Robert Edhouse, 20, a member/leader of Perth's Aryan Nation (a group who spend their time shooting at mosques and posing for photos in all the best nazi gear, while bragging that elements of WA Police support what they're doing), and three accomplices (one a child) have been charged with murdering a 42 year old father in Girrawheen.

The rise of the far right in recent years has been mostly in social media, and hasn't really translated to any large numbers at rallys or registration of the United Patriots Front's "Fortitude" political party pipe dream. But it sure has inspired the crazies.
Perth might be an exception though, its the whitest and most far right friendly of Australia's major cities - and a not insignificant percentage of its residents are English and South African white nationalists.
NOTE: the article on perthnow has since removed Mr Edhouse's name, but it was published earlier today.
This isn't the first recent high profile arrest of someone linked to the patriot movement either. A few months back a Canberra based white nationalist nazi and UPF supporter was busted with kilos of illicit drugs, steroids and unregistered firearms - not long after a Melbourne nazi, Phil Gallea, was caught trying to orchestrate a taser attack on the ANTIFA heroes who have been routinely embarrassing the Melbourne based UPF on the streets.
Chris Shortis, one of the last 3 active members of United Patriots Front, has also posted videos brandishing guns and quoting the bible in fire and brimstone terms. This lead to the police coming and taking his guns away, possibly preventing a massacre.
The Australian police do an admirable job of anti terrorism work. Probably a bit too keen to arrest and the laws allow them to act with a bit too much freedom, but they do it better than most and overall Australians have very little to fear from terrorism.
But with the recent rise of these Patriot and White Nationalist groups, would it not be ironic if the groups who claim to be primarily focused on ending the threat of Islamic terrorism before it starts (by, presumably, ending all muslims who currently live in Australia) were actually the greatest threat to everyday Australians' safety?
Take young Robert for example, he may look like a fat nerd with overly violent fantasies but.... actually thats exactly what he is. The same exact prototype as Islamic suicide bombers.
EDIT: Former members of UPF are now also claiming these guys were all active core UPF Perth members as well as white nationalists. Colour me surprised.
