Nationwide March for Australia protests have attracted significant attention as organisers call for an \u201cend to mass migration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protests have been broadly criticised amid concerns about the potential presence of neo-Nazis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many people have also defended the rallies, arguing that participants have genuine concerns about mass migration in Australia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisers of the march have called for an \u201cend to mass migration\u201d and expressed concerns about \u201canti-Australian hatred\u201d and \u201cdisintegrating trust\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is expected to be a heavy police presence as the marches kick off from 12pm at Sydney’s Belmore Park, Roma Street Parkland in Brisbane and Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further March for Australia rallies have been scheduled in Hobart, Darwin and Townsville – as well as counterprotests in several cities.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nationwide March for Australia protests have attracted significant attention as organisers call for an \u201cend to mass migration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow finance minister James Paterson told Sky News Sunday Agenda he had serious concerns about the presence of neo-Nazis at the rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m sure there will also be Australians who are not neo-Nazis there today who are sincere in their concerns, but I would encourage Australians to avoid protests,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are not the only protests that have occurred in our country over the last two years that have struck fear in the hearts of some Australians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
