A neo-Nazi group, whose followers use encrypted messaging to share hate-fuelled posts online, is calling for a “white revolution” in Melbourne and has been branded a “clear and present” danger to the community.
A neo-Nazi group vowing to impose a “white revolution” and “destroy” the government is operating in Melbourne.
The National Socialist Network — whose followers have posed across the city wearing face masks and giving the Hitler salute — has been branded a “clear and present” danger to the community.
It’s understood the far-Right outfit emerged only this year.
Victoria Police would not comment about the group specifically, saying only that it was monitoring extremist activities.
The Sunday Herald Sun has learned NS Network’s followers are using encrypted messaging service Telegram to communicate and share hate-fuelled posts online.
They include threats to leave calling cards with the words “Australian white man” to any house displaying an Aboriginal or gay pride rainbow flag.
“We must put in the work now so that one day, we can take our land back from the scum that is occupying and destroying it,” reads one rant.
Another member posted: “What we seek is the complete changing of the trajectory of Australia. We don’t care in what way this is achieved. Power must be taken away from our enemies and put into our hands. What we seek is a revolution.”
Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dr Dvir Abramovich said the group and those like it were a “ticking time bomb”.
