Police were called to Restwell Street in Bankstown about 10am on Saturday after being told a 62-year-old man had been involved in a dispute with several people.
The man was wearing a United Australia Party shirt and hat.
In a statement, police said he committed an "offensive act in front of at least 3 women and one man." He was issued an infringement notice for offensive conduct as well as a move-on direction.
A Labor volunteer who was involved in the incident told SBS News she was "horrified".
The woman said the man was "aggressive and problematic" and started "abusing me, calling me moron, calling me names".
She removed herself from the situation but the man went on to "undo his zip".
