In short:

Thomas Sewell has uploaded antisemitic and homophobic rants to social media platform Instagram, despite his Neo-Nazi group National Socialist Network being banned by the government.

ABC NEWS Verify has geolocated the videos to a property in Victoria, owned by the former director of a logistics company.

What’s next?

Sewell has launched a legal challenge in the High Court against the federal government’s laws which banned his group.

Neo-Nazi leader and convicted criminal Thomas Sewell is covertly broadcasting hateful views on Instagram weeks after his organisation the National Socialist Network (NSN) was formally listed as a hate group by the government.

ABC NEWS Verify can reveal that Sewell has posted antisemitic and homophobic diatribes to the platform from behind a sparkling Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo mask which the NSN has used previously in propaganda material.

Though his face is obscured, the position of a light switch, bookshelf and items on the bookshelf on Instagram match the background of another video Sewell appeared in unmasked on video streaming site Rumble in January.
