Good evening. Tonight we can reveal the man who booed the welcome to country at the Anzac
Day dawn service in Martin Place and he's making no apologies. We track down 24-year-old Eli Tobey who's living with his parents near Penrith. It's not the first time he's been in the spotlight. He was also at a neo-Nazi rally outside Parliament
House.
Out of the shadows and into the light. I want to talk to you about your booing. Three days after a remembrance service that will be hard to forget, we decide to say boo to Sydney's accused Anzac agitator. Why did you boo at those people?
Leave me alone, please.
No, at the dawn service. He is 24-year-old Eli Tobey and while you mightn't have seen him, police will allege you most certainly heard him. All 66 seconds of he and a band of dawn service spoilers. Do you have any apology to make to the diggers, to their families?
How'd you find me?
Living at home with mum and dad. Do they know about what happened?
I haven't told them yet. I'd rather you guys not tell them.
But the secret's out and not for the first time. Here he is at last year's neo-Nazi rally outside Parliament House.
The welcoming country, it's not right.
Why is it not right?
Because it's designed to humiliate the memory of white Australia.
Do you think that was the right forum though to do it? I haven't really given much thought to be honest. But others have.
I was appalled.
Totally disgusted.
It actually made me cry.
While Saturday's shout down triggered widespread disgust, it also triggered broad debate, with the RSL now reviewing the entire welcome to country concept.
