One Nation denies influencer is a member after he backs neo‑Nazi rights

One Nation has denied that a fringe social media influencer is a member of the party after the individual publicly supported neo‑Nazi rights. The denial was reported by SMH. com. au. The party’s response distances it from the influencer’s expressed views, following publicity about his support for neo‑Nazi rights.
