Not sure what the outcome of this was. I can't find any more recent news.
Court case an assault on 'Australian values', says UPF leader as rivals face offhttp://www.theage.com.au/victoria/court-case-an-assault-on-australian-values-says-upf-leader-as-rivals-face-off-20170306-gurjnx.html
Dozens of anti-racism protesters have clashed with United Patriots Front supporters outside court, after the right-wing group's leader appeared on offensive behaviour charges.
About 50 protesters and as many police officers stood outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court ahead of a scheduled court appearance by the anti-Islam group's leader, Blair Cottrell, 35, on Monday morning. It is understood a portion of the crowd were protesters parodying the extreme right.
Mr Cottrell has been charged with helping make a video "with the intention of inciting serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of" Muslims on October 4, 2015.

He has previously said on social media website Facebook that he was charged over an incident in which UPF members filmed themselves beheading a dummy with a knife outside the Bendigo council's office in a protest against plans to build a mosque.
The video reportedly shows the dummy spilling fake blood on to the pavement, and men shouting "Arabic" phrases.
Mr Cottrell is also charged with defacing a footpath and the wall of a garden bed next to Bendigo City Council offices, causing $1100 worth of damage to council property and behaving in an offensive manner near the council offices.
On Monday, the anti-facist protesters screamed slogans such as "No Nazis, never again", "Muslims are welcome, racists are not" and "You'll always lose in Melbourne, f--- off" and pushed against a police guard surrounding Mr Cottrell and his supporters as they left the court.
Outside court, he told Fairfax Media he would fight the charges, which represented a state government attack against the group, and more broadly "against Australian values".
"It's an attempt to silence us, to intimidate us, and also to create a new standard through which they can attack Australian values, break down our free speech, put us all under control."
Debbie Brennan, a spokeswoman for Campaign Against Racism and Facism, said they had organised the protest to prevent the United Patriots Front forming a "guard of honour" outside court ahead of Mr Cottrell's hearing.
"We know the importance of exercising our free speech to stop their hate speech," she said.

Outside court, Mr Shortis said the dummy was beheaded to alert people that a mosque was going to be built.
“The Bendigo residents didn’t like it, we’re concerned about Islamic migration into this country because there’s correlation to increased numbers and increased acts of terrorism,” he said.
He accused the State Government of defending Islam’s “grotesque theology”.
“Australia is founded on the separation of church and state and I’ll use the words of Jacqui Lambie: ‘not on my bloody watch’.”
