00:00The rally started off at Flinders Street Station around midday and now several hundred people
00:08have marched to Flagstaff Gardens and the speeches have just got underway with Family
00:12First speaking right now and several other people expected to speak later on.
00:17Now this is a Put Australia First rally.
00:20There was a similar rally in Sydney yesterday.
00:23This group says they're marching for immigration reform that preserves Australian values.
00:28They also oppose digital IDs and net zero emissions and a number of other issues.
00:33As I said several hundred people here with flags and chanting as they walk through the streets.
00:40A festival atmosphere, lots of music and a very peaceful crowd here at the moment.
00:46But there is also another rally at the State Library which is a counter rally as the campaign against racism and fascism.
00:55They say they stand with migrants, women and trans people.
00:59Now they have marched through some streets and have ended up back at the State Library where they are at the moment.
01:06Several hundred people there as well.
01:09Neither of the groups have met at the moment.
01:11Many large police presence including riot police and mounted police.
01:15But largely peaceful so far.
01:17There have been some searches undertaken I believe at the counter rally.
01:22Police do have powers to search in the CBD, Southbank and Docklands from this weekend.
01:29So they can search if they have any suspicions.
01:32So another half an hour of speeches or so and we'll update you as things happen.
01:37Nope.
01:38But yeah!
01:39So people are here.
