Bomb Thrown into Crowd on Australia Day

[Bigfella]

A bomb was thrown into a crowd at a rally in Perth on Monday, Australia Day. Fortunately it did not explode and no one was harmed.

A Perth man has been charged with making an explosive with intent to harm after a home-made bomb was allegedly thrown into a crowd of protesters at an Invasion Day rally in the CBD Monday....

.....
“The device that was located just in front of the stage area contained ball bearings, contained screws, and those items were wrapped around an unknown … liquid in a glass container,” he said.

It did not detonate but WA Police Minister Reece Whitby said the incident could have been disastrous.

“The incident ... had the potential to be a mass casualty event,” he said.

Bomb thrown into crowd in Perth

Some context. Monday was Australia Day, a day marking the formal establishment of the first British colony in Australia....more or less. The history of the evolution of this day into a national day is lengthy & not worth repeating here, but suffice to say that at least since its bicentenary in 1988 it has become increasingly common for indigenous people & those sympathetic to them to protest on what they call 'Invasion Day'. These rallies can be very big - it is estimated there were 17,000 people at the Melbourne one on Monday.

This year the white supremacists behind the 'March For Australia', which held its first event in August last year, decided to stage counter-protests on Australia Day this year. There were a few scuffles where they interacted with 'Invasion Day', but MFA numbers were so low (about 2000 in Melbourne) that they weren't able to repeat the violence in August last year when Neo-Nazis from the rally attacked a group of indigenous people. I'll provide more detail elsewhere, but when I say 'white supremacists' I am not exaggerating. The founders have openly expressed anti-semitic and blatantly racist opinions and allowed known neo-Nazis and their associates to organize and speak at their rallies. While it is not clear that the person who threw this had any links to MFA, there has been a rise in far right violence in recent years, including among some linked to this organization.

I expect this person will be spending some time in jail. If it turns out the device was a viable bomb that the maker expected to work I expect that to be some considerable time. Given that something like 40% of the WA prison population are indigenous I don't imagine this chap's time inside will be very enjoyable.

Some more detail on white supremacist links to the 'March For Australia'.

Last week a story came out about police investigations & arrests of people linked to MFA:

In the hours after the Bondi terror attack, far-right associates of neo-Nazis threatened to kidnap the prime minister and send bombs to mosques through the post, prompting two separate police raids.

This masthead was leaked the apparent threats, including a recording of a man being offered $10,000 to rent a van and kidnap Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, from within an online chat room run by March for Australia organisers and filled with neo-Nazis in the lead-up to Monday’s anti-immigration rallies.

Days after the kidnap plot was discussed online, detectives swooped on a neo-Nazi associate at his Sydney home over a separate social media post, which also allegedly called for Albanese’s abduction.

On the Discord server, promoted by a key March for Australia organiser, posts have become even more extreme. Among the swastikas, racism and rape jokes, pictures of the Christchurch mass murderer Brenton Tarrant are now appearing.

The concrete outcome of having these extremists involved with MFA were on display on Monday. At the various rallies around Australia known neo-Nazis were seen marching and in one case helping to organize...again. People gave Nazi salutes, held signs calling for the release of a neo-Nazi leader currently on remand after being charged with making threats to a Federal MP, and gave hate-filled speeches and more. Perhaps unsurprisingly the leader of the Perth march has expressed .

A man has been charged after he was arrested at a March for Australia anti-immigration rally in Sydney for alleged hate speech, while at a rally in Melbourne police are investigating an incident of racial abuse where a man allegedly performed a Nazi salute.

Similar anti-immigration events have been held across Australia in major cities, with crowds ranging from a few dozen in some cities to hundreds in others.

It is the third round of rallies under the March for Australia banner, with events in August and October last year attracting thousands of people who called for an end to so-called mass immigration.

The Brisbane rally was attended by One Nation politicians Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts and Victorian Independent Senator Ralph Babet.

In Sydney, a 31-year-old man was arrested for alleged hate speech at the March for Australia protest attended by about 2,000 people.

