Right Wing Extremism
Background:
In Australia incidents of �far?right� activity appear to becoming more aggressive, overt and confrontational in nature. In early August a Melbourne man was arrested
under terrorism charges linked with right?wing extremism (RWE). On August 14 members of the far?right group �Party for Freedom� dressed as Muslims, interrupted a church service in Gosford, NSW claiming the church was assisting in a �Muslim invasion�. This, in conjunction with the Reclaim Australia movement, online commentary and other incidents of far?right activity indicates that RWE may be increasing.
Task:
Given recent incidents of RWE activity in Victoria and NSW, provide an assessment on how likely it is that RWE activity will become evident in Western Australia in the next six (6) months. Specify regional and/or suburban areas where this activity is more likely to occur and why.
