PERTH — The anti-racism group Fight Dem Back! announced on June 9 that it uncovered evidence that white supremacists plan to set up a "hit list" website called Redwatch Downunder. The site will feature names, photographs, home and work addresses, car registrations and family details of anti-racism campaigners, refugee advocates, gay rights activists and other progressives.

Fight Dem Back! said it had discovered that Ben Weerheym, who was convicted over a spate of racist graffiti attacks in Perth last year, has been soliciting information to establish the website. Anti-racism activists fear he may use the website to intimidate and harass them and, potentially, witnesses in the upcoming trial against his infamous mentor, Jack Van Tongeren.
