Support is exploding for anti-immigration March For Australia rallies planned for major cities later this month in response to the burning of the Australian flag at pro-Palestine protests.
Calls for a mass pro-Australia demonstrations nationwide began following the flag burning and shutting down of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with online flyers stating “it’s time to rise” and announcing rallies at 12pm on August 31 in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.
Posts and videos about the plans then went viral on all social media platforms, and thousands of Aussies vowed to attend with their Australian flags.
Organisers have since put up an official March For Australia website and released an update on their social media channels on Monday confirming specific locations would be announced on August 15, and stressing the marches would be non-violent and no donations would be collected.
‘MARCH FOR AUSTRALIA’ in every city at 12pm on the 31st of August.
More details soon.
Enough is enough.
Australia for Australians!

They also said that foreign flags would not be welcome, and a spokesperson told Noticer News that the aim of the rallies was “to show how fed-up Australians are with mass immigration”.
“The key issue the rally seeks to address is the loss of national identity due to mass immigration,” they said in a statement.
“March for Australia is a grassroots coalition of nationalists, patriots and everyday Australians, who are united by our opposition to mass immigration. We have no affiliation to any political party or organisation.”

Australian TikToker Auspill, and political commentator Drew Pavlou are among those who have shown support for the rallies, and both spoke out in response to a video by far-left reality TV contestant-turned podcaster Abbie Chatfield, who called March for Australia a “nationwide protest for the racists”.
“It will be a peaceful march advocating for something that virtually every single Australian agrees on – that immigration has to be reduced,” Auspill said in his video.
“This has Abbie Chatfield in complete hysterics, maybe because she’s in an echo chamber where she thinks we need more immigration or something, but the truth is Australians have been ignored on immigration for a long time.
“And that’s going to come to an end on the 31st because Australians will voice this majority opinion to have an end to mass immigration.”
Abbie Chatfield hates Australians so she thinks anybody who waves a flag is an extremist. I’m going to go as an observer on August 31 and interview people. I’m against extremists but ordinary normal Australians who want to be proud of their country – they should be able to rally… pic.twitter.com/T3Pd1v3DI4

“Abbie Chatfield hates Australians so she thinks anybody who waves a flag is an extremist. I’m going to go as an observer on August 31 and interview people,” Pavlou said.
“I’m against extremists but ordinary normal Australians who want to be proud of their country – they should be able to rally and march peacefully. Why is it only leftists who can rally?”
Victorian Socialists candidate Jordan van den Lamb railed against the plans in a three-minute video on X where he called it “far-right” and claimed he’d seen videos “where migrants are warning other migrants to stay safe on August 31”.

NSW Premier Chris Minns was asked what he knew about the protest on Monday and appeared to think the question was about the National Socialist Network’s march through Melbourne on Saturday morning, and condemned the plans.
“It’s the last thing we need in a place like Sydney,” he said.
“One of the best things about Sydney is that it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we live together largely in peace, and I think it’s deplorable that you’d want to bring that division to the streets of Sydney, it’s the last thing you need in Sydney.”
NSW Police said it was aware of plans for a rally on August 31 and was monitoring the situation.
