Neo-Nazi organisation White Australia's bid for temporary immunity from being listed as an illegal hate group has been put on ice but the High Court could decide the matter as soon as June.
The group, previously known as the National Socialist Network, is seeking to overturn the government's hate speech legislation and wants an injunction to effectively block the home affairs minister from outlawing it.
"The aim of the injunction is to prevent the government from using this legislation to arrest or imprison me while the High Court determines this legislation's constitutional validity," top neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, who lodged the case, said in a post on Telegram ahead of the hearing.
