Anti-immigration rallies were held across Australia this weekend, drawing thousands and sparking clashes in Melbourne and Adelaide. In Melbourne, anti-immigration protesters faced off with a pro-Palestine rally, forcing police to use pepper spray.
Adelaide’s rally ended early after tensions rose when a member of the National Socialist Network tried to speak. Sydney saw thousands march with chants like “save the nation, stop the invasion,” while counter-protesters held “no to racism” signs.
Perth and Townsville also witnessed heated moments, though heavy police presence kept things under control. What do you think these rallies are about: real concerns like housing and jobs, or are migrants unfairly being scapegoated?
