Far-right groups rallied in Melbourne on Sunday, August 31, as part of the “March for Australia” mobilization, which was held in seven cities across Australia. The event promoted white supremacist and anti-immigration slogans, with organizers rejecting multiculturalism and targeting migrants, refugees, Indigenous people, and Palestinians. The march was met with a counter-protest led by anti-racist, anti-fascist, and pro-Palestine groups, who mobilized to defend diversity and challenge the rise of far-right extremism. The opposing rallies highlight growing tensions between far-right networks and anti-racist movements across the country.
