Is Thomas Sewell a plant?

How one man is poisoning the anti-mass immigration movement

Thomas Sewell is quickly becoming the most convenient villain in Australia. The New Zealand born leader of the National Socialist Network (NSN) is not just violent, he is destructive in a way that almost seems designed to smear and discredit everyone around him.

On Sunday, while thousands marched in Melbourne’s March for Australia against mass immigration, it was Sewell who grabbed the headlines. Footage showed him kicking an unidentified person at Camp Sovereignty, a sacred Aboriginal burial site in Kings Domain. He and dozens of others charged the camp, confronting Aboriginal custodians and sparking chaos.

Instead of discussing infrastructure, housing shortages or immigration policy, the entire conversation became about one man’s violence. Sewell delivered the media exactly what they wanted - a neo-Nazi sideshow that makes every critic of mass immigration look like a dangerous extremist.

He even looks like a cop.

Sewell is not new to courtrooms or controversy. He is currently facing a string of charges, including intimidation of a law enforcement officer, breaches of safety intervention orders, and online harassment campaigns. The allegations stretch back years. He remains on bail while his latest hearing plays out.

Why is he still in Australia at all? Australia uses the “501” rule to deport New Zealanders with criminal records and bad character. Ordinary people with far less to their name have been sent home. Sewell, whose record and behaviour scream “not of good character,” has been allowed to stay.

It makes me wonder if there is something else going on. His presence at these rallies is so destructive, so perfectly timed to tarnish the broader movement, that it almost feels like a set-up. Call it a psy-op, call it infiltration, but the parallels are hard to ignore.

Sewell’s presence has all the hallmarks of the long-term undercover operations used by ASIO to infiltrate Islamic State terror cells in Australia. Those operations involved agents who were often born overseas, embedded into extremist networks for years, gaining trust and access before authorities dismantled plots. The parallels are striking. Like those agents, Sewell appears at the centre of violent, high-profile events, shaping narratives and creating chaos in a way that undermines any legitimate movement around him. Whether intentional or not, it raises the question of whether we are seeing the same kind of strategy at work again.

Maybe he is not planted. Maybe he really is just a genuine piece of filth who thrives on violence and chaos. From where I sit, his presence has the hallmarks of something bigger, something engineered to collapse the credibility of anyone who dares raise concerns about mass immigration.

Either way, the outcome is identical. Instead of a fair debate about immigration, ordinary Australians are written off as racists and neo-Nazis, all thanks to one man.

On Sunday, during the March for Australia, I captured some footage from the Rebel News livestream. At the time, I didn’t think much of it – I just noticed some neo-Nazis led by Thomas Sewell pushing and shoving. I rewatched it today and noticed again that no actual punches were thrown, the kicks had no force behind them, and most of it was just jostling.

It’s great to see these guys employers or handlers are taking health and safety seriously - this supposed neo-Nazi is wearing a mouth guard. Nice work!

Rather than targeting Avi Yemini, who they supposedly went after, they focused instead on his two security guards. If someone had genuinely wanted to get to Avi, there were multiple opportunities to do so. Isn’t it a little too convenient that Sewell and his mates just happened to cross paths with Yemini in the middle of a rally packed with thousands of people? You can watch the video yourself.

I put the video below together yesterday and posted it on X. It captures the moment he supposedly ‘attacked’ a ‘black’ security guard. You can clearly see he’s pulling his punches and not landing a clean hit. If he was really the neo-Nazi full of hate that the media makes him out to be, you’d expect him to throw with full force – but instead it looks staged, almost like WWE wrestling.

News.com.au reported on September 3, 2025, with the headline, "Calls to deport New Zealand-born neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell from Australia unlikely to succeed."

Despite a petition with over 60,000 signatures urging his deportation, Thomas Sewell, a leader of the National Socialist Network, holds Australian citizenship, having moved from New Zealand as a child.

Many New Zealanders, known as "501s," have been deported from Australia under Section 501 of the Migration Act, even those who arrived as infants. Why, then, would authorities hesitate to deport someone reportedly holding extreme neo-Nazi views?

This will probably be the last thing I write about Thomas Sewell and why I suspect he could be an undercover operative and this whole thing is a psy-op. Time will tell whether I’m right or not.

Update 0630hrs 04/09/2025 - Video emerges on the National Socialists Group’s Telegram group

NSN has released footage showing a supposed ‘fight’ with Antifa on St Kilda Road, right before Fed Square and Flinders Street Station, on the bridge heading from the St Kilda side. What stood out was that the guys in front of the main flag, like Sewell and the ones with backpacks, weren’t blurred, while those behind the flag were. As soon as ‘Antifa’ arrived, a scuffle broke out mainly with the glove-wearing guys – but the whole thing looked more like a WWE wrestling act than a real fight.
