ABC Radio (Northern Tasmania) – interview with Drive Presenter, Pilia Wirsu (aired 26 Sept 2017). Story about the appearance of a self-styled Neo-Nazi group on the campus of the University of Tasmania calling themselves ‘Antipodean Resistance’. The group’s particular focus is the massive intake of ‘foreign students’ to boost university coffers at the expense of jobs for Australian graduates. Dr. Dean refers to such single-issue groups like this one as ‘pop-up’ extremists because, like mushrooms, they ‘pop-up’ all over the place. Such ‘pop-up’ extremist groups also like mushrooms have a limited shelf life, unless they join forces with a larger extremist movement.
