Neo-Nazi festival outrages Gold Coast locals

Residents on the Gold Coast are furious after a group of neo-Nazi white supremacists were allowed to hold a gathering on the Queensland tourist strip over the weekend.

Gold Coast Mayor Ron Clarke condemned the gathering, organised by a group calling themselves the Southern Cross Hammerskins, but said he was powerless to stop it.

The skinheads organised the gathering alongside the international hate groups Blood and Honour and Crew 38 but very little else was known about it.

Anyone who was interested in going was merely told to email an organiser named Tattooed Aryan

Queensland Deputy Premier Paul Lucas is unimpressed.

"Those sort of attitudes of that sort of people are disgraceful and disgusting," he said.

But the president of the Gold Coast North Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tony White, says there could be a case for the state government to go further if skinhead groups continue to meet on the Gold Coast and cause trouble.

"If it escalates, I think something maybe has got to be put to law by the State Government," he said.

"We know that they can bring in these laws - they ban bikie gangs, so if they can ban bikie gangs, they can ban these outlaw Nazi gangs ... if they start causing problems that is."
