In short:

Members of Katter's Australian Party (KAP) have distanced themselves from a suspected neo-Nazi who was front and centre at an anti-immigration rally in Townsville.

Four KAP politicians, including federal MP Bob Katter and state MP and party leader Robbie Katter, were pictured with the man on Sunday.

KAP maintains its members attended the rally to "reaffirm Australian values" and give voice to concerned community members.

Not the party of neo Nazis, but they seem to share a lot of neo Nazi values. Why else would neo Nazis come to their rallies?

Who can know? It's the same with the republican party in the US. Supported by neonazis, but totally not full of them! /s

That neo nazi is one of the most neo nazi looking motherfuckers I've seen outside cinema.

Good on that lady for saying something, I can’t believe his response (paraphrasing) “if they’re good, well behaved little neo-Nazis they can stay and participate. This space is for them.”
