Australia PM condemns neo-Nazis after arrest of ‘disguised’ group

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned on Saturday domestic neo-Nazi activity after a black-clad group was arrested on the country’s national day, which saw rallies in support of its Indigenous people.
Police said late on Friday, a holiday known as Australia Day, that they arrested six people and issued 55 others with infringement notices for offensive behaviour at a train station in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales state.
The group was “heavily disguised”, police said.
“I was horrified,” Albanese told reporters in the town of Orange, about 203 kilometres from Sydney, when asked about the group on Saturday.
“I don’t want to see people in balaclavas dressed in black from head to toe, who are engaged in neo-Nazi activity in this country,”
Such activity “is rightly being condemned by all decent people,” he said, adding that Australia had seen a rise in neo-Nazism.
