Here's a pretty good taxonomy of Antipodean Resistance which seems to share a lot of strategy and design with groups like America's Atomwaffen, except obviously they're not allowed to do drills with semi-automomatic rifles in the desert, so they mostly just do Nazi graffiti and posterizing

that's the brain genius group that posterd an MPs office a few months ago

groups like AR and AW are the ones fighting with the rest of the alt-right over optics which is one of the reasons the movement has been destroyed over the past 6 months, along with antifascists beating the poo poo out of them. these crazy power station blowing up murders are giving our peaceful ethnostate white supremecist movement a bad name :cry:

quote:

British republicans say they are "disappointed" Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull did not try to stop the Prince of Wales from being anointed as the next head of the Commonwealth.

...

Some British republicans had hoped Mr Turnbull, a well-known high-profile advocate of installing an Australian head of state, would campaign against a Royal being put in the head of Commonwealth role.
"No-one would have been surprised, no-one would have been upset — with the possible exception of some of his own backbench," Mr Smith said.
"We can only guess that's the reason or there has been some hard-nosed horse-trading behind the scenes that we don't know about.
"This is another feather [in the Royal family's] cap."

...

This week, Mr Turnbull again restated his view the "monarch of the United Kingdom" should hold the role — though he said there was no inconsistency in being an Australian republican, while also supporting the British Royal family playing a symbolic Commonwealth leadership role.
Australian Republican Movement chair Peter FitzSimons said he did not understand why Mr Turnbull backed Prince Charles as the next head of the Commonwealth.
"Malcolm Turnbull is, I assure you the most passionate Republican in the country while Christopher Pyne remains the most eloquent, but I don't quite get why the Prime Minister is backing a system whereby a future monarch rises by birth right alone," he said.
I'm surprised there was anyone left on earth yet to be disappointed by the Prime Minister

Honestly, a lot of this stuff originated from weird sometimes odd and funny frog memes with quotes from roman emperors and other poo poo and then it got kidnapped into this weird fascist thing. I can see the angle of 'It wasn't really a meme once it was just Nazi's in disguise' But really it was just Nazi's successfully kidnapped a bunch of memes and made a playbook out of them. The end result is a bunch of spin off frog organisations who paid Fiverr for some sort of logo and built a Wordpress website.

It’s marketing spin, “bending” the truth. Because of apra requirements has to invest in other banks which dilute to negligible amounts the ability to invest responsibly.
Little or no small banks would invest in fossil fuels though most would have investments with the big four who most certainly do

Also new/old fun fact: The WA branch of the UPF now goes/did go by the name "Western Australian Nationalism", although looks like their Facebook page got deleted after the most recent demonstrations in support of the white ZA farmers.

I think that while it's great that the fracturing of the old Reclaim Australia/UPF hegemony is a cool and good thing, it also coincides with a greater mainstreaming of a lot of the ultranationalist talking points, while the people who are hanging on to these grassroots-style groups represent the most radical and fanatical individuals. These dudes are literally only a few points away from being legitimate terrorists and make all the revolutionary socialists look like a pretty good alternative.

It seems you scare monger that these Nationalists are almost terrorists that might kill people then support “revolutionary socialists” that must necessarily kill lots of ordinary Australians to install their preferred government. Hence the “revolutionary” bit.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Apartment owners who live in blocks with flammable cladding could witness a significant drop in property prices, NSW Labor has warned.

Opposition Better Regulation spokeswoman Yasmin Catley raised concerns homeowners could be affected by a similar house price collapse to Britain, where a resident of a complex clad in panels like those on London's Grenfell Tower recently had her £475,000 ($867,000) home valued at £50,000 ($91,000).

Ms Catley said affected homeowners in NSW could also face huge costs to replace combustible cladding.

“Besides a threat to life and property, the cladding debacle overseen by [the Berejiklian] government stands to have a massive financial impact on property owners.

“Losing up to 90 per cent of the value of a property would spell financial doom for homeowners and investors alike.

She said government figures showed 412 buildings had been identified as high priority because they had cladding that could increase fire risks.

Of those, 170 were residential and 53 were high-rise buildings.

Ms Catley's concerns coincided with changes to home building laws, which the government announced on Sunday, to give residents longer to have unsafe cladding rectified by their builder.

Better Regulation Minister Matt Kean said the change to regulations would mean unsafe external wall cladding that caused or posed a fire safety risk would be classified as a major defect.

“This means anyone who buys a unit or townhouse with unsafe external cladding has the right to get repairs done by the responsible builder for up to six years after the building is completed,” Mr Kean said.

Mr Kean said the protection was the most recent in a series of ongoing reforms about the use of cladding across the state.

NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rose Webb last month called for public submissions about whether a building product use ban was warranted on certain types of external cladding.

“Residents who are concerned about major defects in their building should contact the builder or developer, in the first instance,” Mr Kean said.
