Net closes on racists

from the Toowoomba Chronicle, 14 July 2005, by Susan Searle (susans@thechronicle.com.au) ....

NAZI hunters are using the Internet to track white supremacists and believe Toowoomba's hate mail campaign is the work of a Crows Nest man.

The online hunt has unearthed an Internet alias, an age, occupation, and personal detail down to a swastika on his motorcycle and a curious affiliation with a Returned Services League.

Mat Henderson-Hau, the campaign co-ordinator Fight Dem Back!, is missing one key element in exposing the culprit: the man's name.

His group's focus stems from the distribution of a brochure promoting white women as an endangered species and attached pamphlet, The Nationalist, subtitled The Voice of White Pride Coalition of Australia (WPCA).

....We don’t want these people thinking they can go around putting things in people’s letter boxes, or putting up posters, and for there to not be a reaction to it.

....Executive officer of the Social Justice Commission for the Catholic Diocese of Toowoomba Mark Copland was appalled.

And the pair have been pondering the next step.

Meanwhile, Mr HendersonHau, and his band of 300 Fight Dem Back! surfers, are trailing footprints over the Internet. "The Internet changes everything — he’s up there is South-East Queensland, I’m down here in Sydney — I can still have an effect on what he does and these people need to realise that," he said. He says he is aware of a KKK presence in southern Queensland.
