the white rose society

We, as Nathan Bull’s family, are utterly devastated and remain in disbelief at his decision to join this group. From the very beginning, we made it clear that if he chose this path, we could no longer be an active part of his life. Sadly, that is the decision he made.

We are deeply concerned about the continued spread of misinformation and incorrect assumptions about our family. For clarity:

Nathan’s father has not been a member of Victoria Police for more than three years.

He is not “Luke Bull,” the officer charged and found guilty in relation to a separate matter last year.

He is in no way racist, nor did he have a negative influence on Nathan growing up.

We would also like to address a photo of Nathan shared publicly from his 21st birthday, where his father expressed pride in him. At that time, we had no knowledge of any association Nathan may have had with this group, nor any understanding of the meaning behind the T-shirt he wore. At that point, Nathan was working, engaged with his family, and we believed he was becoming a fine young man. Not long after, our trust in that belief was sadly shattered.

We respectfully ask the community and media to stop contacting us. I personally have received abusive phone calls today, including many from private numbers that I have not answered. This is deeply distressing.

We are embarrassed to see Nathan continually featured in the media and saddened by the possibility that he may never leave this group. His choices are his alone.

We hope this statement clears up some of the misinformation currently circulating, and that we can now be allowed to live our lives without harassment, due to the actions of someone who is no longer a part of our family.

Sincerely,

The Bull Family