Police Operation Australia Day Commander, Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden, said the comments were allegedly made at an open mic session at Moore Park.

"We will allege the language he used, his presence, was clearly and unequivocally aligned with Neo-Nazi ideology and his presence and language incited response from the crowd generating hate towards a particular group in our community," he said.

He has been charged with publicly inciting hatred on the ground of race causing fear and is due to face court on Tuesday.

Police also removed one attendee from the event after they were identified as members of a Neo-Nazi group.

Several former members of Neo-Nazi group the National Socialist Network (NSN) were spotted at the event — including a member of the North Queensland chapter, who was seen in a yellow marshalling vest, directing where a banner should be held.

Neo-Nazi symbols and slogans were seen on full display during the Sydney rally, with one demonstrator wearing a necklace with the so-called Black Sun on it

Signs supporting jailed Neo-Nazi figure Joel Davis that read "Free Joel Davis" — including one with a printout of his face over an Australian flag — were held by protesters at the front of the march.

A large cohort within the group repeatedly chanted the phrase, as well as "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi" and "send them back" — the latter in reference to migrants.



Mr Davis, 30, has been denied bail three times after allegedly directing followers to "rhetorically rape" Wentworth MP Allegra Spender.

Neo-Nazi presence acknowledged in Sydney​

The ABC spoke to several attendees who listed different reasons for attending the event.

One wanted to promote the spread of Catholicism, one woman said she was worried about "mass immigration" and another man said he was at the event in support of Jewish Australians, tearing up as he talked about antisemitism.

According to ABS data, net overseas migration has declined for seven consecutive quarters since a peak in the year to September 2023.

March for Australia organiser Bec Freedom said she had allowed Neo-Nazis to volunteer as marshals after they had offered to do so — but said they were ejected by police from the event.

"I know not all of you guys like them, I know that. But they're good people who are fighting for our country, they agreed with our cause and they came to help [keep people] safe," she told a crowd at Moore Park.

"Now that group recently disbanded, so that means if any of them are here, they are here as everyday patriots."

The NSN announced it was disbanding in response to proposed new hate speech laws by the federal government.

Some former members had been banned from the event by police, in a move acknowledged by Ms Freedom.

"These men were doing nothing wrong. They were marching with us, keeping an eye out for antifa and infiltrators, which they had found several in our crowd. They told police this but were still told they had to move on," she said.

"They were walked to the train station as if they were irresponsible little children and told they had to leave the city."

At Sydney's rally, protesters later cheered when NSN leader Thomas Sewell was mentioned, and said "heil Australia".

The rally briefly turned aggressive when a couple who booed the protesters while they marched through Surry Hills were rushed and abused by members of the crowd.

The couple took shelter in a nearby pub, which was then blocked off by police, who were quick to dispel the aggression.

Far-right figure speaks at Melbourne rally​

About 2,000 people gathered in Melbourne's CBD as part of a March for Australia event, walking from Flinders Street Station to the steps of parliament.

Many were draped in Australian flags, while others carried signs and banners, chanting "Australia first".

Police lines blockaded alternate routes, keeping the protesters separate from an Invasion Day rally also occurring in the CBD.

Several people gave speeches after the crowd arrived at Parliament House, including Hugo Lennon, a far-right anti-immigration figure who has previously promoted extreme-right and racist materials online.

Before he spoke on the steps of parliament, members of the crowd shouted "Heil Hugo".

Attendees spoke with the ABC and gave varied answers as to why they attended the Melbourne rally.

One man in the crowd attended as a way to protest against the idea of digital ID cards, while a woman attending said she wanted people to respect Australia and to "stop all the hate".

In a statement about the March for Australia and Invasion Day rallies in Melbourne on Monday, Victoria Police said four men racially abused two people before chasing them and smashing their car window — with one of the men performing a Nazi salute during the alleged offending — during an incident in the CBD.

"The offenders fled prior to police arrival. This matter has been allocated to detectives and will be thoroughly investigated," Victoria Police said.

