Blair Cottrell has been predicting this. While Blair, who is not a member of the NSN, is much more intuitive that Thomas Sewell, Joel Davis, and Jacob, who are more analytical, book-reading, political science aficionados, it was he who said the govt. was never going to allow the NSN or any other group to cultivate and foment resistance, and that they would just invent new laws and/or fabricate evidence to put people in jail, which is exactly what they're doing with Joel.
They're most likely going to put Thomas away for years for various assault and rioting charges stemming from the Aug. 31, 2025 Australia Day marches, where Thomas led NSN in fisticuffs against the Communists on a few occasions. I think they're going to pile on the charges and try to get him for a very long time.
When Blair was fighting the phony charges against him back in 2017, they froze his bank accounts so he couldn't pay his lawyer. Soon it will be illegal to give money to the NSN or any other restricted groups, so they won't even have money donated that they could use for appeals once that Joel and Thomas are effectively martyrs serving loooong sentences.
If they just had money for lawyers, they could fight all this. Sucks!
