The Victorian government may consider widening anti-vilification laws after a group performed Nazi salutes on the steps of Parliament House
The inquiry was triggered by an investigation byinto white supremacist groups, which unearthed links between extremist groups and Australian Defence Force members, as well as state police forces.The investigation also established the identities of emerging or previously unknown neo-Nazi leaders around the country, some with a keen interest in obtaining firearms and training in their use.
Andrews said the group’s views were vile and represented the worst of Victoria. “I condemn that in the clearest terms.” Victoria Police said at least six groups attended the protest on Saturday, and officers were aware of the potential for multiple clashes between the opposing groups. Both are expected to be charged with assaulting police. A third person was also arrested for unlawful assault.
