AUSTRALIA MP BOB KATTER DISTANCES HIMSELF AFTER NEO‑NAZI‑LINKED ‘RUNE MEGAPHONE’ APPEARS AT ANTI‑IMMIGRATION RALLY

Federal MP Bob Katter says he has no links to a neo‑Nazi group after footage showed him briefly speaking via a corded mic near a black, rune‑marked megaphone at a Townsville anti‑immigration rally. Similar ‘rune megaphones’ were seen with National Socialist Network members in Melbourne and Perth, signaling far‑right co‑opting of late‑August rallies. The incident follows Katter’s clash with a TV reporter and renewed calls for accountability, as officials and observers warn of extremist mainstreaming around anti‑immigration events.
