About
The National Socialist Network (NSN) is an Australian neo-Nazi group. They are newsworthy due to the Australian government's impending hate speech legislation, which could potentially proscribe the organization. The NSN has claimed it will disband before the legislation is introduced. Additionally, a British man residing in Western Australia, Ryan Turner, is facing deportation due to alleged membership in the NSN. His visa was cancelled on character grounds, and he is currently in immigration detention. He has the option to appeal the visa cancellation or voluntarily return to the UK. These events highlight the Australian government's increasing focus on combating neo-Nazi groups and individuals associated with them, making the NSN a subject of public and governmental attention.
