Yeah Nah, Nah Yeah, It’s the 3CR Radiothon!

This week’s episode of Yeah Nah Pasaran! is our annual radiothon edition. So, no special guest, but Cam has a few tricks up his sleeve, at least one of which we hope will lead to us being CANCELLED! … and thereby making us a whole lotta money. In any case:

3CR’s annual Radiothon fundraiser is on in June and this year we’re celebrating 50 years! We’re aiming to raise $300,000 to keep the station strong and with YOUR help, we know we can. No donation is too small or big, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible. In 2026, 3CR is ‘Celebrating 50 Years’ and we look forward to YOUR donation during June.

You can donate to the show by way of Give Now (and we have anti-fascist stickers to give away if you’d like some).

antifa notes (june 7, 2026) : Nazi Gold in Hurstbridge Edition

Nazi Gold

Last week, both ABC and The Age carried reports examining some of Tom Sewell’s major financial backers and the — quite nice, actually — mansion he’s secured with their help in north-eastern Melbourne/Naarm. TLDR : millionaires are bankrolling nazis. See : Neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell covertly broadcasting hate on Instagram from Melbourne acreage, Matt Martino, Michael Workman and Lucy Carter, ABC, June 3, 2026 /// Rich mates, secret mansions: Australia’s millionaire Nazi-backers revealed, Sherryn Groch, The Age, June 3, 2026.

Both articles are worth reading, and my sympathies are with the non-Nazi-sympathising residents of Hurstbridge — ‘a little bush gem, bursting with personality’ — which can now also boast of hosting a large number of fans of Mr Hitler and Mr Tarrant. With regards the former, see : Nazi party records released online shatter German family myths (RTL Today, June 5, 2026); on the mass murder of Muslim worshippers, see also : The San Diego Mosque Attack, Part I: What Happened /// PART 2: The Online Ecosystem Behind the San Diego Mosque Attack, Alissa Azar, we will free us, June 5, 2026.

Sieg Fails

While the case against Sewell and a dozen or so members of his nazi gang who allegedly attacked Camp Sovereignty in August last year continues to make its way through the courts, several of his followers have had their ANZAC Day antics be the subject of legal penalty. Hence, Eli Toby in Sydney copped a smol fine (see : Man fined for booing during Anzac Day dawn service at Sydney’s Martin Place, Jamie McKinnell, ABC, June 3, 2026), while in Melbourne, Nathan Bull, Jacob Hersant, Ian Lomax and Michael Nelson also received smol fines for similar (Neo-Nazis found guilty over Anzac Day Welcome to Country booing, Dechlan Brennan, National Indigenous Times, June 4, 2026). In related news, Hersant also recently appeared on Shut Your Big Fat Mouth John Safran in a skit about Nazi salutes. You can watch an interview Safran did with proprietarian MP David Limbrick here, to which I’ll simply add that the United Patriots Front et. al. had come to the attention of a number of people prior to the publication of his 2017 book.

The other, major challenge facing Sewell & Co. is the proscription of White Australia as a hate group. On that count, the Lads faced a minor setback last week when an injunction was dismissed by the High Court (see : White Australia’s bid to remove hate listing dismissed by High Court, Elizabeth Byrne, ABC, June 6, 2026). You can read the judgement in White Australia Party Inc. & Anor v The Commonwealth of Australia & Anor [2026] HCASJ 17 here. While this attempt at overcoming the law was a sieg fail, the substantive challenge will proceed to court in September. On that subject, see : Professor Anne Twomey, The challenge by ‘White Australia’ to the prohibited hate group law, May 24, 2026.

Speaking of lulz, after a racist troll I’d never heard of recently lost her job, the sponsor of Warren Mundine’s CPAC, Give Send Go, came to her rescue. Thus far, it’s helped her raise over $45,000 in compensation. A tidy sum, but a fraction of what the site has helped raise for Sewell & Co..

Avi Yemini on Facebook, NOV 2018:

'This is how you deal with #fakenews

ABC News next, please 🔥👌😂'

Beneath this is a link to an RT report 'Israel bombs TV station in Gaza amid massive border flare-up (PHOTO, VIDEO)' containing an image of the station being blown up.

Finally, Charlie Pickering copped some flak after being interviewed by convicted spousal abuser and serial pest Avi Yemini at a June 2 rally demanding that the ABC be defunded. Inter alia, Pickering remarked that he thought Grace Tame’s involvement in an ABC podcast on autism was ‘problematic’, seemingly on the basis that Tame took part in a rally earlier in February when she voiced the words ‘globalise the intifada’. The defund the ABC rally was organised by Allies for a Strong Australia, previously known as the Christian Zionist project Never Again is Now, a group which, incidentally, won the support of various local Tories, including Warren Mundine, and is now seeking to defend Judeo-Christian civilisation against its many enimies.

