Summary:This article explores contemporary approaches to addressing the (re)emergence of right-wing extremism in Australia. It provides a broad overview of the diversity of right-wing extremism, something not commonly understood, before exploring the challenges of calibrating a policy infrastructure better suited to engaging minority communities than the majority culture.
