The Albanese government has weighed in on the growing calls to deport neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell, claiming they would not be surprised if he renounces his citizenship because he ‘clearly hates modern Australia’.

The 32-year-old was allegedly among a group of men dressed in black who stormed Camp Sovereignty in King’s Domain on Sunday afternoon following the March for Australia rally in Melbourne’s CBD.

Footage showed Sewell and supporter Nathan Bull lashing out at people gathered at the camp, the site of remains of Indigenous people from 38 clans.

Sewell and two other men, aged 23 and 20, were charged in relation to a Victoria Police investigation into the alleged assaults on Tuesday.

New Zealand-born Sewell was charged with violent disorder, affray, assault by kicking, discharge missile and other offences and was remanded to appear back in court in Wednesday. 

Before his court appearance he ambushed a Jacinta Allan press conference, repeatedly calling the Victorian Premier a ‘coward’.

The Daily Mail revealed that almost 45,000 people have signed a petition calling for neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell to be deported back to New Zealand where he was born.

Now, Immigration Minister Tony Burke has said it would not shock him if Sewell packed up his bags and moved back across the ditch.

‘I wouldn’t be surprised if he renounces his citizenship here anyway,’ Burke told the Daily Mail.

‘He clearly hates modern Australia.’

The petition’s organiser, Constitutional Reformist, called on a change to the Australian Citizenship Act 2007 to enable a High Court deportation of Thomas Sewell back to New Zealand.

‘We are not backing down. We are evolving. And we are demanding a legal system that protects communities, not extremists,’ they said.

The approach of the petition has two steps: the first is to revoke Sewell’s Australian citizenship ‘through a court-authorised process, based on his violent extremist conduct and likely dual nationality’.

The organiser then said they want urgent reform of the Australian Citizenship Act 2007.

‘So that individuals convicted of serious hate-fuelled crimes can have their citizenship revoked and be subject to deportation with full judicial oversight and constitutional safeguards,’ they said.

Police officers arrested Sewell and two other men outside Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday at 3.20pm following an eventful morning for the far-right figure.

On Tuesday morning, Sewell warned Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan she would be ‘punished’ if he ever gained power.

‘When people like me take power, these people are going to be punished for the crimes they have committed against Australia,’ he said.

Sewell then said ‘Heil Australia’ before being seen smiling while arrested by a group of officers.

Sewell and the two other men, aged 23 and 20, were interviewed in relation to an ongoing investigation into alleged assaults in King’s Domain.

Hours later, the trio were charged with several offences each. 

The 23-year-old man, from Mooroolbark, has been charged with violent disorder, affray and assault by kicking.

The 20-year-old man, who is from Ardeer, has been charged with violent disorder, affray and discharge missile.

Sewell was charged on Tuesday with several offences in relation to a Victoria Police investigation into the affray at Camp Sovereignty. He has not entered any pleas

Prior to his arrest, Sewell had crashed the press conference of Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan where he shouted at her over her stance on the right to protest

The two young men have been bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 10 December.

Detectives continue to investigate the incident and urge anyone with any information or footage that may assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Indigenous Australians Minister Malarndirri McCarthy said the attack on Camp Sovereignty was like nothing she had seen in her nearly 10-year parliamentary career.

‘These people brazenly and openly did not care if they were seen,’ she said.
