An Australian politician says a New Zealand-born neo-Nazi leader shouldn't be deported here, despite a nearly 60,000 strong petition.

National Socialist Network leader Thomas Sewell was arrested yesterday, after gate-crashing a press conference with the Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

Victorian senator Lidia Thorpe says he's allegedly been committing hate crimes and should face the music in Australia.

"I don't think sending a white supremacist to my Māori brothers and sisters of Aotearoa is going to solve anything here."
