Post mike-enoch-says-he-will-visit-australia-for-dingoes-conference Guardian

Rightwing Australian nationalist group the Dingoes claims leading US far-right figure Mike Peinovich, known as Mike Enoch, will be speaking at their Sydney conference in July.

Enoch used his May podcast to apparently confirm his attendance at the conference, telling listeners he would be in Australia in a couple of months.

A post by the Australian Facist Facebook page on Sunday announced Enoch would be at DingoCon and told people to message the page to book tickets.

Enoch’s podcast, The Daily Shoah (a reference to the Holocaust), promotes white nationalism, and Enoch frequently uses racist and disparaging terms for non-white people. An avid conspiracy theorist, he is a hero of the Dingoes, a group of disaffected white Australian men.

The Dingoes describe themselves as “politically-incorrect larrikins in our national tradition who take great enjoyment in ridiculing the grievance-mongering of our media and imported popular culture”.

“We’re tired of being told to be ashamed of our past as settlers, soldiers, pioneers and Europeans,” their website says. Many of the creators of the site use pseudonyms such as “Digger” and “King Bogan”. Their podcast has attracted guests including former federal Labor opposition leader Mark Latham, who has appeared twice, and federal Nationals MP George Christensen.

Tickets to the Dingoes conference, dubbed “DingoCon”, are selling for $88.

“As many of you know our guest speaker for DingoCon is Mike Enoch from the Right Stuff and The Daily Shoah,” a post written on the Australian Facist Facebook page reads. “We are very excited to have him come to the conference and we hope to see you there too!”

Guardian Australia has contacted the Dingoes for comment.

The office of the foreign affairs minister, Julie Bishop, was yet to respond to questions from Guardian Australia about whether an application for a visa had been received from Enoch.

The Dingoes use the hashtag #DingoTwitter to share their affection for the US president, Donald Trump, and to rally against feminism, immigration, Islam, Judaism, and multiculturalism.

Enoch’s identity as Peinovich was revealed by activists in January on the website Medium, which revealed Enoch was in fact Mike Peinovich, a former tech worker who was living in New York. The hackers also revealed that Enoch’s wife was Jewish, and the pair have since separated.

Last month, Enoch said he would never defend Trump again after Trump launched airstrikes on Syria. Despite extensive evidence, Enoch believed chemical attacks launched by Syria against its own people were fake, and that therefore the US should not use its resources becoming involved in military action.
