Australia Day: Prime Minister Condemns “Neo-Nazi Activity” in Sydney! (27.1.2024)

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.

Australia: 85th Anniversary of Dalfram Dispute Protest Against Japanese Atrocities in China! (17.11.2023)

On Nov. 15, 1938, Port Kembla witnessed one of the most resounding events in its history — the Dalfram Dispute, where 180 courageous Australian workers refused to load pig iron onto the cargo steamer SS Dalfram, as they found that the raw materials would be used in the manufacture of weapons to fuel Japan’s invasion of China.

Located some 90 km south of Australia’s Sydney, Port Kembla serves as an international trade gateway for agricultural, construction, and mining industries in the state of New South Wales, which operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
