A Neo-Nazi collective has become the second group to be effectively outlawed in Australia under anti-hate legislation.

The group, which has gone by a number of names including the European Australia movement, the National Socialist Network and White Australia, has been listed as a prohibited hate group, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced on May 15 after receiving advice from spy agency ASIO.
