The Real Romper Stomper

The current rise of Antisemitism and “White Power” groups in Australia is not unprecedented.

 

In fact, as recently as 1992, Russell Crowe’s career was launched by his role as a brutal skinhead in the seminal Australian film Romper Stomper.

 

Andrew Kirby is one of the men that movie was about and he joins us to talk about Neo Nazism in Australia, and his subsequent internal journey to reform.
