'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.

    Definitely. Losing their formal organisations means they lose convenient (and legal) funding, because funding of group activities, when done informally, quickly and easily ends in trouble with the tax man. Losing the ability to legally spew their hatred filled bullshit out in public will not only lead to less recruitment of people who actually believe it, it will also foster a societal climate where opportunists will think twice before aligning themselves with the Nazis.
