Australia’s far-right wasn’t just marching on 31 August — the National Socialist Network hijacked rallies nationwide, using them as displays of intimidation. Then they stacked the speakers at the end, with three NSN members speaking alongside Thomas Sewell’s lawyer. A suggestion by a Libertarian Party MP to pause immigration for five years was drowned out by NSN chants promoting mass deportation. It’s important to note that women experienced much of the NSN violence that I saw on the day. It’s a problem for the victims of NSN violence on that day, again; many women, many elderly and many Indigenous.
