Neo-Nazi in Melbourne Sentenced | Australia News

A neo-Nazi provocateur sentenced to 18 months of community service after staging a hate-filled protest outside Melbourne’s Chinese consulate, wielding a megaphone and racist signs, was told by the court his actions were chilling, repugnant, and eerily reminiscent of 1930s Berlin. Representing himself, he claimed free speech—but the magistrate made clear that hate speech, especially when it evokes the KKK, doesn’t qualify. With a history of extremist offenses and even threats to hang someone, Sewell—who insists Australia was founded on the racism he’s being punished for—now faces 200 hours of unpaid community work, a stark rebuke to his warped view of Australian identity.
