A man has been refused bail after being charged over an alleged speech he gave during an open mic segment of the March for Australia rally in Sydney.
The 31-year-old, who held an Australian flag and walked near the front of the march from Prince Alfred Park to Moore Park, took to the microphone after the official speeches on Monday afternoon.
“All these politicians that came up here, spoke about bravery, all that bullshit, because they don’t know what it means, they came up here, gave you a bunch of words, but none of them called out the fact that the hate speech laws were pushed by the Australian, uh the Jewish lobby groups in Australia,” he allegedly said.
“They were behind it all. The Jews are the greatest enemy to this nation, they always have been, they are an enemy to Western civilisation and for thousands of years Christians and Anglos, the White man, has known that the Jew is out greatest enemy. Free Joel Davis, hail White Australia and hail Thomas Sewell.”

About an hour later when he left the rally a group of officers from the NSW Police anti-gang Raptor Squad followed him towards Central Station and surrounded him on Bourke Street in Surry Hills, where one officer told him he was under arrest for “inciting racial hatred”.
As he was placed into a police van a crowd of bystanders booed, shouted “traitors” and “shame” at police, and accused them of acting like the East German Stasi.
NSW Police later charged the man with “publicly incite hatred on ground of race causing fear”, and refused him bail to face court on Tuesday.
Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden earlier alleged at a press conference that the speech “breached, well and truly, the line of free speech to incite hatred towards another group in the community” and “incited response from the crowd, generating hate towards the community”.
Earlier in the march police pulled a different man out of the crowd and served him with a Public Safety Order requiring him to leave the city immediately, due to allegedly being an ex-member of the National Socialist Network.
About a dozen former members of the activist group, which disbanded in response to the announcement of Labor’s “hate speech” laws, were given PSOs last week banning them from going within 8km of the Sydney CBD. Breaches are punishable by up to five years in jail.
