Fears of growing far-right in Australia amid 'Deplorables' tour

[Al Jazeera] "Tommy Robinson's real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon. He changed it to hide the fact he is a life-long Nazi," said an activist addressing a rally outside Australia's Department of Home Affairs in Melbourne in late November.

"He was a member of the fascist

...anybody not a leftist...
British National Party in the 2000s and a march of 15,000 people organised while he was in jail in June this year saw marchers giving the Nazi salute in his honour."

For months, anti-racism campaigners in Australia have called for the denial of visas to Robinson and Gavin McInnes, both prominent figures in the global far-right movement. McInnes was a co-founder of Vice magazine before leaving the organization in 2008 and founding the Proud Boys, who describe themselves as "a pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologise for creating the modern world; aka Western Chauvinists".

McInnes and the Proud Boys were banned from Twitter this August and after the Guardian revealed the FBI had listed the organization as "an myrmidon hate group with ties to white nationalism", while the Southern Poverty Law Centreclassifies it as a hate group.

Eli Rosenberg, December 7, 2018

A high-ranking FBI agent told reporters that the Western-chauvinist group Proud Boys, which has made headlines for its part in violent clashes in Portland, Ore., and New York, is not considered an extremist group, contradicting a report from a Washington state sheriff’s office that circulated in November.
According to the Oregonian, Special Agent in Charge Renn Cannon said during a discussion with Portland-area journalists that the FBI had not intended to designate the group as extremist during a slide show with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
