Prominent neo-Nazi charged over alleged online harassment of federal MP

A well-known figure in the neo-Nazi movement faces charges for allegedly targeting a federal MP with online harassment. The MP had publicly criticized the group’s anti-Jewish demonstration held at the steps of the NSW Parliament House.

The Australian Federal Police announced tonight that they launched an investigation after discovering a threatening message on a secure online platform.

“The message purportedly incited the public to send abusive and hate-filled communications to a federal parliamentarian, following their denouncement of a National Socialist Network rally on November 8, 2025,” stated the AFP.

Authorities reportedly traced the message back to Davis, leading to a search warrant execution today, during which his electronic devices were confiscated.

AFP Detective Superintendent Jeremy Staunton emphasized that promoting hatred and violent extremism is unacceptable.

“Those who spread hatred and fear are undermining the social cohesion of our community,” he asserted in a statement.

“There is no place for violent extremist views, and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia’s future from these threats.”

Davis had called on supporters online to “rhetorically rape” Spender.

Asked by 9News last week if he would apologise, Davis claimed “Allegra Spender and her colleagues should apologise for their policies to do with mass immigration”.

“I get death threats and all kinds of threats all the time with what I do. It comes to the territory, so stop crying.”

Spender, the MP for Wentworth, told ABC Radio at the time that she’d referred the message to the police.

“It was pretty shocking and not something you ever, ever want to hear,” she said.

The November 8 “Abolish The Jewish Lobby” rally sparked calls for tougher laws and an investigation into why the group was legally allowed to protest outside NSW parliament. 

Police gave the green light to but both NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon and Premier Chris Minns said they were unaware of it until afterwards.

Davis was charged with using a carriage service to menace harass or cause offence, a Commonwealth offence that carries a maximum jail term of five years if proven.

He is due to face the NSW Bail Division Local Court tomorrow.
