Several people were arrested after a group of alleged neo-Nazis has disturbed a 'survival day' rally in Adelaide.
It is understood that a survival day ends that ends at the end of the Victoria Square of the South Australian capital due to the presence of the counter-protesters.
Members of the National Socialist Network, one of the largest Neo-Nazi groups in Australia, were seen in black and waved with the Australian flag.
A police spokesperson said the Adelaide advertiser that “a number of arrests have been made.”
When the publication asked if the arrested Neonazis were, the police said they were 'not related' for the survival day March.
“The individuals are applied and more details will be provided when known,” said the spokesperson.
The police of the police of South Australia had previously warned that there would be no tolerance for extreme right-wing behavior.
“We will take a very strong position in relationship,” he said.

“There are special powers that enable us to take action for anyone who shows a Nazi symbol, publish or waves or displays the Nazi greeting and we will take action if we identify any behavior of that type.”
About 70 extreme right -wing protesters were also seen in Melbourne with a group meeting in Olympic Park Oval – opposite the Australian Open.
The Australian flag, the Red Ensign flag and the Eureka flag were spotted between the demonstrators.
The demonstration in Adelaide came after a quiet start of the morning when the local population visited Tarntanya Wama (Elder Park) for a smoking ceremony.
The annual mourning in the morning attracted a crowd of 3,000 people.
Director of Aboriginal Affairs and reconciliation Kirstie Parker was the master of the ceremony.
“This morning's event is categorized in many ways, but the one who sits with me is unity and reflection,” she said.
“It is also an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, First Nations people to say simple, sturdy and unapological and proud that we are still there and we will always be.”

Anti-Australia Day demonstrators could sing 'F *** the police' during an invasory grinder in Melbourne, because similar rallies took place in cities and villages throughout the country.
The stuffed police in Melbourne were in the middle of the singing when the public number passed 20,000 and parts of the city were stopped, with shops closed or police protection outside them.
The police even had to block the Flinders Street train station area in the CBD.
In previous years, Invasiedagrallies – organized to protest against Australia Day – often in Sydney attracted around 15,000 Marchers.
But this year the NSW police estimate that the number fell by almost 50 percent to around 8,000.
In Brisbane the figures were also far down, with the courier – mail reported that the protest barely went beyond the Queens Gardens – far away from the tens of thousands of demonstrators who attracted it earlier.
