The exposure of more than a dozen neo-Nazis after a protest in Adelaide is an important step in holding them accountable for their views, an expert in political violence says.

A group of 15 men and one youth alleged to be members or associates of the National Socialist Network were arrested in the South Australian capital on January 26, after taking part in a “counter protest” at the city’s War Memorial.

Police laid a range of charges including displaying a Nazi symbol, carrying an item of disguise and loitering against group members who appeared in an Adelaide court last week.

Court documents show the men live around the country, with some having travelled from Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and regional Queensland.
