As immigration protests and anti-racism rallies were held across the country, one in Adelaide offered an unexpected twist. The organiser of the March for Australia held in August was no-where to be seen at its follow-up gathering in the city. Instead, he says he's distanced himself from the movement and attended the anti-racism rally instead.

00:00A rally against racism with a surprise supporter.
00:06Racism has no place in Australia.
00:09And I've got my own interests, which is United,
00:12and so I thought I'd come here today because I think I should support them.
00:16No, you are not to do interviews at my event.
00:19No, they asked me, so I'll go.
00:21Rally organiser Natasha Wanganeen canning the interview.
00:25Do not do that.
00:26I wasn't talking about here at all.
00:27I don't care. You don't have a space here today.
00:29You are an audience member because of what you did.
00:32OK.
00:33You rolled with the Nazis, right?
00:34No, I didn't mean to. You know that.
00:35A tense exchange, but a peaceful gathering,
00:38and a call to stand as one.
00:401788, you are a descendant of immigrants,
00:42so why are you complaining about immigrants?
00:47In another part of the city,
00:49a sea of Australian flags spilling onto the streets,
00:52the latest in rallies held across the country,
00:54dubbed March for Australia.
00:56Not have mass immigration.
00:58It's out of hand.
00:59It's gone way out of hand.
01:01We need to be proud of our country,
01:03and of all things, we need to stop immigration.
01:07Can't afford houses.
01:09Losing our identity.
01:10We just want national pride back,
01:11and that's why we're here today.
01:13We're not racists.
01:14Here's my Aboriginal mate, he loves it.
01:17Here for Australians.
01:18The thousands who came here to protest
01:21walked a loop from here on Light Square
01:23to West Harrison back again.
01:25There has been a strong police presence,
01:27but from the beginning,
01:29the protesters remained very peaceful.
01:31The neo-Nazis had disrupted the August march,
01:34nowhere in sight.
01:35These marches were told,
01:37oh, it's funded by the Nazis.
01:40It wasn't.
01:41I funded it, and my sponsors funded this one.
01:44There were similar scenes across the rest of Australia,
01:48except in Melbourne,
01:49where anti-racism protesters clashed with police.
