Neo-Nazis infiltrate March for Australia rallies

Thousands attended anti-immigration “March for Australia” rallies across Australia on Sunday, which were infiltrated by neo-Nazis in some states.

Around 5000 attended the anti-immigration rally in Melbourne, where neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell was an official speaker. Speaking from the Victorian State Parliament’s steps, Sewell stated, “We are here as Australians, proud and true and thoroughbred,” to cheers from the crowd.

Sewell claimed “his men” had led the march, with reports indicating around 150 members of the National Socialist Network (NSN) led the rally. Rebel News’ Avi Yemini and his security guards were violently attacked by neo-Nazis with footage posted online, as was the Indigenous “Camp sovereignty”.

In Melbourne, anti-immigration protesters violently clashed with the anti-Israel protesters. A pro-Palestinian protester set fire to the Australian flag, and later a Palestinian flag was burned by anti-immigration protesters. Police reported six people were arrested on Sunday.

At Sydney’s anti-immigration rally, neo-Nazis reportedly distributed flyers, addressed the crowd and led chants of “Heil Australia”.
