Right-wing anti-Islam extremist Phillip Galea

A member of a far-right group has been jailed for one month after pleading guilty to possessing five Tasers and a quantity of mercury in the days before an anti-immigration rally.

Phillip Galea, 31, was charged on Thursday with possessing five Tasers and possessing a quantity of mercury following a raid on his Braybrook home.

During an appearance before Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday to plead guilty to the charges, magistrate Jonathan Klestadt was told Galea was a member of Reclaim Australia and not linked to the United Patriots Front.

Mr Klestadt quoted Monty Python's Life of Brian in response: "Whether it's the Peoples Front of Judea or the Judean Peoples Front, it's all the same," he said.

"The aim of the group is to deflect or destroy the multicultural aspect of Australia," Mr Klestadt said.
