The NSW Police Force announced on Friday that six among the group of approximately 61 heavily disguised people were arrested and taken to the police station following a police operation, and a further 55 men were issued Rail Infringement Notices for offensive behaviour.
Two men had since been released and issued infringement notices for offensive behavior, the police added.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that these people were wearing all black, including balaclavas, and they produced a banner referencing a neo-Nazi group.
Albanese said he was shocked by the number of people. “We have seen a rise in neo-Nazi activity on extreme right-wing activity,” he added.
Held every year on Jan. 26, Australia Day marks the anniversary of the 1788 landing of the British First Fleet in the country.
