Former Neighbours actor Damien Richardson is under investigation after being filmed doing a Nazi salute to a crowd of far-right activists at an event in Melbourne.

Richardson, who also starred in shows such as Blue Heelers and McLeod’s Daughters, was speaking at a National Workers Alliance meeting in September.

NWA says it stands ‘for the preservation of Western culture and identity’.

‘Police are investigating vision which shows a person performing a Nazi salute, believed to be in Victoria,’ Victoria Police said in a statement.

‘The circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be established, and an investigation is ongoing.’

Before doing the Nazi salute, which was revealed by ABC’s 7.30, Richardson declared that Australia was experiencing ‘a war on men’.

‘I thought it was a war on Western tradition, Western values … and actually, it’s an anti-white male agenda.’
