How to report on neo-Nazis without giving them what they want
Media coverage of the anti-immigration marches was a 'propaganda triumph' for Australian neo-Nazis, who use media-baiting tactics to spread their message.

When Dutch cities first started removing cars from their streets and squares, some cynics argued, “We’re not the Mediterranean!”
Opponents claimed they didn’t have the requisite year-round walking and terrace cultures of Spain, France, and Italy; due to the hostile climate.
They definitely do now.
