Editing True Blue Crew (section)

===Terrorism and criminal activities===
On 25 June 2016, police seized weapons including a knife and knuckle duster during an "Australian Pride" rally.

In August 2016, a member of True Blue Crew, Phillip Galea, was charged with terrorism-related offences, including collecting or making documents to prepare for terrorist acts and carrying out acts in preparation for a terrorist act. Police investigators said that Galea was linked to several far-right groups including Reclaim Australia, United Patriots Front, True Blue Crew and the openly neo-Nazi group [[Combat 18]]. Galea was accused of ordering ingredients for explosives and video footage seized in raids showed Galea carrying out reconnaissance of a target, the documents allege. His intended target was a small anarchist bookshop on a busy main road in Northcote, Victoria, opposite Northcote High School. Police stated that “Galea outlined his intentions were to cause as much devastation to these locations as possible in a team coordinated attack, using smoke bombs and [[improvised explosive device]]s”. Galea was accused of researching homemade bombs, ballistic armour and guns, preparing a terrorist document entitled “Patriot’s Cookbook”. Galea is incarcerated at the Thomas Embling Hospital, a high-security mental health facility.

In the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings in March 2019, it emerged that the alleged perpetrator, [[Brenton Tarrant]], had three years earlier given fulsome praise to [[Blair Cottrell]] as a leader of the far-right movements on social media. He made more than 30 comments on the now deleted UPF and TBC Facebook pages, singling out Cottrell for praise and disparaging [[Neil Erikson]] and Shermon Burgess as "useful idiots". The group was banned from Facebook after posting Islamophobic messages in the wake of the Christchurch massacre.
