Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has been forced to flee a press conference after being confronted by neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell.
Allan and Treasurer Jaclyn Symes abandoned the media event in West Melbourne after Sewell began shouting at the premier.
‘Hey Jacinta Allan, why don’t Australians have the right to protest? Why don’t Australians have a right to protest?’ Sewell falsely claimed.
‘We’re going to take this country back from politicians like you. I’ve never see anyone shake your hand.
‘I had 500 people come up to me and shake my hand on the weekend.’
The National Socialist Network leader had been attempting to confront the Victorian Premier as she spoke to reporters.
He was also seen screaming at the Victoria Police officers who restrained him from Allan, Symes and the media pack.
‘Don’t put your f***ing hands on me!’ Sewell yelled.
As Sewell walked away, he said: ‘Heil Australia.’
The neo-Nazi leader claimed the confrontation was not planned.
He said he had left the court nearby when he witnessed the press conference and decided to seized the opportunity the confront Allan.
