The Sydney Appeals court today reduced a 12 month sentence imposed on a member of the Australian Nazi Party to six months.
Joseph Facer, 21, who was sentenced on June 26 together with three other neo-Nazis after a police raid on the party’s headquarters, appealed the sentence. Police found him in illegal possession of a revolver during the raid. He said his job was to see to it that no Jews entered the headquarters.
