Tens of thousands of anti-immigration protesters have joined March for Australia rallies in the country’s biggest cities – the largest nationalist street demonstrations Australia has seen in decades.
A crowd of more than 20,000 gathered in Sydney at midday on Sunday, while similar numbers marched in Melbourne and thousands turned up in Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth and Townsville.
The rallies were largely peaceful, but scuffles broke out in Melbourne where violent left-wing extremist counter-protesters tried to attack demonstrators and polic were forced to deploy capsicum spray against the agitators.
This is about a tenth of the March for Australia crowd in Sydney.

At the Canberra march for Australia right now. Pretty chill. Surrounded by Aussies. Pauline Hanson is here. Message is wholesome, no racists that I can see. Counter protesters are just angry and noisy, we are ignoring them. pic.twitter.com/hJvjeXxOli

NSW Police said there were “no significant incidents” during the Sydney marathon, the March for Australia rally, a counterprotest held nearby and a pro-Palestine protest Hyde Park where one woman was arrested for allegedly breaching the peace. No injuries were reported.
In Sydney the crowd filled Belmore Park before marching to Victoria Park near the University of Sydney, where attendees chanted “Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi” and “Albo has to go”.
Libertarian MP John Ruddick told the Sydney crowd he was in favour of a five-year immigration pause, prompting chants of “send them back”, and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson turned up in Canberra draped in the Australian flag.

Dozens of black-clad members of the National Socialist Network also joined the rallies, with leader Thomas Sewell making a speech in Melbourne, and NSW leader Jack Eltis and prominent activist Joel Davis both speaking in Sydney.
March for Australia organisers Bec Freedom and Hugo Lennon made speeches in Sydney and Melbourne respectively, and Mr Lennon asked the crowd to join “operation raise the colours” by flying Australian flags at their homes.
Photos posted on social media also show smaller gatherings in Mackay, Bundaberg, and Cairns in Queensland, and in Hobart in Tasmania where political commentator John Macgowan addressed the crowd.
