White Australia Listed as Prohibited Hate Group Amid Legal Challenges
Membership and support in White Australia are criminal offenses, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess called the group 'stretching the boundary of legality' for rebranding under aliases like the European Australia Movement.
The group is the second to be banned under the new anti-hate laws introduced after the Bondi massacre in December.
Hizb ut-Tahrir was the first group listed under the framework in March.
The government can quickly reclassify the group if it rebrands.
Authorities anticipate potential legal challenges over the listing's legality.
