‘WE’RE THE HITLERS YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR’

- RACHEL LANG

AN AUSTRALIAN white power group has hosted a secret “resistance camp” on the Sunshine Coast.

Members of the Antipodean Resistance describe themselves as “the Hitlers you’ve been waiting for” and have chapters across Australia, including a presence on the Sunshine Coast.

The group is responsibl­e for posting anti-Semitic, anti-Asian, and anti-gay propaganda in cities across the country, and is taking an active stance against the upcoming same-sex marriage vote.

In July, the Queensland chapter of the Antipodean Resistance took to Mount Beerburrum for a “radicalisa­tion camp”.

The group shared a photo on Twitter, showing four members with their hands raised in a Nazi salute with their identities concealed under skull stickers.

“The Queensland lads went on a camping trip on Mount Beerburrum, rounding off a very eventful and successful month for (the Antipodean Resistance),” their Twitter account reads.

According to the group’s July 2017 Action Report, members hiked up Mount Beerburrum, had a meal, did some “training” and camped that night in the forest.

“After the hike and views over the Glass House Mountains, we found a camping spot and set up,” the report said.

“We then made a campfire, as always using captured enemy propaganda to start it, and sat around it for the night.

“These camping trips will become somewhat of a regular occurrence in the future.”

The neo-Nazi group imposes strict requiremen­ts on its members: you have to be white and not in a relationsh­ip with a non-white as “racial treason is not tolerated”.

The group’s website describes it as “an organisati­on of White Men who strive to fulfil their potential, not content with the idea of superiorit­y granted to us by our race, but to live up to our historical greatness through our actions. And that is why we say: being white is not enough.”
