Thomas Sewell addressing the crowd in Melbourne during March for Australia.
On Sunday, August 31, March for Australia anti-immigration protests took place in approximately 20 cities across Australia, including all state and territory capitals and several regional cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, etc. Notable attendees included One Nation party leader Pauline Hanson, Senator Malcolm Roberts, and federal MP Bob Katter. But the most coverage I have seen was for Thomas Sewell and his National Socialist Network (NSN) in Melbourne.
Estimates of attendance vary widely. Lamestream sources reported that there were about 5,000 attendees in Melbourne. But on Telegram, Sewell claimed that there were “clearly well over 50,000 and continues for over a kilometer down Bourke St without end” and with video footage to buttress his claim. XYZ reported that, “Huge numbers also marched in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra and Perth, totaling between 100,000–200,000 across the country.” And on X, March for Australia posted several pictures from across the country showing massive crowds.
The Left followed their old, worn-out playbook of pretending to be victims of violence that they themselves instigated. At the start of the Melbourne march, various Leftists attacked the front of the march in an attempt to shut it down. But the NSN successfully fought back, and the march proceeded. Joel Davis posted a video showing the crowd cheering and high fiving the NSN after they broke through antifa.
After the march, the NSN and their leader Thomas Sewell supposedly attacked some indigenous people and their liberal allies at the nearby “Camp Sovereignty” because they are mean people. However, mainstream sources conveniently omit that the camp was being used as a base of operations for leftists to attack patriotic rally goers. Noticer News reports that witnesses saw large numbers of attackers swarm 2–3 isolated people at a time. Camp Sovereignty is an unlawful encampment reminiscent of Seattle’s CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) during the 2020 Summer of Floyd.
Obviously, Camp Sovereignty should have been broken up long ago by law enforcement. Obviously, leftists should have been prevented from sallying forth to attack protesters. That is a job for law enforcement as well. But the police have chosen to do their true job of defending the system by not doing their stated job of maintaining order. This forces the Right either to suffer violence or legal proceedings. I’m sure the NSN knows this and decided that any legal damage was worth it, especially if it helps further legitimize them while delegitimizing the regime.
Some claim that the NSN infiltrated the event and was poorly received, but Thomas Sewell posted a video of himself speaking to a large crowd that received him well. In contrast, when another organizer invited an Indian to speak, the Indian was booed off stage.
I found this part of Sewell’s speech to be on point:
Australia is beset on all sides by ginormous empires of the third world. We don’t have to hate these people, or set them up as our enemy, but there are 1.4 billion Chinamen, and 1.4 billion Indians, and there are billions of other people in this world, and they all have a nation, they all have a home. And if we allow ourselves to be replaced and displaced in this land, if we do not maintain our demographics, if we do not stop immigration, then our death is certain.
I’ve never seen a white liberal demand, or even suggest, that nonwhite countries fling their borders wide open too. You would think that these poor developing nations could enrich each other. For example, Indian curry would be quite an upgrade from Haitian mud cookies. They may not have high IQs, but they still have the wisdom to preserve their homelands.
It was also satisfying to see Thomas Sewell press the Victoria Premier (the US equivalent of a state governor), Jacinta Allan, about why Australians don’t have a right to protest in their own country. Sewell also pointed out that he had over 500 people shake his hand that day while he has never seen anyone shake her hand. Allan was unable to muster an answer to Sewell in person, but she did post a video on X in which she mouthed several empty platitudes about hate, division, and standing up for all Victorians. Except apparently those Victorians who oppose mass migration. She was roasted in the replies.
The March for Australia does not seem to be a flash in the pan. One of the organizers, Hugo Lennon, called on people to participate in Operation Raise the Flag to stand in solidarity with the English and their ongoing Operation Raise the Colors. Lennon also said that a second March for Australia is planned for Australia Day, which is January 26.
Predictably, the state has cracked down in response. The Telegram channel White Australia reported that Thomas Sewell and two other NSN members were detained as they were leaving Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday. This was in relation to the tussle at Camp Sovereignty.
At first glance, this seems similar to Charlottesville in that leftists came to a large, preannounced event to instigate violence so that when the Right defended themselves, their friends in the state and media could swoop down with lawfare. But March for Australia is fundamentally different from Charlottesville. There is significantly broader public support and larger rally attendance.
