The Australian federal government has condemned a planned anti-immigration protest called 'March for Australia', set to take place in cities across the country on Sunday. The march, organised by a group styling itself as 'White Australians', has been described as hateful by the Albanese government.
The protest is being promoted by a coalition of neo-Nazi groups, so-called 'freedom fighters' who emerged during the pandemic, and other fringe organisations. The government has spoken out against the event, warning that it does not reflect the values of multicultural Australia.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and organisers have been advised that they may face legal consequences if the march incites violence or hatred. The march has drawn widespread criticism from community leaders and politicians across the political spectrum.
