Vile oily rag of a man. Australia has a large problem with Nazis, they're not hugely widespread but they're extremely bold and violent.

Unfortunately half of Parliament is highly sympathetic to them and if there's anything your average Aussie hates more than a Nazi it's any sort of leftist organising.

Prominent members of Australia's neo-Nazi network have also launched a series of targeted harassment campaigns at police officers.

Sewell said on a livestream that his followers had identified a Victoria police officer who, in recent demonstrations, attempted to remove a mask from a neo-Nazi protester.

He boasted that he had uncovered personal information on the officer, saying members of his group had saved wedding photos and images of the officer's family.

They may be adept at skirting the edges of the law, and staying out of prison. But there is no collusion with police. Quite the opposite, in fact. These guys will be under close scrutiny from police, and they in-turn are trying to doxx the police officers who they are at-odds with.

The cops necessarily lean fash mate. Yeah not all, but they're statistically a hell of a lot more sympathetic to nazis than like unions or students.
