There were exceptions to the rule, but taken as a whole, the organisers of the Australia ones were neo-Nazis and related cryptofascists. This was well-known in advance.


The Melbourne rally literally used Thomas Sewell's own podium that you can see in their own NSN videos.

The Townsville rally used the NSN's branded megaphone, Katter says there was no other one there.

The Sydney organiser, Bec Freedom, is a white nationalist with strong links to the NSN. Before the rally, it was well-publicised that they were a white nationalist in conversations with neo-Nazis. 1+1.

“There’s a lot of people trying to claim the rally as their own and turn it into a unity march,” Freedom said. “I understand why some people are saying it’s not about race. Though people like that … they’re scared. But if we break it down, this is how I tried to explain it to somebody. I said, OK, so protect Australian heritage, culture, way of life. Next step, protect European culture, heritage, way of life. The next step is protect white heritage."

'Auspill', one of the earliest and central promoters has strong known links to the NSN and creates memes supporting esoteric Nazism concepts like Hyperborea. In a word, Auspill is a Nazi.

The main March for Australia website originally had and then redacted a call for the neo-Nazi wolf-whistle of 'remigration', you can see this in archived copies of the website and it was widely reported. The rally Facebook page consistently and repeatedly advocated for including the NSN at the march and downplayed them.
