Outed by
Wikileaks
One of Australia's largest Defence Department-linked
companies has suspended a contractor after the website Wikileaks outed her
as the webmaster for an international neo-Nazi group.
Nicole Hanley is
alleged to have been involved as an administrator of the neo-Nazi web forum
Blood & Honour. Her name was found after a hacked database containing
private messages between the group's members was published by
Wikileaks.
Hanley has published a detailed online diary of her travels to
Europe last year, which included attending several neo-Nazi skinhead gatherings, visiting Adolf Hitler's birthplace, placing flowers on his
parents' grave and collecting Nazi memorabilia.
It is claimed that she
wrote joining in with so many hundreds of people chanting Sieg Heil together
is something that will stay with me forever. She works for a defence
contractor called Thales which did not know of her background which had
somehow eluded checking.
Hanley has so far refused to comment on the
allegations and threatened legal action over any future reports based on the
material published by Wikileaks.
