Australian 'free speech' has allowed the rise of domestic extremism.
The Australian newspaper's front page reported that an Australian neo-Nazi leader was arrested, and the victims of the attack are worried about retaliation.
Yesterday, Australian police raided Australian neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell and two other members of his organization when they left a court in Melbourne, arresting them for their involvement in a violent attack on an Indigenous protest site.
Despite the shocking images of the attack on the Sovereign Camp in Melbourne's King's Domain clearly visible, Sewell was still at large yesterday morning when he disrupted a press conference held by the Victorian government in western Melbourne.
His actions were condemned by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who described the extremists' attacks as "abhorrent" and expressed his shock at the group's "openly wearing uniforms" during a march in Melbourne on Sunday, which was part of a national anti-immigration protest.
Video footage showed that on Sunday, after an anti-immigration rally in Melbourne's Central Business District, Sewell and dozens of men in black clothes ran up to King's Domain in Melbourne, where he gave a speech.
Subsequently, Indigenous activists clashed violently with far-right extremists, with one woman being hit on the head with a pole and another woman being repeatedly kicked.
Robby Thop, the founder of the Sovereign Camp, confirmed that the police spent several hours yesterday collecting statements from witnesses and alleged victims of the Sunday attack, some of whom were reluctant to speak to the police out of fear of retaliation from far-right extremists. "They're so foolish that they don't even wear masks; they can be identified, and those who recorded videos are cooperating with the police," he said. Speaking about Sewell, he said, "He should be put in prison." In the morning, Sewell confronted the state governor, Jecinta Allen.
