 Shortly after the tour's conclusion, Australia's Commonwealth Investigative Branch uncovered evidence that the British Fascists had established chapters in several Australian cities, although they did not know how this had happened.Moore believes that "it may be totally coincidental that the Australian chapter of the British Fascists was established so soon after the MCC tour", but is more likely that Gilligan and Toone brought Fascist literature to Australia for distribution.However, Moore writes that "the British Fascists' Australian operations were small beer indeed" and of little consequence.
