In the midst of a blistering Californian summer, Dallas Humber expressed her discontent regarding the failure of an Australian individual whom she labeled a “would-be saint.” She claimed that this person had been willing to execute a mass casualty attack, but ultimately did not follow through. Her message, a chilling call to arms directed at her Neo-Nazi supporters, echoed a sense of pain over recent events in Australia. Just days before Humber’s remarks, Australian authorities had arrested a man on terror-related charges, with indications that he may have ties to Humber’s extremist group, known as Terrorgram. The extent of his involvement is yet to be clarified in legal proceedings. Australian Neo-Nazis have drawn inspiration from international organizations classified as terrorist entities, particularly from the UK’s National Action, a group that has been formally banned in Australia. An ABC investigation uncovered communications indicating that members of Australian white supremacist factions have engaged directly with these overseas groups, sharing tactics and operational strategies. Despite the evident links, no domestic far-right group in Australia has faced formal sanctions as of yet. The National Socialist Network (NSN), the largest Neo-Nazi organization in Australia, is attempting to reframe itself as a legitimate political movement advocating for fringe views on race and immigration. Over the past weekend, their members actively participated in several anti-immigration rallies, an action that has raised alarms among multicultural organizations, many of whom are now calling for the group’s prohibition. In Melbourne, during one such rally, allegations surfaced of NSN members committing acts of violence before they crossed paths with an Indigenous protest camp, resulting in injuries to four individuals. (…) The NSN, led by figures such as Thomas Sewell and Jacob Hersant, has roots tracing back to the now-defunct Neo-Nazi forum Iron March, which has been linked to the formation of other extremist groups such as Atomwaffen Division and Sonnenkrieg Division. Despite declaring Terrorgram a terrorist organization, the federal government recognizes its foundational ties to Iron March. A 2019 leak of private discussions from this forum provided unprecedented insight into the connections established among Australian Neo-Nazis and their overseas counterparts, solidifying the foundation of today’s far-right movement in Australia. In private messages, members of Antipodean Resistance—a group inspired heavily by National Action—expressed ambitions to create an Australian equivalent of their UK counterparts. This aspiration has manifested in direct communications with known figures from banned extremist factions, illustrating the extent of international collaboration among these groups.

(…) An ABC investigation has uncovered direct dealings between members of Australian white supremacist groups and those overseas groups, including discussions about emulating their structures and activities. Yet no Australian-based far-right group has ever been sanctioned. It comes as the nation’s largest Neo-Nazi group — the National Socialist Network (NSN) — strives to position itself as a political movement for Australians with fringe views on race, identity and immigration. The group has become increasingly emboldened, with members speaking at several anti-immigration rallies around Australia last weekend. (…) The NSN is led by Thomas Sewell and Jacob Hersant, and was preceded by several far-right extremist groups, including Antipodean Resistance. Those groups emerged from the forums of the now-defunct Neo-Nazi website Iron March.
