'We don't want them': Neo-Nazi group says it will disband ahead of new laws
www.abc.net.au
In a statement posted to Telegram, the group announced the closure of the National Socialist Network would also spell the end of "co-projects" White Australia, the European Australian Movement and the White Australia Party.

In short: The National Socialist Network says it will disband in response to proposed new hate speech laws by the federal government.

A statement from the group says the decision was made to prevent members from being arrested and charged.

The group says it will close down by January 18.

    Sufficient government action has been many years overdue, but better this than more waiting. Next step is to crush their “active clubs”, because everyone knows they’re not going to simply disappear.

    We will see how this impacts the upcoming Invasion Day marches more interesting, as the March for Australia counterprotest has already had members of the NSN show up as organisers, marshals and plain clothes stooges in the audience.
