A British man living in Western Australia is set to be deported over claims that he was part of a well-known neo-Nazi group.
Ryan Turner's visa was cancelled on character grounds and he was taken into immigration detention on Tuesday. He can appeal the decision to cancel his visa or voluntarily return to the UK.
Turner is understood to be a member of the National Socialist Network, the same group that organised an anti-Jewish rally outside the New South Wales parliament last year.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke stated, Our government has zero tolerance for bigotry and hate. If you don't like Australia, you can leave.
The BBC has contacted the UK Foreign Office for comment.
Last year, Australia tightened its hate crime laws, introducing mandatory jail terms for displaying hate symbols or performing a Nazi salute.
In recent months, police have been cracking down on the use of these symbols amid fears of rising antisemitism and right-wing extremism.
Several foreign nationals with links to Nazi ideology have had their visas revoked, including a South African man who was detained last November.
This individual also participated in a neo-Nazi rally. It remains unclear if Turner attended similar events.
In another case, a British man residing in Queensland was arrested for allegedly promoting pro-Nazi ideology online.
Australia continues to implement new laws targeting hate speech, aiming to curb the spread of extremist views.
