The name of the P!ss Boy (Proud Boy) who lost his hat is Andrew Paton. He's a fairly-typical PB. But most of his kameraden mates joined the plague rats in St Kilda on #InvasionDay.
Paton is an Anning fan, natch, & St Kilda was the place that ex-Senator, bankrupt, & brave ANZAC (he's buggered off to his spiritual home in Trumpland) 'Final Solution' chose to organise a racist rally in JAN 2019, which PBs also attended. https://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=44339
For #STRAYA Day 2018, St Kilda also hosted one of the final hurrahs for the methgoblins of the 'True Blue Crew'. W the demise of the TBC, the PBs have stepped in to fill the void of organised racist simpletons. https://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=42553
Fydenberg: 'There is a rise in far-right conspiracy theories and a rise in anti-Semitism globally, as well as … here in Australia and indeed in Melbourne.' The PBs are generally equivocal on The JQ. Hence Jarrad Searby https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/covid-19-is-fake-victorian-man-who-illegally-crossed-nsw-border-faces-court-c-1156490 is non-committal.
But they're also generally #COVIDIOTs, which is why it made perfect sense for the PBs to join the anti-lockdown freedumb mob in St Kilda y/day. (I suspecc Ye 0lde St Kilda would've dealt w these ejjits, but it's been yuppietown for decades now, sadly.)
PBs in the US have proven to be v useful stooges for the Republicans; it's unclear to what extent reactionary Tories in AUS might utilise them, but in light of recent events it's now obv important for them to distance themselves ... https://www.wsj.com/video/video-investigation-proud-boys-were-key-instigators-in-capitol-riot/37B883B6-9B19-400F-8036-15DE4EA8A015.html
This is not simple. PB founder Gavin McInnes was gonna tour AUS in 2018, but got denied a visa. At that stage there was competition b/w QLD businessmen Ben & Dan Spiller ('AE Media'), Dave Pellowe & Luke Izaak ('Axiomatic Events') & Damien Costas ('Penthouse Australia').
Pellowe eventually succeeded in bringing white supremacists Stefan Molyneux & Lauren 'The Great Replacement' Southern to AUS, but not w/o a lotta fussin' & fightin' w the Spillers. https://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=43080
A former LNP member, Pellowe was able to elicit the support of right-wing parliamentary ideologues like George Christensen MP in obtaining publicity for & promotion of the tour (Aussies are renowned the world over for being easy marks for this sh!t). https://www.sbs.com.au/news/queensland-mp-george-christensen-received-reef-trip-organised-by-far-right-events-company
Ofc, as one of the principal promoters of the thesis that propelled the #ChristchurchMassacre, Southern was rewarded by Mr Potat0 Head w a visa in 2019, & in 2020 by Murdoch & @SkyNewsAust w a permanent gig as one of their army of batsh!t propagandists. https://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=46912
Pellowe himself was joined by fellow Xtian fun-da-mentalist Lyle Shelton (among other leading AUS public intelecktuals) in kicking off the hate-speech tour in JUL 2018 @ an event proudly hosted by the @AFL in Cairns.
In this context, important to recognise mutualism b/w AltRight promoters & more mainstream propagandists like Rowan Dean/Alan Jones. Here Damien Costas laments that David Coleman (then Min for Immigration) was reluctant ('too risky') to issue visa to Milo ahead of 2019 election.
Under pressure, Costas also claimed to have arranged w Miranda Devine to publish a supportive piece in The Daily Terrorgraph to promote a failed tour by McInnes & Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ('Tommy Robinson').
Sadly, moments in Charlottesville, Christchurch, Capitol & now Canada have compromised the ability of local reactionaries to re-frame foreign hate-merchants as Funny Guys, but the corporate-sponsored Culture War™ on Cancel Culture & Cultural Marxism, anTEEfa & BLM carries on ...
Also important to recognise that, as general rule, these grifters obtain prominence thru the support of R/W billionaires. Hence in 2018 exchange w Ben Spiller, Milo boasted that 'My previous sponsors were the billionaires who put Trump in office'.

If a 'frightened' Josh Frydenberg wants to discover how & why nazis, white supremacists & antisemitic schmucks have 'suddenly' popped up outta ~ ERMAHGERD! ~ Absolutely! Nowhere! he could always ask his parliamentary colleagues & his Tory mates who run AUS meeja.
