The High Court has dismissed an application by the White Australia group for an injunction against its listing as a "hate group" under a new law put in place after the Bondi attack.

The group wanted the listing to be lifted ahead of a formal challenge to the validity of the new law set to be heard later this year.

The Neo-Nazi group is the second to be listed as a prohibited hate group under new law.

White Australia has also been known as the National Socialist Network.

The new laws make it a criminal offence to support, fund, train, or recruit for the organisation.

A hearing challenging the validity of the law is not expected until September.

High Court dismisses White Australia's bid to remove hate group listing

Australia's High Court has dismissed an application by the Neo-Nazi group White Australia (also known as the National Socialist Network) to remove its listing as a prohibited hate group. The group sought an injunction ahead of a formal challenge to the new law, arguing it infringed on political communication rights and would cause irreparable damage. The court rejected the application, citing the risk of harm if the injunction were granted.