Anti-immigration crowds gather in other cities​

At least 500 people rallied in central Perth, with attendees raising concerns with the ABC about the pressure of immigration on the housing market and cost of living.

One Nation upper house member Rod Caddies told the crowd he wanted to curb immigration, "a rock-solid ban on foreign ownership of our land", changes to student visa rules and "iron-clad unbreakable free speech for every Aussie".

He claimed the Liberal and National parties did not attend because they were too afraid in case the media "pounced" on a "few bad apples" who showed up in the crowd.

But another speaker targeted specific ethnic groups, saying the country wanted to celebrate Australia Day and not "Aus-Chi-India-stan Day".

"We must continue to be proud of our Anglo Celtic ancestry as we are the backbone, the base, the root, the core, the anchor," he said.

"We are the strength of Australia. Australia is not strong because of diversity, that's bullshit, we are strong despite diversity."

The man said he was from the Australian Patriots Party, which is not a registered political party in Australia.

The event, at Wellington Square in East Perth, included a speaker from the now-defunct Neo-Nazi movement the National Socialist Network (NSN), who claimed the movement was not violent.

Former Busselton local government candidate Stephen Wells speaks at a March For Australia Rally in Perth, where he defended the activities of the NSN.
He also led members of the Perth crowd in a chant to "free" Joel Davis from prison, where he is being held without bail prior to his trial.

Perth March For Australia organiser Baylie Bergroth, who also gave a speech, has previously denied being an NSN member, but has been linked to pro-Hitler and pro-Nazi social media posts that he defended as "satire".

My god, it's like a cancer that's spreading faster and faster. We've learned nothing from 100 years ago.

 

[tbm3fan]

That's because Gen Z wasn't alive during those times. Now those times hold a fascination for them. Social media has normalized that content, edgy and so called taboo thoughts and ideas are cool, and today's world is so much more complicated than it was for me in 1969 (when 16) and when things get complicated some people look for structure wherever they can find it. Some of them are isolated. Some have identity issues. Consequently there have always been those older who want to take advantage of that and harness their bodies/minds for their personal use. Wash and repeat especially after the last rinse was 100 years ago and memories have faded or died out.

Unfortunately the biggest demographic supporting these people are Boomers. They are too old to march or get involved in violence, but in Australia they are overwhelmingly the reason for the political rise of far right, anti-immigrant party One Nation. They are largely the reason for a whole suite of problems that they want to blame immigrants for, but unfortunately taking reponsibility isn't something they are intersted in. It is ALWAYS everyone else's fault.

I agree that there are small numbers of younger generations who have become radicalized and detached from parts of broader society, and they are dangerous, but the broader conditions that drive this have been created/are being created largely by their grandparents' generation.

Interesting as here I see few boomers, in my book who are over 65, as the face of these far right neo-nazi groups. They seem more from the Gen Y and Gen Z to me. Of course, there are always some Professor Emeritus.

Haven't you always had a hard core group who have never cared for or considered Aborigines as human throughout your history and now extended it to any immigrant? One Nation sounds neo-nazi as their core ideology has always been the evil immigrant ripping you off.

 

[Aussiegunner]

Nice attempt to conflate March for Australia with the Perth bomb attempt, when there is no link. March for Australia organisers actually told thd halfwits from the now defunct National Socialist Network, not to come to their second march. And they didn't. There isn't the denial of the risks of anti-Semitism within that movement, like there is amongst the pro-Palestinian leftists who have provided succor to Islamic extremists over the last two and a bit years.

Having made their point about mass immigration and having had Bondi sadly reinforce the point about pandering to Islamic extremists, I don't anticipate MFA and similar movements will continue to be as big as they were last year. Most Australians are not professional protesters who get their jollies out of causing trouble, like leftist wankers are.

Our governments have put the skids under the leftists anyway, with new laws and a willingness to back police to enforce them. A bunch of ferals breaking protest laws, got pepper sprayed and physically reeducated by police in Sydney on Monday.

Suck shit, FAFO.

