets last night calling this “platforming” were wrong. Twitter doesn’t always need you to post a take in real time. Watch and reflect. ABC audience is exactly who needs to know about groups like this, and it was carefully done. Holocaust denial was confronted, not amplified.
Inevitably there will be an incident involving violence or weapons linked to MyPlace, as we’ve seen with other sovereign citizen groups over the last few years. Better to start educating and warning now as they grow in size.
