Ley rejects Neo-Nazis Sussan Ley says white supremist rallies "failed miserably"

Member for Farrer Sussan Ley has slammed members of the National Socialist Network in parliament recently.


“I rise with a message from my electorate of Farrer: those who try to divide us will only make us stronger,” Ms Ley said in her opening statements.

In October, up to 50 Neo-Nazis dressed in black, with their faces covered, converged at Corowa in NSW, as part of an organised white supremacist rally.


Ms Ley condemned the men who took part.

“These men sought support for a publicity stunt. They failed miserably.

 Corowa rebuked the mob, demanding they leave town immediately. When I visited (Corowa) the next day, the message was clear: your views are not welcome in our town.”


The group had also assembled at Albury's war memorial, alone on a cold midwinter evening, sprouting what Ms Ley called “white supremacy rubbish.” Saying their views should be “disappearing into the void of a dark night.”

“You might meet in secret or sink into backroom social media sites, but as soon as you come out of the dark, you will be rejected,” she said.

“If you think there's a base for you in rural Australia, think again.”
