"When neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell appeared last week in a Melbourne court for
a bail hearing, after jail time over the attack on an Indigenous camp, his
supporters were there in force.
A lawyer in the building at the time reports how intimidating the security
staff and others found the very presence of these men, dressed in their
signature black clothing.
Earlier this month, footage of about 60 black-clad men outside the New South
Wales parliament sent a chill through many Australians, certainly those with a
sense of history.
The demonstrators had an anti-semitic banner (Abolish the Jewish Lobby) and
chanted the Hitler Youth slogan “blood and honour”.
Among officialdom, the rally has had a galvanising effect. The federal
government this week took one of the demonstrators, South African Matthew
Gruter, into immigration detention, readying to deport him.
Home Affairs minister Tony Burke says he is having continuous conversations
with agencies to ensure federal laws are adequate to deal with the neo-Nazis."
