Comment on Neo-Nazi's bank accounts frozen as private sector moves to cut off group's funding pipeline

In the parallel timeline in which Dutton won the election, White Australia still has its name and bank accounts (“free speech”), while a dozen people allegedly connected with the designated terrorist movement Antifa have had their accounts frozen.

The article says that apart from the ASIC parts, companies are doing this independently, not due to government pressure. There are a few foreign neo-Nazi groups on Australia’s terrorist entity list, but the NSN are not officially considered a terrorist group, despite repeatedly committing violent political terrorists acts on citizens. (Also, the AEC has said it appears White Australia will likely be able to register that party name electorally)
That all said, it is important that we as citizens continue to develop the power to push these companies to repress neo-Nazis and not pro-social political activists.
