Today I attended the Adelaide Magistrates court via phone to have my current bail conditions of Non-Association with the organisation amended, for the alleged crime of Loitering and Displaying a Nazi symbol. Joel Davis who is also on Non-Association with the organisation and charged similarly also appeared by phone.
Our lawyer Matthew Hopkins made a strong case that the bail conditions were draconian and being used to stifle the political communication of our organisation, and that our charges do not reach the thresholds detailed in the Bail Act itself, to enforce anti-association.
The Magistrate declared that the Bail act was a flexible document in which he could use in this manner in order to stop "reoffending" (politically demonstrating).
The Magistrate declared that the Bail conditions were working because the accused had not "reoffended" (performed more political demonstrations). This is obviously politically motivated judgement which shows their was no intention to review the application, only to continue to prevent us from performing political demonstrations. Furthermore it's a logical fallacy, it implies the bail conditions would have to be changed if we broke them, which obviously wouldn't happen.
These statements pale in comparison to the Magistrates final statement which shows absolute Judicial bias and prejudice.
Magistrate Davis:
"... the prosecutions says the NSN has conducted many mass gatherings resulting in community distress, they organise in public places to cause maximum distress, they generate propaganda through denigrating behaviour, an example is Australia Day.
In my view there is a degree of fake innocence, my concerns is exactly what's been predicted, distress from the public, intimidation of the public, who are also expressing their right to demonstrate. (Referencing the Anti-Australia day abo protest)
The difference is Mr Sewell is charged with these offenses, I do have a real fear of further and re offending by Mr Sewell, he's the leader of a White supremacist group, he's able to coordinate and marshal a number of people coming to Adelaide, he's accused of using a Nazi type symbol, deeply offensive to a number of people, especially on Australia day, and the concerns of the victims, the victims are all of us here and elsewhere.
I refuse the application, in my view the bail is working, because there's been no further offending. I know Mr Sewell believes he is doing the right thing, he has strong views, and I want to keep the peace and move the matters ahead. I refuse the application, and list for pre-trial."
The Magistrate made it clear that I was "fake-innocent" of the charges of hurting his feelings, in which he is a victim. Despite the fact that Magistrates can't be victims in their own cases, he still proceeded with the matter and accused me of being pseudo-guilty of crimes I'm not even charged with.
The White Australian men who attended Australia Day in Adelaide this year including myself, were not charged with hurting anyone's feelings, they were charged with wearing sunglasses and a hat, standing around without police permission, and having a cross on their sleeves.
The Magistrate court of Adelaide and Magistrate Davis have proven themselves to be a Kangaroo court with zero jurisprudence. This is a blatant show of corruption as shown by the Magistrates own comments which incriminate him. His decision was not based on any crime I had allegedly committed, but the pseudo-crime of hurting peoples feelings - of which he is a victim.
Political Policing in Australia is simple - "Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."
Political Courts even simpler - "You are fake-innocent until proven guilty."
