The Anti-Defamation Commission has warned that the National Workers Alliance, a Melbourne group that presents itself as blue-collar activism, is a front for white supremacy, and called on the authorities to investigate.
The group has launched a recruiting drive with a pamphlet inviting young men to “join our active club”, describing itself as “from the working class, a producer not a parasite, family orientated”, and holding weekly “vetting nights” in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
“The National Workers Alliance pamphlet is one of the most sophisticated and sinister examples of white-supremacy rebranding and disguise I have seen,” said the commission’s chairman, Dr Dvir Abramovich, who led the national campaign that banned the Nazi salute and swastika. “Take the raw ugliness of hate, wrap it in the language of the working man, add a fitness culture, a sense of brotherhood, a glossy logo, and a list of policy positions that sound almost reasonable on the surface. Then let the pipeline do its work.”
Dr Abramovich said the group’s name echoes the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, and that the phrase “a producer not a parasite” is drawn from Nazi propaganda, including Julius Streicher’s Der Stürmer. “That is not an accident,” he said. “Their ‘vetting nights’ and ‘fitness requirements’ are the recruitment tools of a paramilitary organisation, not a community group.”

A spokesman for the group told The Australian it was “a standalone movement” and not associated with neo-Nazi organisations. Victoria Police said they had analysed the pamphlet and found it did not constitute a criminal offence, but that they keep a close eye on far-right groups.
Dr Abramovich said the group had been recruiting with a megaphone at a train station on 23 May. “The wolves, wearing blue collar clothing, are coming for your children, searching for new members,” he said. “We have torn off the mask. Now it is time for the authorities to investigate.”
