A group of vile white supremacists gathered outside the busy Northland Shopping Centre in Melbourne.

They were filmed chanting slogans such as ‘white man fight back’ and ‘white pride’ while holding an offensive sign in the early hours of Sunday morning. 

A spokesperson for Victoria Police confirmed they were investigating an incident involving an ‘offensive banner’ outside a Preston shopping centre. 

‘There is absolutely no place for antisemitic, racist or hate-based behaviour in our society and police will not tolerate such activity,’ they added.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen described the behaviour as ‘hateful’ and ‘extremist’ and said it has ‘no place’ in Victoria. 

‘This is disgusting behaviour by a group of cowards who seek to do nothing more than intimidate and spread hatred – we will not stand for it’, she told Guardian Australia. 

Speaker and advocate Jeff Kissubi posted an image of the gathering to Instagram on Monday, claiming there were ‘no police in sight’ and ‘no immediate dispersal’.

It comes one week after a violent brawl broke out between ‘rival gangs’ at the shopping centre on the afternoon of Sunday May 25. 

Ms Allan said the government had recently passed enhanced hate speech laws which will give police greater powers to deal with people who ‘whip up hate and fear against Victorians because of who they are’. 

Those new laws will take effect from September. 

Victoria Police is currently investigating the incident.
