Two MPs, Allegra Spender and Kellie Sloane, have reported threatening messages they received to the police, after they both condemned the neo-Nazi rally that took place outside NSW Parliament on Saturday.
The rally was attended by about 60 men, who were dressed in all-black outfits and stood outside Parliament’s Macquarie Street gates while holding a banner targeting “the Jewish lobby” and chanting antisemitic slogans.
Following the rally, Spender — an independent federal MP — shared multiple posts on X, including one describing the gathering as “appalling” and “seeking to spread vile hatred against Jewish people”.
State MP Sloane, the member for Vaclause, also denounced the rally and called for the attendees to be jailed in an X post, per the ABC.
The posts led to Spender being the subject of a message sent in the neo-Nazi group’s Telegram channel, which allegedly read: “Patriots – I bid thee to rhetorically rape Allegra Spender”. The message reportedly linked to Spender’s original X post.
Sloane also received dozens of violent and hateful messages on X on Sunday, which The Guardian reports included death threats. She later deactivated her X account and said the messages were “concerning enough to forward to police” during an interview on ABC Radio this morning.
“I think there are a lot of keyboard cowards, and I’m a pretty resilient individual, and I’m not easily bothered by these things,” Sloane said.
“I won’t be intimidated by them, and I won’t stop speaking up about behaviour that is racist and offends the majority of decent people in New South Wales.”
Spender also rebuked the messages in her own statement. “This is an extremely tiny group of extremist thugs who represent no one,” said Spender, per The Guardian.
“The best of Australia is welcoming and supportive of our vibrant multicultural country,” she added.
In a statement provided to PEDESTRIAN.TV, NSW Police said detectives “commenced an investigation following reports two women allegedly received threatening messages via a social media platform on Sunday 9 November 2025.
“As inquiries continue, anyone with information is asked to call Eastern Suburbs Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
NSW Premier Chris Minns — who is facing questions around why the rally was allowed to take place — responded to news of Spender and Sloane’s police reports earlier today.
“[It is] another example of what particularly women in public life have to put up with,” Minns said.
“My hat’s off to both of them, the fact that they’re prepared to stand up, put their views, put their beliefs for civic life in New South Wales,” he added.
Minns said he was unable to answer questions about who was to blame for allowing the neo-Nazi rally to go ahead because he wasn’t involved in its approval.
Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said police received a form 1 application for the rally in late October but that it wasn’t raised directly with him, while Minns said he “wasn’t part of the review” into the group’s form 1 application.
The premier added that the government would consider expanding the ban on Nazi symbols to “Nazi speech, Nazi behaviours on Sydney Streets”.
