In the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch , New Zealand by terrorist Brenton Harrison Tarrant , expert in terrorism Greg Barton , of Deakin University in Australia ( the home country of Tarrant ) , wrote of the " toxic political environment that allows hate to flourish " . Saying that although right-wing extremism in Australia is not nearly as serious as the European neo-Nazi movements or the various types of white supremacy and toxic nationalism seen in American politics , both major parties attempted to win votes by repeating some of the tough language and inhumane policies which appeared to reward right-wing populists . He further argued : " The result has been such a cacophony of hateful rhetoric that it has been hard for those tasked with spotting the emergence of violent extremism to separate it from all the background noise of extremism "
