The Australian Government has imposed counter-terrorism financing sanctions on the white supremacist terrorist network Terrorgram, as part of our ongoing work to combat antisemitism and keep Australians safe.
Terrorgram is an online network that promotes white supremacy and racially-motivated violence.
It is now a criminal offence to use or deal with the assets of, or make assets available to, Terrorgram.
Penalties include up to 10 years' imprisonment and/or heavy fines.
It is the first time any Australian Government has imposed counter-terrorism financing sanctions on an entity based entirely online.
The Australian Government has also re-listed for counter-terrorism financing sanctions four other entities that promote nationalist and racist violent extremist ideologies: National Socialist Order, the Russian Imperial Movement, Sonnenkrieg Division and The Base.
This demonstrates the Albanese Government's commitment to disrupting the activities of terrorists and violent extremists and preventing them from recruiting and radicalising people online.
There is no place in Australia for antisemitism, hatred or violence.
The Australian Government has also imposed sanctions on Hizballah's new Secretary-General and a leading spokesperson for the terrorist group, Mr Naim Qassem.
Hizballah is responsible for the deaths of countless civilians in Lebanon, Israel and across the Middle East.
One person and another four entities have also been re-listed for counter-terrorism financing sanctions.
A consolidated list of sanctions is available on the Department of Foreign Affairs website.
