National Socialist Network: Forestville targeted by ‘Neo-Nazis’ in racist sticker campaign

Racist stickers promoting a white supremacist neo-Nazi group have emerged on the northern beaches leading to outrage from residents.

Alarming marketing material for a notorious far right white supremacist organisation has started appearing on the northern beaches.

Concerned residents in Forestville and Killarney Heights have been removing a trail of stickers promoting the National Socialist Network, an extremist group that advocates for a “White Australia”.

Locals have discovered the colourful stickers from the Melbourne-based neo-Nazi organisation, with the slogan “Australia for the White Man”, on power poles in residential streets.

A female resident told a community Facebook page that she removed two stickers, at different times, from the bus shelter next to the children’s playground in Cook St at Forestville.

A sticker has also turned up at the Poppy Park playground and public barbecue area at the Forestville War Memorial Playing Fields.

Resident Don Matthews, who found a sticker on a power pole near his home on Sunday evening, alerted the community through Facebook.

Mr Matthews told the Manly Daily he wanted to bring the presence of the group’s racist material to the notice of his neighbours.

“On one hand I think the community needs to know that this repulsive material is in the community,” he said.
“But on the other hand does that give the group more publicity than it deserves?”
