Police investigate assault as dozens of masked men linked to neo-Nazi group parade through Melbourne in midnight demonstration
Disturbing scenes unfolded in central Melbourne in the early hours of Saturday morning as a group of approximately 100 masked men, associated with an Australian neo-Nazi group, staged an unauthorised march through the city streets. The procession, which moved past Bourke Street Mall just after midnight, saw individuals carrying an Australian flag alongside the black-and-white banner of the National Socialist Network - a far-right extremist group known for its white supremacist ideology and recruitment tactics. One man was seen holding a sign that read: 'White Man Fight Back'. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said officers responded quickly after reports of a pop-up protest were received around 12.40am on August 9. 'Around 100 people dressed in black with face coverings marched through the Melbourne CBD,' she said. 'Police were quick to respond to ensure public order was maintained.' The group made its way through the CBD under the watch of police before moving to Flagstaff Gardens, where they dispersed just after 1.25am. However, the demonstration was not without violence. Police say a man was allegedly assaulted after confronting the group during the protest. 'It is alleged an altercation occurred during the protest where a man confronted the group and was assaulted. The man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and police will investigate the circumstances leading up to the incident,' the spokeswoman added. Despite the intensity of the scenes, no arrests were made. Police maintained a strong presence throughout to prevent further unrest. 'Victoria Police respects the right to protest however there is absolutely no place for antisemitic, racist or hate-based behaviour in our society and police will not tolerate such activity,' the spokeswoman said. Premier Jacinta Allan condemned the group in strong terms and promised tougher laws to come. 'Nazis don't belong in this country, and they know it. That's why they hide behind masks in the dark,' she told the Herald Sun. 'I thank Police who maintained the public order. It's clear they need more powers, and we're giving it to them." 'Our criminal Anti-Vilification laws come into effect next month. We will introduce powers for police to unmask cowards at protests after that. We're not afraid of these goons — but we won't tolerate them either.' An increased police presence is also being deployed in regional Victoria this weekend, with authorities monitoring a separate planned event west of the city. 'Police are aware of a planned event in Moorabool between 9 and 10 August,' the police statement read. 'There will be a visible police presence in the Moorabool area to prevent any breaches of the peace and maintain community safety.'

Royal butler's role in Depp-Heard Queensland dog smuggling revealed
Don't miss out on the headlines from Books. Followed categories will be added to My News. A celebrity fixer drawn into the infamous Australian antics of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was a former butler to the Queen who prides himself on his discretion, it has emerged. A new book documenting the Hollywood stars' tempestuous relationship reveals that British citizen Ben King, who worked as Depp's butler and house manager, began work at Buckingham Palace as a 20-year-old. He also worked for Nelson Mandela and Andrew Lloyd Webber before being hired as Depp's right-hand man, according to Hollywood Vampires: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard and the Celebrity Exploitation Machine. And King had a central role in the hullabaloo over the A-list couple's smuggled dogs. The comical scandal blew up – drawing in government ministers and making headlines around the world – after it came to light that Heard illegally brought their two teacup Yorkies, Pistol and Boo, into Australia in 2015. Back in California … Johnny Depp and Amber Heard at a film premiere in Westwood in November 2015, after their stay in Australia earlier in the year. 'Clean and elegant with impeccable manners' … Ben King testifies in Fairfax County Circuit Court in April 2022, after Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for libel. Described in the book as clean and elegant with impeccable manners, King and the drug-addicted Depp seemed an improbable pairing, but the butler employed the same approach he took with the late Queen Elizabeth. 'Trust and discretion are the two things required for the job,' he told the book's authors, journalists Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey. Yet it seems discretion was sorely lacking when King took the dogs to Queensland grooming parlour, Happy Dogz, while Depp was living in the state and filming the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2015. STREAM FREE ON TUBI: DEPP/HEARD DOCUMENTARIES Requesting the salon trim back the dogs' hair and style their faces, King revealed to the staff that Pistol and Boo belonged to none other than Johnny Depp. Thrilled to be grooming two celebrity pets, the salon owner promptly posted the pictures of the dogs to Facebook, alerting Barnaby Joyce, then Minister of Agriculture. Doggy debacle … Boo and Pistol at the Gold Coast mansion rented by Depp from motorcycle champion Mick Doohan. Credit: Nine News In the doghouse … Amber Heard, accompanied by Johnny Depp, arrives at the Southport Magistrates Court in April 2016 to face two counts of breaching Australia's quarantine laws. She paid a fine but escaped conviction after pleading guilty and expressing remorse. While Joyce ordered the dogs be taken back to the US immediately or they'd be euthanised, King was frantic with fear that he'd lose his job, according to Hollywood Vampires. Depp reportedly told his butler not to worry and one of his team smuggled the Yorkies back to the US inside a hatbox placed on the actor's private jet. The fascinating relationship between the Hollywood stars and their entourage is laid bare in the book, which reveals how Depp demanded his team procure drugs for him and how they were left to clean up after he and Heard all but destroyed a rented Gold Coast mansion during a vicious argument. An extra hotel room was always rented in case a fight broke out between the couple and they needed to be sent to their own corners. Depp was already in an agitated state before Heard arrived Down Under to join him and texted his assistant Nathan Holmes asking for drugs. He said he'd been sober from booze for nine months but he was still taking ecstasy, according to the book. Ben King's former boss, Queen Elizabeth II. British music royalty Andrew Lloyd Webber. Holmes reportedly told his boss that 'the guy', a film crew member, could only carry two grams because if caught he faced two years in an Australia prison. Depp apparently exploded: 'Any ONE of ANY of you guys start to lecture me … I just do not want to hear it … No stupid bullshit about sappy bollocks.' It was Holmes and King who were faced with cleaning up after the couple's vicious row which led Depp to losing the top of his finger. The pair had to restore the damage to the house, estimated to be up to $300,000, without its owner, Aussie motorcycling champion Mick Doohan, learning about the drama. As part of the operation, King found a woman in the countryside to make a perfect copy of an antique lampshade on which Depp had painted 'Good Luck and Be Careful at the Top'. He also found someone to replace the chunk of marble that had come off the bar in the games room. New details … Hollywood Vampires will be published in Australia on August 12. Hollywood Vampires: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard and the Celebrity Exploitation Machine, by Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey, will be published in Australia by HarperCollins on August 12.
