The Australian situation is actually fairly different. According to this report by the Australian Institute of Criminology, Jihadists are the most significant terror threat in Australia at the moment. We (thankfully) don't have many right-wing terrorist incidents at all. There is a limitation to the information we have available, because we don't really have systems in place to track political motivations of violence, so there's a chance that there's more right-wing incidents going on than we realise, but the AIC place jihadism first and right-wing second at the moment, with more research needed.
I obviously in no way support Anning's speech or any of the sentiment in it, and am not trying to imply that his ideology or plans have any merit. Just filling you in on the current situation.
It's also worth noting that though isalmic terrorism is the leading form of violent extremism in Australia, the AIC report does conclude that our overall violence rates are small when compared to...
It's also worth noting that though isalmic terrorism is the leading form of violent extremism in Australia, the AIC report does conclude that our overall violence rates are small when compared to similar countries, so the far right are still absoutely trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here.
Honestly, I'm trying to figure out if this is some kind of resurgence or if I'm just seeing without my rose colored glasses -- and I don't know which of those two possibilities is worse.

Yeah, it's appalling. On the bright side, multiple MPs and senators spoke up about how this is completely unacceptable, including the PM. "Line in the sand" was mentioned a few times. This is a...
Yeah, it's appalling. On the bright side, multiple MPs and senators spoke up about how this is completely unacceptable, including the PM. "Line in the sand" was mentioned a few times. This is a turning point, and hopefully our government can steer us in the right direction by taking action, starting with censuring this facist, and doing their best to oust him come May.
I know the guy's an Australian, but does he really not see the problem with the rhetoric of proposing a final solution to the immigration problem? All you need to do is switch literally one word...
I know the guy's an Australian, but does he really not see the problem with the rhetoric of proposing a final solution to the immigration problem? All you need to do is switch literally one word and it's a quote from Hitler. Besides, arguing that all terrorists are muslims is quite xenophobic.
In a typically rambling, bizarre statement by his party leader, Bob Katter, it was claimed that he just isn't that well read when it comes to history, so didn't know. Which is bullshit, I've never...

Which is bullshit, I've never read a book on the third Reich and "final solution" has a very clear meaning and association, it comes up all over the place in popular culture.

Sounds to be like a classic extreme conservative banking on populism while getting money from corporations to let them earn even more money.
