Several people are facing charges of importing or possessing neo-Nazi material and symbols after a wave of arrests made by the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

In the most serious case, importing 160 publications containing “disturbing” and violent anti-Semitic material and distributing banned videos related to the 2019 Christchurch mosque mass shooting in New Zealand means a 21-year-old Australian man will remain behind bars awaiting trial.
