Overview
- More than 60 members of the National Socialist Network rallied outside NSW Parliament about 10am with a banner reading “Abolish the Jewish Lobby,” antisemitic speeches and the “blood and honour” chant.
- Uniformed officers observed the event without dispersing it, and the group left after roughly 10 minutes as footage circulated on social media.
- Police said a Form 1 protest notice was submitted on October 28 by a group calling itself White Australia, and Commissioner Mal Lanyon acknowledged a communications breakdown with government.
- Lanyon ordered an urgent review of the decision‑making and said police will assess whether conduct breached criminal laws, including the NSW Crime Act.
- Premier Chris Minns condemned the rally and signalled possible legislative changes, while Police Minister Yasmin Catley called the event deeply distressing and backed a review to prevent repeats; federal agencies noted ongoing monitoring of the NSN, including concerns the group seeks to formalise political activity.
