Comment on Neo-Nazis and politicians among protesters at anti-immigration March for Australia rallies
maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 4 days agoThank you for sharing this.
I think there will be a lot of spin about how the people at these rallies are misunderstood, not racist, have valid criticism etc.
We just got word that a friend and his brother were assaulted on a train in Sydney by racist thugs from the Sydney rally.

Honestly, the response we got about counter protesting from most people in our lives that agreed the March was bad was “Oh, but isn’t that unsafe?”.
We are a normal middle class white family and we refuse to look the other way while this happens.
I haven’t been to a protest since I was like 17, but this isn’t Australian. This is not what I want for my country. You can want immigration reform without being a bully.
I hope more people will show up.

Surely people need to understand that it’s more unsafe to let this sort of shit fester.

Exactly. We hope more every day Aussie families will join next time. The standard you walk by is the standard you accept.
