An individual known for his affiliation with neo-Nazi activities is now facing charges related to the alleged online harassment of a federal Member of Parliament. The MP had publicly denounced the group’s anti-Semitic demonstration held on the steps of New South Wales’ Parliament House.

This evening, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) announced that they initiated an investigation after discovering a potentially threatening message on an encrypted online platform. The message, according to the AFP, appeared to incite others to send abusive and hateful communications to the MP in retaliation for their criticism of a National Socialist Network rally on November 8, 2025.

Through their investigation, authorities reportedly traced the message back to the suspect, leading to the execution of a search warrant. During this operation, officers confiscated several electronic devices from the accused.

AFP Detective Superintendent Jeremy Staunton emphasized that society has no room for the promotion of hatred or violent extremism, reiterating the seriousness with which the police view such threats.

AFP Detective Superintendent Jeremy Staunton said there was no place for advocating hatred or violent extremism.

“Individuals or groups who promote hatred and fear are eroding the social fabric of our community,” he said, in a statement.

“There is no place for violent extremist views, and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia’s future from these threats.”

Davis had called on supporters online to “rhetorically rape” Spender.

Asked by 9News last week if he would apologise, Davis claimed “Allegra Spender and her colleagues should apologise for their policies to do with mass immigration”.

“I get death threats and all kinds of threats all the time with what I do. It comes to the territory, so stop crying.”

Spender, the MP for Wentworth, told ABC Radio at the time that she’d referred the message to the police.

“It was pretty shocking and not something you ever, ever want to hear,” she said.

The November 8 “Abolish The Jewish Lobby” rally sparked calls for tougher laws and an investigation into why the group was legally allowed to protest outside NSW parliament. 

Police gave the green light to but both NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon and Premier Chris Minns said they were unaware of it until afterwards.

Davis was charged with using a carriage service to menace harass or cause offence, a Commonwealth offence that carries a maximum jail term of five years if proven.

He is due to face the NSW Bail Division Local Court tomorrow.
