Corowa, NSW: Community in shock as white supremacists rally in border town

Residents of a border town have expressed shock as a group of about 50 masked men held a rally and chanted white supremacist slogans.

Residents of a town on the New South Wales and Victoria border have reacted with shock as 50 masked men rallied on Saturday.

The incident occurred outside the Corowa War Memorial about midday, with the group seen holding a large banner saying “white man fight back”.

The figures, dressed head to toe in black, were heard chanting white supremacist slogans.

According to New South Wales police the crowd of about 50 were “dispersed” by officers following reports of an unauthorised assembly.

“There were no arrests,” NSW Police said in a statement.

“As inquiries into the incident continue, anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

Members of the community were critical of the group on social media, labelling the rally “disgusting”.
“What a horrible thing to happen in our community,” one person said.

One figure associated with Victoria’s white supremacist movement, posted on X claiming the march was because the local pork industry had been bought out by multinational corporations.

He claimed these companies were “importing” workers at the expense of white residents.

The incident comes just days after a self-described Nazi became the first person to be convicted under Victoria’s laws banning the Nazi salute in public.
