The Australian government has banned the neo-Nazi group National Socialist Network (also known as White Australia) under hate legislation passed following the Bondi terror attacks.

Home affairs minister Tony Burke states the ban will prevent the group from organizing and may stop future extremist rallies.

NSW Premier Chris Minns may abandon plans to ban the slogan 'globalise the intifada' following a legal challenge in Queensland. Initially determined to prohibit the phrase after the Bondi terror attack, Minns now ties the ban's fate to the outcome of the Queensland case, signaling a potential retreat from the policy.

The Australian Recreation Union (ARU) is targeting marginal Labor seats in the 2023 New South Wales election, supporting candidates who oppose post-Bondi terror attack gun control reforms. The group has recruited campaign managers in 17 'vulnerable' electorates, including Premier Chris Minns' Kogarah seat and Police Minister Yasmin Catley's Swansea seat.
