An Australian bank has frozen the accounts of a prominent Neo-Nazi leader, while a US-based technology firm has blocked the group’s attempts to solicit donations online.

The nation’s corporate watchdog has also revoked the group’s proposed company name, “White Australia”.

Despite these actions, the Neo-Nazi organisation claims it has collected 1,495 of the 1,500 signatures required to register as a federal political party.
