Australian defence force says ‘no place’ for extremists despite member’s link to neo-Nazi group | Far right
The Australian defense force says that one of the members who have been in service for more than eight months after the police have participated in the meeting of the National Socialist Network, a Neo-Nazi group, has no “place için for the providers.
Separately, the 25 -year -old Sydney man was alleged to have violent pro -extremist and child abuse material after being arrested in Holsworthy in August. Next month he will meet the court again.
The Australian Federal Police accused the man after receiving an intelligence he attended at a NSN meeting in Marsfield, north of Sydney at the end of 2024.
The images of the meeting, which is seen by Guardian Australia, show about a dozen men covered in black exercise clothes in a public park. It is believed that they are conducting a “education” session.

AFP said in a statement, “More investigations, the man showed that the illegal material may have.” He said.
“In February, April and August 2025, search orders were carried out in various places. The seized goods included mobile phones that contain violent pro -excessive and child abuse materials.
“It is claimed that the man is a member of a few online chat groups where illegal material is discussed and spread.”
A number was accused of having severe pro -excessive materials and a child abuse material.
He is believed to remain as ADF member, but when they realize that the defense will not confirm it or that NSN is a partner.
An ADF spokesman said, “There is no inconsistent place in defense or defense values in defense,” he said.
“Defense has zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior.”
In contrast to a military justice system of a member of the defense, management and disciplinary processes may occur in cases where a defense member is accused or convicted of a civilian crime. ADF does not comment on whether the man is already subject to such a process.
ADF also did not comment on whether the state and federal law enforcement officers and intelligence bodies were suspected of participating in groups such as NSN.
In 2021, a new ASIO framework was developed to share information with armed services on pro -extreme connections.
ADF also refused to comment on whether the employees have followed their possible participation with these groups and how they trained their members about the risk of far -right groups.
Last year, Guardian Australia announced that there are at least 16 investigations to defense personnel allegedly interacting with extremism or superiority since 2022.
In October 2021, the ADF tightened the veterinary procedures to prevent nationalist and racist violence supporters from participating in the participation of former personnel with local white superior groups.
In his annual report, ASIO warned that “some nationalist and racist violence supporters are trying to join the Australian Defense Forces to achieve education and ability”.