Yeah Nah Pasaran #288 w Kaz Ross on the White Australia Party, M4WA & more : May 28, 2026

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! we talk to Kaz Ross. We last spoke to Kaz in January, on The End of the National Socialist Network. Since then, of course, the NSN — qua White Australia Party — has been proscribed as a ‘hate’ group, and more recently it’s launched a High Court challenge, arguing that the relevant law is un-Constitutional. In this episode, we spoke to Kaz about the proscription, the challenge, the effects upon M4WA, fake parties, and more.

Yeah Nah Pasaran #287 w Jordy Silverstein on the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion : May 21, 2026

On 9 January 2026, the Governor-General, Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, issued Letters Patent, which established the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

The Hon Virginia Bell AC SC has been appointed as the Royal Commissioner. The Commissioner is required to produce an interim report by 30 April 2026 and a final report by 14 December 2026.

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! we talk to (Dr) Jordy Silverstein [Bluesky]. Jordy is the author of Cruel Care (2023) and Anxious Histories (2015) — about which inter alia we spoke to her in May 2024. On this occasion, we asked for Jordy’s thoughts on the Royal Commission’s proceedings to date.

While the Royal Commission has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition as its guide, the Interim Report does not explicitly define ‘social cohesion’, but rather states that … recognising that strengthening the national consensus in support of democracy, freedom and the rule of law (social cohesion) provides the strongest defence against antisemitism and other forms of religious and ideologically motivated extremism.

Yeah Nah Pasaran #286 w Gareth Gore on Opus Dei (& Pope Leo XIV) : May 14, 2026

This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! we talk to Gareth Gore [Bluesky/Substack]. Gareth is the author of Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church, about which we spoke to him in February last year. Between now and then, Gareth had an opportunity to have an audience with Pope Leo XIV. See : He spent years investigating Opus Dei, a Catholic group accused of a vast conspiracy of abuse. Then Pope Leo asked to meet, Sam Wolfson, The Guardian, April 6, 2026. We spoke to Gareth about his meeting, the current situation of Opus Dei, and the influence of the institution on US (and world) politics.

antifa notes (april 29, 2026) : ANZACery

Nazis at ANZAC Day boo Indigenous speakers. Again.

As per last year, members of Tom Sewell’s defunct neo-Nazi groupuscule the ‘National Socialist Network’ (NSN) stormed the beaches of the ANZAC Day Dawn Service again on the weekend when, along with several operating support units consisting of other patriotik Volk, they bravely booed Welcome to Country (WTC) in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and elsewhere. The cheeky young fascists were aided in this endeavour by the dregs of the ‘March For (White) Australia’ (which has recently undergone a split to produce another anti-social media entity called ‘Fight for (White) Australia’), details of which Tom Tanuki elaborates upon below:

In 2025, it was NSN flunky Jacob Hersant what led the charge on WTC, but it seems that effort may have been enough, having won him and his kameraden Nathan Bull and Michael Nelson a stoopid prize; two other NSN members, Tim Lutze and Jimeone Roberts, were earlier this year found guilty of having failed to obey police instructions to remove themselves from the Shrine of Remembrance.

The alleged assault by the NSN upon Camp Sovereignty — like the Shrine, also in Kings Domain — following the August 2025 March for White Australia, meanwhile, continues to make its way through the courts.

In any case, having recently been released from jail after having composed some Godawful poetry earned the distinction of becoming the first person in Australia to be convicted of making the Nazi salute in public, Hersant may have been saving up his energies for the following day, when he joined fellow ex-Lads Society member Matt Trihey, his National Workers Alliance (to be confused with the NSN) and scores of others to demand that Ben Roberts-Smith be exonerated over alleged war crimes.

Don’t Tell Mum & Dad!

While police are presumably continuing to investigate the day’s events, after media inquiries, one unfortunate former NSN member, Eli Toby, has been forced to inform his mummy & daddy about being an alleged nuisance (not the first time one of Mr Sewell’s Lads have found themselves in this situation). On the other hand, the campaign to Advance the abolition of WTC has unsurprisingly won some support, and not only from neo-Nazis and right-wing lobbies. Thus the RSL has indicated it may review its policies around ANZAC Day (currently, ‘The inclusion of a Welcome to Country is … a localised decision, made at the discretion of individual sub-branches’), and the booing has even been defended by a Vice Admiral (because freezepeach). In any event:

Uncle Ray Minniecon was subjected to more than a minute of heckling while giving his Acknowledgement of Country address, with similar scenes playing out in Melbourne and Perth.

Uncle Ray has called on the RSL to take a stronger stand on the issue, saying it otherwise risks validating the behaviour.

“If they do water it down, yes, they have kowtowed to those who are doing the booing,” he told the ABC.

Who knows eh?

“We must secure the release of Ben Roberts-Smith and a future for white children.”

As noted, on April 26, Matt Trihey’s NWA held a rally in Melbourne/Naarm in order to demand that the courts cease prosecuting alleged war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith. While only attracting one or two hundred supporters (chiefly Boomerwaffen), Kerry Stokes’ poster boy has thousands more vocal fans on X, The Everything App, and throughout the Australian political establishment (including the Australian War Memorial).

‘Good luck, gentlemen’, as they say in the classics.
