You may have heard of the August 31 ‘March for Australia’ which was gaining popularity with anti-lockdown and nationalist groups. Then neo-Nazis claimed they had organised it. A counter protest has been organised and it is all a bit of a mess for media outlets to report on, mostly because it populises it, but also, we haven’t all been trained in how to handle the rise of fascism and neo-Nazis in the mainstream (with a few exceptions – Cam Wilson and Ariel Bogle are both very good on this)

The 7am podcast have looked at the issue more widely, speaking to Arrernte writer and Crikey contributor Celeste Liddle about Australia’s white nationalist past,” and how in failing to reckon with it we’ve set the stage for the movement to grow.”
