    My understanding was that they were burning the ‘Stop the Boats’, which would mean they are in favour of the boats.

      There is a sign beneath it saying veterans before refugees.

      Either they really hate military war criminals or it might have something to do with right-wing nationalism.

        Exactly, they’re burning all those right wing signs. If that’s a show of support, burning something, it was a poorly thought out one.
