Overview
- Rallies branded “March for Australia” were held across multiple cities, drawing avowed neo-Nazis and some elected politicians and calling for an end to mass migration.
- Overseas figures including Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Tommy Robinson and Jack Posobiec promoted the events online, with Musk and Jones amplifying inflated crowd-size claims.
- Authorities identified two far-right influencers as key organizers, with Bec Freedom linked to Sydney and Hugo Lennon to Melbourne and both promoting ideologies such as “remigration.”
- An ABC investigation found “remigration” listed on organizers’ materials before it was deleted, reflecting white‑nationalist ideas tied to the Great Replacement theory.
- Flyers and promotions singled out Indian migrants as targets, drawing condemnation from Australian lawmakers and conflicting with official data on recent migration trends.
