Thousands of anti-immigration protesters have marched through the Brisbane CBD just one week after the huge March for Palestine.
Sunday’s March for Australia began about midday in Roma Street Parklands, before a huge crowd carrying placards and Australia flags began to flow down into the city centre, through King George Square, then down Adelaide and Edward streets towards the Botanic Gardens.
A Facebook event created for the rally stated: “Australia is changing in ways most of us never agreed to. People are waking up to a country they barely recognise. Endless migration, weak leadership, and political cowardice have brought us here, and it’s time to put a stop to it.”

There was also a counter-protest with demonstrators waving various flags – transgender rights, Palestine, Aboriginal – and banners such as “no Nazis, never again”.
