Vile oily rag of a man. Australia has a large problem with Nazis, they're not hugely widespread but they're extremely bold and violent.

Unfortunately half of Parliament is highly sympathetic to them and if there's anything your average Aussie hates more than a Nazi it's any sort of leftist organising.

Tom Sewer is a terrorist, they just kinda suck at it.

That said, their shift in public rhetoric is noteworthy. They've always been this kind of mask-off behind closed doors (see antifascist leaks and the joint media investigation where someone infiltrated their group with cameras on) but IIRC they tactically saught to play the 'they started it' card, avoiding explicit violence unless hit first. "Optics", you know.