Last week WA police, working with Federal investigators, charged a 31 year old man with terrorism related offences. Sounds like someone was inspired by white nationalists of the type who have marched a number of times in the past 6 months. These are the sort of maggots who target non-white immigrants AND the original inhabitants of this nation. People this stupid are incapable of understanding the irony:

Police Commissioner Col Blanch alleged the incident "was a nationalist and racially motivated, attack … targeting members of the Aboriginal community, First Nations people."

He said police believed the bomb "had a fuse that was lit", and "we should all be thankful that we don't have deceased or seriously injured people in Western Australia today" as a result.

In other news the Betoota Advocate reports that a failed Melbourne historian can't tell white nationalists inspired by Hitler, from Australian patriots standing up for the nation that lost so many fighting him. All while he marches alongside apologists for a catastrophic rise in anti-Jewish racism, which resulted in the worst racially motivated massacre in modern Australian history.

Again, not racially motivated. Because (say it all together loudly). JEWS ARE NOT A SEPARATE RACE!

For the love of God man give it up. Even Jews don't see themselves as being a distinct race. A distinct religion? Yes (if they're practicing) but a distinct race? No. Only you think this is true even when one simple Google search would tell you why it is not.

Interesting that you focus straight on that. Are you suggesting, that killing jews is somehow less evil, because of a disagreement over a definition?

Incidentaly, "one simple Google search" threw up this article by a Jewish academic, who considers anti-Jewish racism to be z valid concept.

Antisemitism isn’t just ‘Jew-hatred’ – it’s anti-Jewish racism

Combatting antisemitism isn’t just about ‘calling it out’ – it’s about helping people understand what antisemitism is in the first place.

It's not 'interest' it's exasperation. We went over and over and over this fixation of yours with race in another thread just a little while ago. And in that thread the reasons and evidence proving why your were wrong about this claim of yours were laid out. And what happens? First post into an entirely different thread and here you are posting the same incorrect claims all over again. It's not a case of focusing on on the topic it's a case of being triggered by it and your apparent inability to grasp a basic scientific and historical fact.

And BTW we're not having a disagreement. The scientific community, historians, genealogists the Jewish community at large all say you are wrong, full stop, end of story. There is no other 'side', no counter argument no matter how much you might like to insist otherwise. One plus one will never equal three and when dealing with important topics like this definitions are of vital importance. Your definition is WRONG.

You didn't answer my question. Let me rephrase it for you, was the killing of Jews in Bondi, less evil than the attempt to kill aborgines in Perth?

 

[Monash]

You didn't answer my question. Let me rephrase it for you, was the killing of Jews in Bondi, less evil than the attempt to kill aborgines in Perth?

I did answer it. We've been down this rabbet hole before in the last thread and I'm going to answer the same way I did that time. The fact the that the killings were sparked by religious and ideological motivations rather than race as you keep insisting does NOT change the criminally of the act or the moral culpability of those involved one iota.

Murder is murder. It doesn't matter what the motivation was or is. All other factors being equal? The sentence will be and should be the same regardless of motive. Now we have that clear please don't ask again because I don't want to have to repeat myself a third time.

What about the culpability of those in Australia who have turned a blind eye to, associated with or even given tacit approval for, the ideology that motivated the crime?

 

[Monash]

What about the culpability of those in Australia who have turned a blind eye to, associated with or even given tacit approval for, the ideology that motivated the crime?

Sadly the same thing works in reverse, The Israeli/Palestinian divide goes both ways and it's gone on far too long and has seen far too much bloodshed for both Israeli and Palestinians to be stopped by just insisting one side is wrong and the other is right. The result? I have zero doubt that there are people on that side of the divide who could ask you the same question you've just asked me. So what's your answer?

Do you know who it is that have 'turned a blind eye, associated with or even given tacit approval for the ideology that motivated the crime' ? Because news flash. I sure as hell don't! But I will tell you this. If we have to 'do something' about whoever it is that supports the Palestinian cause in Australia including everyone who aren't even Palestinian, even if they personalty haven't committed a crime? Then by default we also have to 'do' the same with everyone in Australia who supports Israel's cause even if they haven't done anything illegal either!.

