One of Australia's largest Defence Department-linked companies has suspended a contractor after the website Wikileaks outed her as the webmaster for an international neo-Nazi group.

Nicole Hanley is alleged to have been involved as an administrator of the neo-Nazi web forum Blood & Honour.  Her name was found after a hacked database containing private messages between the group's members was published by Wikileaks.

Hanley has published a detailed online diary of her travels to Europe last year, which included attending several neo-Nazi skinhead gatherings, visiting Adolf Hitler's birthplace, placing flowers on his parents' grave and collecting Nazi memorabilia.

It is claimed that she wrote joining in with so many hundreds of people chanting Sieg Heil together is something that will stay with me forever. She works for a defence contractor called Thales which  did not know of her background which had somehow eluded checking.

Hanley has so far refused to comment on the allegations and threatened legal action over any future reports based on the material published by Wikileaks.
