We are deeply concerned about the other accelerationist neo-Nazis in the NZ Defence Force and the lack of political will to remove them. We know of at least four Action Zealandia members who have served or are currently serving in the defence forces.

The espionage soldier spent much of his time under arrest posting hate speech on Telegram, playing video games, and spawning two children. As with many of his fellow neo-Nazis, he formally converted to Traditionalist Catholicism.

Billy Wilson aka Saxon is also a rapper. His lyrical themes include his hatred of Samoans, Islanders, Chinese people, Jewish people, Queer people and "mouthy brown girls"; celebrating colonial massacres of Māori, joking about the holocaust, and calls for violence to inspire a "European revival".

The espionage soldier was a founding member of Action Zealandia, and set up their chat groups and recruited for them. He also made fawning posts about the Chch shooter. He was arrested before his planned to trip to Russia, following in the shooter's footsteps.

"Wolfe" was a member of the Action Zealandia, Dominion Movement, and Wargus Christi neo-nazi groups.
RNZ has incorrectly reported these groups as "nationalist".
There is plenty of evidence that all 3 groups are neo-Nazis, with members praising Hitler, the holocaust and March 15.

The soldier had reasonable opsec, but had left enough clues for several anti-fascists to independently and categorically link the codename "Johan Wolfe" with his real-life identity.
The intelligence services were more interested in harrassing Muslims and peace activists.

We did this because we were concerned that the soldier, as an armourer in the NZ army, had access to large amounts of weapons he could use in a copycat "accelerationist" mass murder similar to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

In a version of photo outside library posted to AZ’s Telegram account, also notable that individual in it (on, literally, the far-right!) makes same white power/supremacist hand gesture as ChCh perpetrator did when he appeared in court. It is a hate symbol, openly shown. www.adl.org/resources/ha...

Their banner appears to be created with the same stencils as one outside Tūranga of Christchurch City Libraries last year. This points to a co-ordinated national campaign against LBGTQ in libraries.

Neo-Nazis are nasty transphobes, but they go further than other transphobic bigots.
They believe in a conspiracy that Jewish people are funding and encouraging a transgender movement to undermine a Christian-dominated white supremacist hegemony.

Julian Batchelor's words are part of a phenomenon known as stochastic terrorism, which is the public demonisation of a group that incites random violence against that group. There is a significant risk to Māori from a follower incited by Batchelor's rhetoric.

Julian Batchelor is singled out for his efforts to increase violent hateful rhetoric. He speaks about a conspiracy of "Māori elite" in the way antisemites talk about Jewish people.

There's been a rise in attacks targeting Māori and the Rainbow Community, with roots in conspiracy theories and white supremacist beliefs.
There was an absence of events related to public health prior to 2020. These events peaked in 2022 and had nearly vanished by 2023.

There has been an ongoing failure by frontline police and station staff to identify hate-motivated incidents accurately.
Incidents often initially attract attention because a victim or bystander posts about them on social media, and their post goes viral.
