Between a Rock and a Hard Place

The ‘March for Australia’ protests were a series of anti-immigration rallies across Australia. According to reports by the ABC and The Age, some of the organisers had ties to neo-Nazis and white nationalists. In the Melbourne march on 31 August, anti-immigration protestors clashed with members of a counter-protest by a group that had merged with attendees of a pro-Palestine rally.
