Advocacy group slams ‘two-tier’ treatment of jailed nationalist activist Joel Davis

Australia’s leading Anglo-Celtic advocacy group has expressed serious concerns about the treatment of nationalist political prisoner Joel Davis, who has been in solitary confinement for almost two months for an alleged social media post.

White Australia and National Socialist Network activist Joel Davis, 30, has been behind bars since being arrested in Bondi on November 20 for allegedly writing “Patriots – I bid thee to rhetorically rape Allegra Spender” in response to the federal MP calling for him and other members of the NSN to be jailed for a protest against Jewish lobby influence outside NSW Parliament.

He was refused bail multiple times, and transferred to a section of Long Bay Correction Centre that the prisons watchdog last month described as “inhumane”. He was then classified as a “national security threat”, resulting in 24-hour isolation, restricted access to legal representation and phone calls, and has been denied access to books and only given irregular showers. He has also been hit with a series of new “hate speech” charges while behind bars.

Harry Richardson, President of the British Australian Community said in a statement on Monday he was “deeply concerned by the imprisonment and maltreatment” of Mr Davis, which he said pointed to the “existence of a two-tier justice system operating on the basis of political belief”.

He pointed out that while Mr Davis is known for beliefs “many Australians would find distasteful”, he has never been known for violence or terrorism, and referred to similar cases where bail has been granted.

“Under normal conditions Mr Davis would be free on bail whilst awaiting trial. Instead, he has been subjected to measures normally reserved for the most serious offenders,” Mr Richardson said.

“His treatment includes prosecution by national security units, repeated denial of bail, transfer to a maximum-security facility, and classification as a national security threat.

“This response is grossly disproportionate to the alleged conduct, and stands in stark contrast to recent cases such as an Asian man from Bankstown who, allegedly, threatened to kill an MP and her family. This man was released on bail awaiting trial.

“Such disparities give rise to a reasonable inference that ideological alignment, rather than objective risk, is influencing judicial and administrative outcomes.”

Mr Richardson went on to describe Mr Davis’s conditions in custody as “pre-trial punishment” and “an appalling weaponisation of the legal system by the government” akin to a “banana republic” rather than a liberal democracy.

“The rationale for refusing Mr Davis was the likelihood he would reoffend. When ideology itself is construed as a security risk, the presumption of innocence is hollowed out and the justice system ceases to operate impartially,” he said.

“This case also sits within a broader political environment in which governments face sustained pressure to expand ‘hate speech’ and security laws in response to lobbying by organised minority and radical groups.

“A system in which non-violent dissidents are isolated, denied bail, and escalated through security classifications while others receive leniency is not enforcing justice, it is enforcing conformity. It also confirms the hypothesis that Australia has an ethnic hierarchy in which Anglo-Celts are at the bottom.”

Mr Richardson’s statement was highlighted late on Friday night by NSW Libertarian MP John Ruddick, who asked Premier Chris Minns to read it carefully.

“This is a scandalous injustice. Even if you don’t care about that, this is turning someone (whose notoriety I assume you don’t want growing) into a martyr. He should be bailed by morning tea tomorrow,” Mr Ruddick wrote.
