Australian nationalist activist Thomas Sewell has blasted the corporate media in a fiery interview after facing court over an alleged counter-protest against illegal immigration in Melbourne.
Mr Sewell, 32, appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday charged with “offensive behaviour” over the alleged October 2024 rally where he and a group of about 30 then-National Socialist Network activists allegedly held a banner saying “fuck off, we’re full” near the Home Affairs office in Docklands.
Three other former members of the now-disbanded group – Joel Davis, Nathan Bull and Timothy Lutze – have also been charged over the alleged demonstration, held in opposition to hundreds of far-left extremists and so-called refugees who were demanding to stay in Australia forever.
There were no clashes between the rival protest groups, but police used pepper spray on the NSN activists and struck them with batons, leading Mr Sewell to be charged and convicted of police intimidation for comments made about one of the officers on a podcast following the rally.
Mr Sewell spoke to a 7News reporter, Jacqueline Stanley, outside court following the hearing, where he asked why the media refused to talk about the demographic replacement of White Australians, and described the proceedings as a waste of taxpayer money.
When the reporter put it to Mr. Sewell that “the taxpayer wasn’t happy with what they saw at that rally”, Mr Sewell responded by saying “you don’t speak for the taxpayer, you’re part of a corporate entity that is anti-Australia”.
“I think you’ll find the average Australian does not want thousands or millions of illegal Indian immigrants staying in the country. And that’s what we were protesting against,” he said.
“There were thousands of self-entitled despicable people that think it’s their right to be a part of our nation, and they were protesting outside Tony Burke’s office, who, might I add, deported healthy wholesome White families from this country.”
The interview was then interrupted by a heckler who Mr Sewell described as a “fat disgusting dork” and told to “shut the fuck up”.
“The primary issue in Australia, and the whole Western world, is White replacement. That is the primary issue, that’s the only thing we actually want to talk about,” he continued, and then objected to the reporter looking at her phone.
“You’re looking to change the subject, because the media do not want to talk about this subject. They don’t want to talk about White replacement. We want to reverse the process, we don’t want Australia turning into a third world country, we don’t want it turning into India, we don’t want it turning into Sudan,” he said.
“We want it to remain Australian. That is the primary issue, and you always want to change the subject and attack the man.”
The reporter then asked “guilty or not guilty”, Mr Sewell responded “not guilty”, the reporter said “thank you, done”, and Mr Sewell said “fuck you, you’re scum” as she walked away.
“They don’t want to talk about the big issues, what they want to talk about is ‘are you guilty or not guilty’ for this minutiae that doesn’t matter. We protested foreign immigrants that are demanding to that they stay in the country.”
He then called the “fuck off, we’re full” slogan an “ancient Australian proverb” and said “hail Australia” before walking away.
The court was told Mr Davis, who also appeared in the same court on unrelated charges, would be requesting an adjournment as he was making a fresh application to be released on bail in Sydney on separate charges relating to an alleged Telegram post, Newswire reported.
Mr Lutze also requested an adjournment to seek legal advice, and Mr Sewell and Mr Bull asked for their cases to be heard alongside his, which was granted by Magistrate Vincenzo Caltabiano. The accused will appear in court again on July 10.
The far-left demonstration at the centre of the counter-protest was billed as a “closing rally” after police ordered a group of immigrant protesters to pack up a noisy encampment outside the Home Affairs office on Bourke St where they had been protesting for 100 days.
David Glanz, a Jewish pro-refugee activist who helped organise the protests, said at the time that the demonstration was “a real festival of resistance, celebrating the incredible sacrifice that refugees have made with 100 days of round-the-clock encampment”.
The “refugee” activists, who has also staged protests in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, were also organised and supported by anti-Australian left-wing extremist organisations including Socialist Alliance, and were involved in ugly clashes with police and members of the public.
They were also backed by the Victorian Socialists, who want to “radically reorganise society” and aim to abolish capitalism and create a classless socialist republic in Australia.
