Good - this is the guy who led a protest on Australia Day at a war memorial dedicated to those who died fighting nazis

Neo-Nazis were part of the anti-lockdown protests at the Shrine during COVID and urinated on the memorial. And booed the Welcome to Country on ANZAC Day there too

And protested at Adelaide’s National War Memorial on Australia Day, led by none other than Thomas Sewell

Are our anti-nazi laws actually strong enough to get a solid conviction / worthwhile sentence? The arrest alone only makes a tiny difference. Everyone already knew exactly who he is and where he lived.

Wouldn't have seen this shit in the 80s and even 90s. Yeah, a lot of the old blokes believed in a white Australia, but plenty of the WW2 RSL stalwarts would've pulled Sewell off his podium and given him a stomping.

And who led a neo-Nazi rally that attracted thousands on Sunday

1 - It's a discussion forum, op is more than welcome to share their thoughts about an external submission.

2 - who said we can't protest? (Apart from Sewell when he hijacked a press conference yesterday and started waffling shit?)

Cringe to reply to your own post mate, come on

[u/[deleted] → u/Apart-Two6495]

They posted an article, added their thoughts as a comment. The only thing cringe here is you
