Shocking details have been revealed in court of a frightening attack on the family home of a social justice activist by neo-Nazi, who holds ideological views of white supremacy.
A neo-Nazi group leader attacked the home of a prominent Black Lives Matter and Aboriginal activist due to his white-supremist ideological beliefs, a court has heard.
Desmond Liddington, 38, was expected to be sentenced on Tuesday but the case was adjourned to next year for the lawyer to prepare further material.
He has pleaded guilty to intimidation and affray over a terrifying incident involving Maxwell Ferrer and a third man at Padaric “Paddy” Gibson’s Arncliffe home on December 4 last year.
Agreed facts tendered to court state Liddington, who lives in Gregory Hills, was the leader of white supremacist group called Firm 22 and holds “extreme right wing political views and believes in a white supremacy ideology”.
Liddington has distinctive tattoos on his body and bald head, including an AK-47 gun with the word RAHOWA which commonly means racial holy war and is a Neo-Nazi concept of a race war.
Police documents state Liddington targeted Mr Gibson because of his political beliefs and activities.
Mr Gibson had previously been in the media for social activism including organising large Black Lives Matter rallies in Sydney in June 2020, along with protests for other Aboriginal causes and trade union issues.
