National Front may cancel rallies in Dunedin and Christchurch after a backlash.

The white separatist group planned meetings and speeches on "white New Zealanders and our future" this week in Dunedin and Christchurch.

After those plans hit the headlines the group received "threats", spokesman Kevin Gibson said.

Several online posts made reference to attending the rallies to voice opposition to the group.

The group had been denied accommodation and hall bookings were cancelled, which Gibson believed was because of the meeting topic.

It then planned to speak in a park, which Stuff chose not to name, but Gibson said: "Our talk in a park may not be able to go ahead either due to threats."

Police said they were aware of the rallies.

Earlier it was revealed Eventfinda took down listings promoting the rallies after complaints and social media users called for their removal.

James McGlinn, co-founder and chief executive of Eventfinda, confirmed the listing had been removed and the account suspended.

Thanks for letting us know @uriohau @Phil_Wheeler @KeriHenare, the account has been suspended. Not our first encounter. https://t.co/tdQuZ1PMWS — James McGlinn (@jamesmcglinn) April 30, 2018

McGlinn referenced previous issues with the group. In January 2014, the National Front complained about Eventfinda to the Human Rights Commission (HRC).

Gibson said the aim of the National Front was "to fight anti-White and anti-Nationalist propaganda and to try to build up our own community for white people and nationalists".

He claimed "discrimination and racism" were to blame for the backlash.

In October 2017, National Front chose the land wars memorial day to march to the Beehive for its "flag day" protest, claiming it was promoting truth and diversity. A counter-protest was organised to "stop their mobilisation".

In 2009, Former skinhead, National Front leader and Christchurch mayoral candidate Kyle Chapman said he planned to set up a "unified mini-state" in North Canterbury. The proposal, a commune-style arrangement for "like-minded Europeans", drew condemnation from across the political spectrum.
