International affairs expert Greg Barton writes, "neo-Nazi groups in Australia might be small in absolute numbers but they are well integrated into global
networks .. every act of angry provocation and confrontation is recorded, packaged and framed, for outsized impact within North American networks .. this international feedback loop means neo-Nazi networks in Australia are resilient and energised .. there is a leakage between hard-line white supremacists and mainstream politicians .. we can’t afford to take the values of liberal democracy for granted."
