Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

just minutes away from each other in the same suburb.

7am

And so I went out there and locals had told me they had seen some of the Nazis around.

7am

And then Sewell's Nazi group actually filed some paperwork, which had the address of the compound listed.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

So I could finally confirm it last month.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

I didn't have to do a door knock after all, thank God.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

Yeah, so Marty Featherstone, he hadn't really been on our radar before.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

He's the son of a wealthy family who run a multi-million dollar trucking business in Melbourne.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

They sold that fairly recently and he's become a really wealthy man.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

He didn't end up coming back to me and my questions, sadly.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

I would have loved to have heard more of his story, but certainly online he calls himself a white nationalist, a proud racist.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

He's been out with the NSN marching at recent March for Australia rallies that they helped organise.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

He posts some pretty extreme things, including about putting parliaments to the sword and bashing people of colour.

7am

And he says that he can speak out for Sewell's group because he can't be cancelled or fired the way other neo-Nazis in the group have when they've been unmasked.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

So when I went back through some of the photos we took, because we actually got a tip in January about where the NSN was holding its final Nazi training session back when they claimed to have disbanded.

7am

And I found him there in the pictures right next to Sewell.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

There he was.

7am

And the interesting thing was that he was wearing the white wristband that denotes long-term membership of the NSN.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

And when I spoke to some sources, they told me, oh, yeah, Marty's a proper member.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

So that started to kind of join a few dots for me then.

7am
Inside the Neo-Nazi compound funded by millionaires

Yeah, so the government banned the NSN and its political offshoot, White Australia, last month under the new extremism crackdown.