In what appeared to be a response to Australia’s latest anarcho-tyranny, Jacob Hersant posted a short video on Telegram. He stated in part that, “Our people know that we’re the only honest ones in a sea of cynicism. In contrast to the cuckservatives, we don’t preach inoffensive and banal truisms in order to prevent our being insulted or censored or harassed or prosecuted or even imprisoned.”
One of the best ways to defeat anarcho-tyranny is to prevent the Left from isolating their targets. While the NSN is much less isolated than the Alt Right at Charlottesville, they and their leaders such as Thomas Sewell, Jacob Hersant, and Blair Cottrell were all banned from Elon Musk’s “free speech” platform around February of this year. While others can and do advocate on their behalf, they should be able to speak for themselves.
Elon Musk should reinstate their accounts if he is serious about promoting free speech and resisting the Great Replacement.
The most comical response to Thomas Sewell’s newfound notoriety is the campaign to have him deported for being an undesirable immigrant in Australia. Sewell is originally from New Zealand and has dual citizenship. This is a debate we can’t lose. After all, doesn’t the mainstream, both Left and Right, claim that “Anyone can be Australian”? If that is no longer true, then what other kinds of people are bad fits for Australia? If Thomas Sewell can be denaturalized and deported, why not tens of thousands of nonwhite criminals as well? If not, why not? Thomas Sewell is obviously willing to risk arrest for his cause. If he is actually denaturalized and deported, let’s hope millions of nonwhites will follow. If not, it would only underscore that the regime does not have double standards. Indeed, they fanatically adhere to their one and only standard: being antiwhite.

Great article bringing attention to the recent events in Australia – they were massive and deserve wide coverage and support. It’s been great to see some other voices in other countries, like Steve Laws in Britain, Laura Towler, and some other PA related people come out in support of the NSN and publicize the march.
There’s also some hilarious footage of Jacinta Allen’s motorcade being chased out of town in Ballarat, Victoria (a famous town in Australian history for the gold rush Eureka Stockade) by angry farmers in their tractors on August 29. There’s also some great footage of her being booed and heckled on stage while she was at the Bush Summit in Ballarat. You can find it posted by ‘Australians vs. The Agenda’ on Telegram and X/Twitter. It truly shows how hated Jacinta Allen is, in contrast to how many admire Thomas Sewell.
Jacinta Allen is similar to former NZ politician Jacinda Ardern. Both are fashionably “woke”. Both are willing tools of the (((globalists))).
Great article. We need more reporting, reflection on real activism. Anti-white multiculturalism is collapsing around the world, and we are in for a fight for the white homeland. I’m now preparing a magazine in Czech about the demise of Rhodesia and South Africa. We need to support our white cause!
Thank you for this information, David. You’re really good at reporting on events like this. And that video of the NSN plowing through the cocksure scruffians that came up to meet them on the sidewalk was a delight to watch.
As great as Sewell is at giving awesome speeches, and at rallying folks to defend themselves, their culture, & their nation, to be honest, I do always remain slightly skeptical of the total loyalty of “dual-citizens.”
Over gab I received an invite from national socialists in Australia to join their cause for Australia. Australia does sound like a fun adventure, but I have to stay focused on where I will be able to do the most good for Whites: in my free-speech, & gun-loving homeland, America.
A dual-citizen has a divided loyalty. However, Australia and New Zealand are closely related, like first cousins. If you are loyal to one, then you will be loyal to the other.
However, dual-citizens of Israel and the US are loyal only to Israel. They are traitors to the US, by definition. And AIPAC should be registered as a foreign lobby. And anyone serving in the Israeli military should have his US citizenship revoked, with deportation back to Israel.
Yeah. I think that people are wrong to say dual-citizens with Israel have divided loyalty, because that implies they have some loyalty to the US, too. 😛
The antipodes (NZ & Australia) share ancestral heritage, origin stories (Cook charted NZ & Australia’s rich east coast), developmental milestones, economies, free migration, military history & trans Tasman sporting rivalries (Australia asendent in cricket, NZ in rugby union). At no stage in our history has a New Zealander ever been considered foreign except since the clown world regime demoted Anglo-Aussies to the status of Aborigine-killing migrants rather than the founders of the nation. Australia & NZ very nearly became a single nation at Federation in 1901. Sewell claims his father grew up in Rhodesia, which has v. similar albeit somewhat weaker ties to Australia.
