The Anti-Defamation Commission says it wants the federal government to classify neo-Nazi groups as terrorist organisations. The call comes after a group of neo-Nazis clashed with police and counter-protesters at an anti-immigration rally in Melbourne. Police used capsicum spray during wild scenes that erupted outside the state parliament where a group of masked men dressed in black performed the Nazi salute. The Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, Doctor Dvir Abramovich, told Greg Dyett neo-Nazi groups should be categorised as terrorist organsations.
