00:44Australia's major cities are preparing for heightened tensions as right-wing protests
00:48against mass immigration are set to take place on August 31st.
00:53Police in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra are on alert following
00:59viral online promotion of the events.
01:02The full version of this coverage is available on our website, link mentioned in the description
01:07below.
01:09Let's begin with planned anti-immigration protests.
01:16In early August, flyers and videos promoting the March for Australia began circulating widely
01:21on platforms like X and TikTok.
01:24The rallies, planned across six major cities, are being positioned as a stand against mass
01:29immigration, sparking deep political and social divisions online.
01:40Next we explore the role of far-right groups in rally promotion.
01:45The domain MarchforAustralia.org was registered on August 8th, inviting supporters to attend
01:51or volunteer.
01:53Investigations reveal that far-right and nationalist social media accounts have been actively boosting
01:58the events, intensifying concerns among immigration advocates.
02:04Moving on to public backlash and concerns over racism.
02:09Critics argue the rallies are rooted in xenophobia and racism.
02:13Warning that such gatherings may pose safety risks for immigrants.
02:17Activists stress that these events undermine Australia's multicultural identity and fuel harmful
02:22stereotypes.
02:25Then we examine recent related demonstrations in Australia.
02:30The protests follow a neo-****** march of around 100 individuals in Melbourne on August 9th,
02:36as well as a pro-Palestine march across Sydney Harbour Bridge that attracted an estimated 90,000 participants.
02:43The scale and nature of recent demonstrations highlight the growing polarisation in public
02:47discourse.
02:50Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.
02:54With the March for Australia approaching, tensions between nationalist groups and pro-immigration
02:59advocates are intensifying.
03:01Authorities remain on high alert to prevent violence, while community leaders urge unity and respect
03:07for diversity.
