National Socialist Network

The National Socialist Network (NSN) was an Australian neo-Nazi political organisation formed from two far-right organisations, the Lads Society and the Antipodean Resistance, in 2020. The organisation, based in Melbourne, was active in all six state capitals and several regional cities. The group used the protests against COVID-19 policies and other methods, such as media manipulation and attention-grabbing, to recruit new members. The organisation, whose membership was unknown, was led by Thomas Sewell, neo-Nazi, convicted criminal and former Australian soldier.
