| Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie has maintained the stance of his Labor predecessor concerning a major white-pride event to be held in Brisbane this weekend.
The Hammered music festival is expected to draw white supremacists from Australia and overseas to a secret location in the city on Saturday.
Mr Bleijie said while he was “disgusted” by the event, banning it was out of the question in the interests of free speech. Advertisement: Story continues below
“While the government does not condone neo-Nazi or extremist beliefs, it is not illegal to hold an event such as this,” Mr Bleijie told brisbanetimes.com.au.
“The Queensland government will not ban this festival, but any attendees who incite or commit violence or racism will be dealt with by the police.”
