Why neo-Nazis rallied in a country town


Listen Later

When masked neo-Nazis turned up in a small New South Wales town to hold a rally on the weekend it shocked the locals.

The men, part of a white supremacist group, were not from the area. So, why were they there?

Today, extremism researcher Kaz Ross discusses how we should respond to the growing white supremacist movement in Australia. 

Kaz Ross explains that the neo-Nazi group, the National Socialist Network, aims to intimidate and gain publicity through such rallies. 

She says the group’s tactics include the use of provocative banners and chants to incite fear and media attention. 

She warns that the movement is growing and poses a significant threat to social cohesion.