Great article, Australia needs to get its white birth rates up. 🙃
It was fairly glorious. Now Sewell is in jail with 15 new charges laid against him, but I hope it all works out to the good.

Two-tier “justice” in Australia. The loony left commit all the violence. They receive funding and legal protection from the globalist traitors running the government. The regime ignores their crimes. Instead, the regime charges peaceful protestors.
A recent example in Minneapolis is the trans-terrorist, Robert Westman. Its mayor, Jacob Frey, covers for him.
To be “fair”, Sewell and crowd were violent too, but in a glorious way. Antifa types tried to block the march and the NSN boys beat them up and sent them packing. Later, groups of cowardly leftists were attacking lone patriots and small groups of two or three people – just regular folk, some of them elderly, leaving the march – beating them up and vandalizing their cars. Sewell and his men charged up the hill where they were camped and gave them a beating in return. This is the kind of thing the police would have done themselves in bygone days.
Sewell has shown us the winning strategy of enforcing standards at these events. He prevented foreign flags from being flown, kept everyone on message, and prevented boomer-con civ-nats from hijacking the event. You just know if it wasn’t for him, some Indian with an Australian cricket shirt would’ve weaseled his way onto stage and said “It’s not about race it’s about ideas, I’m Australian, anyone can be Australian”. The energy would’ve immediately dissipated and we’d be thrown right down the path of civic-nationalism nonsense again.
One idea I think could work for advancing the cause in the UK is to start “community escort for families”, call it the “Rotherham Red Squirrels” who “In light of the Casey Report and the grooming gangs, are taking actions to keep our kids safe”. Just start it off with a small group, wearing a red shirt, walking a set route each day in an area at risk for white kids. Hand out fliers and advertise on social media that it’s in response to the grooming gangs, quote the Casey Report about the institutional failures of the police, and how even the police were involved. Have the leaders be a mother and father couple who are genuinely concerned about their kids. Even if they cracked down on the movement and prosecuted the members, it would be a massive PR loss for the state, American accounts and media would instantly highlight the oppression. And they cannot arrest and prosecute these people without bringing up the grooming gangs yet again, the last thing the British government wants. Embedding “Rotherham” in the name is a clear reference, but one the BBC and others will not want to talk about. Muslims and Pakistanis, for their part, will not be able to help themselves and will start moaning about “racism”. You’d be forcing them into a PR fight that results in a pyrrhic victory for them at best.
But if it does get through, you’ve normalized wearing uniforms as well as flying the flags, and have carved out another expression of ethno-nationalism. Plus it does actually work to keep kids safe, it’s not even a cynical political strategy, at its heart it’s true. You do need community patrols to properly deter what happened in Rotherham.
There’s now so much video evidence of non-whites openly bragging about taking over in western countries. What would be very effective for these demonstrations is a large screen playing for the crowd exactly what they’re saying. With the resources available, how hard would a “movie night” be in a park or stadium be to host for the normies, with a great complication of all the anti-white rhetoric and the consequences of doing nothing. You do that and give a speech afterwards, and the mood would be set to shift the overton window very far.
Australia is an important barometer of how open the masses (normies) are to the urgent message that White survival is an urgent priority that can no longer be taken for granted. Even the complacent cannot help noticing that politicians in our homelands are not working for our interests; and, in fact, seem to be working against us. Very few, though, are willing to take a stand in even the mildest protests. The brave young Australian men standing up, and all who stand with them, are heroes!
David Zsutty writes in a clear, focused, energetic and engaging way; the same manner in which he speaks on his Counter-Currents Radio appearances. I am so thankful for his contributions.
Huge turnout at the one I attended in Brizzy. When I got there, I heard a bit of a ruckus and sure enough, I spotted one of those ‘Antifascist Action’ flags, so I walked back around to have a look. Not a ruckus after all, but a piss-poor showing from the motley crew of stupid looking ugly nutcases swearing and carrying on. They got laughed at and of course they had a police escort. Apart from that, I never saw any ‘counter protesters’ again. There was a massive police presence of course, but when streets are blocked off they are going to be there anyway.
Quite a ‘party atmosphere’ all around. Lots of funny chants and quite a few characters in the crowd. It was a bit like a large sporting event crowd on a march; everyone was having a good time.