The problem? Your doing exactly what I warned about in that other thread. Choosing a side and then expecting me to support your choice like just about everyone else I've ever debated this topic with. Your not offering any solutions, not suggesting a compromise you want me to work with you on. Nope, your just another internet stranger saying I should take Israels side or at the least tell you your right. Well sadly (for both of us) I can just as easily find someone else on-line who would be just as insistent and just as lacking in solutions who wants me to take the Palestinian's side and tell them their right.

As per that other thread. I am not, repeat not, choosing a side and anyone on either side of the divide who breaks the law? Deserves what they get. So one more time, call me when there' a viable resolution to the problem that meets the needs of both Israeli's and Palestinians and I'll be all in. Until then don't bother. I'll also remind you that the 'the troubles' in Northern Island only ended when both sides realized there was no 'victory' and that compromise was the only way out.

Oh and P.S. Jews are still not a race.

Oh and P.S. Jews are still not a race.

As I have explsined to you, a Muslim attack on Australian Jews is not a legitimate extension of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It is just a hate crime, pure and simple and it is all one way.

There have been no mass movements of Jews in Australia, engaging in escalating intimadatory tactics, vandalism and violence culminating in mass murder over the last two and a bit years. Only Muslims have done that, aided and abetted by the Australian Left.

We also don't see any other Australians with roots on one side of an overseas conflict, engaging in terrorist attacks against diaspora from the other side. It is just Australian Muslims who do that to Australian Jews.

If you take your own advice and do a simple Google search, you will see that Jews are not just a religion, as you say they are. They are considered to be an ethno-religious group, with elements of religion, ethnicity and nationhood.

If you also search for the term Anti-Jewish Racism, you will see that it is widely accepted as real. It relates to racialised anti-Semitism, where negative racial characteristics are ascribed to Jews, like greed and untrustworthiness.

Racialised anti-Semitism is claimed to have started off in Europe, but it has been adopted by Muslims. That is what the Palestinians ard doing when they call Jews "Descendents of monkeys and pigs".

I think that you are just desparate to mischaracterise Jews as being exclusively a religious group, so that you can victim blame them, for the one way violence that they have suffered in Australia. Then you don't have to call out people like Bigfella, who have hypocritically screamed racism at every opportunity, while associating himself with the most violent racist movement in Australia.

You are being gutless, justifying association and support for racist mass murderers, to avoid being honest with people about their behavior. There is no high moral ground for you by adopting this position, where you can participate in the conversation but "do not take sides". If you wanted to do that you would have been better off to not contribute, because by doing so you have taken the side of the anti-Jewish racist terrorists.

 

[Aussiegunner]

So you want a thought police?

Australia already has a thought police when it comes to hateful expression that causes fear and promotes violence. It has just been extended to address specific issues associated with Anti-Jewish racism that everybody here has been ignoring here, because it is politically inconvenient for the Left.

You either haven't read all of my posts on this issue properly or have decided to deliberately misinterpret them. Yes, I have said repeatedly that Jews are not a race but I have also said (repeatedly) that they were/are both a distinct religion AND a nation/society/culture. Go back and look. I have made the numerous references to both religious and secular Jews and to the Jewish State itself on multiple occasions.

Beyond that, if you can't see the distinction between people supporting/calling for the end of violence against Palestinians or the creation of a Palestinian State in a non violent/legal manner and people calling for or promoting the destruction of Israel or inciting violence against Jews? Then there's no helping you because there is a clear and distinct difference between them. One is entirely lawful & the other is not. And if you can't see that? Your no better than the people your criticizing because you want people prosecuted and presumably jailed just for expressing an opinion you disagree with. Do you see me or anyone else on this Forum calling for an end to pro-Israeli protests or commentary?

Lastly? Please point to one post where I stated or implied I supported Hamas or other organizations bent on destroying Israel or indeed anyone calling for violence against Jews in general. Go on, go back through all my posts and find the quote.
