The enabling of neo-Nazis

Last weekend, neo-Nazis gathered outside NSW parliament. Organisers had registered the protest with police – and nothing was done to stop it going ahead. When two female politicians spoke out against the fascists who gathered, they were targeted with threats of violence and death. The premier has said there will be an investigation into how this was allowed to happen. But this protest is not isolated. Neo-Nazis have been gathering in cities and towns in recent months, marching through the streets and terrorising communities. Back in September, they marched from an anti-immigration rally and descended on Camp Sovereignty – a sacred place for First Nations people in the heart of Melbourne. They attacked and hospitalised people who were gathered there.  Today, writer and 7am host Daniel James – on what happened at Camp Sovereignty and the continued enabling of neo-nazi-violence.
