Australia Cancels Briton’s Visa Over Alleged Nazi Posts as Deportation Advances

The 43-year-old is in Brisbane immigration detention with charges scheduled for a January 7 court hearing.

Overview

  • Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed the visa cancellation and said deportation proceedings are underway.
  • Police charged the British national with three counts of displaying banned Nazi symbols and one count of using the internet to cause offence.
  • Authorities allege he shared swastika imagery, promoted pro-Nazi ideology and urged violence, and opened a new account after his original was blocked.
  • A late-November search of his Caboolture home recovered mobile phones, weapons and multiple swords marked with swastikas, according to police.
  • Officials are weighing whether to delay removal to let the case proceed; the man can appeal or depart voluntarily, while his wife contends his posts stem from mental illness.
