March for Australia was a series of nationwide protests in many Australian cities, that occurred on 31 August 2025 and on 19 October 2025.[1][6] The protests aimed to express discontent towards perceived mass immigration in Australia.[7][8][9] The protests have been described as far-right and white nationalist by many commentators.[10][11][12][13] Investigations by ABC News and The Age found the organisers of the rallies to have ties to various Neo-Nazi and white nationalist individuals, including the National Socialist Network.[10][14][15]

The marches were promoted by various politicians and commentators, including One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts, One Nation WA MLC Rod Caddies, federal MP Bob Katter, and neo-Nazi organisation National Socialist Network.[1][15][16] It was reported that the Sydney protest was organised by pseudonymous nationalist figure Bec Freedom.[10][11]

The protests garnered significant media attention inside Australia and caused concerns among some migrant community groups.[17] Police estimated the number of protesters and counter-protester attendees for the August protest to be more than 50,000 across the country.[18][19][20]

[edit]

ABC News Verify reported that organisers of the March for Australia rally had previously shared material associated with white nationalist ideas, including pro-Nazi and pro-Adolf Hitler content. The rally's website initially promoted "remigration", a far-right concept advocating the deportation of non-European peoples from Western countries, but the reference was removed shortly after the site went live.[10]

Researchers have linked March for Australia messaging to broader extremist narratives. Organizer "Bec Freedom" was captured on a recording saying, "We need violence, I'm sorry, but we need f—ing violence."[21] When confronted by 2GB reporter Ben Fordham, Freedom later apologised, but she was also recorded in a two hour livestream on Twitter on 11 August, advising people on how to covertly introduce far-right ideas to make them sound more palatable to the mainstream. "... this is how I tried to explain it to somebody. I say, OK, so protect Australian heritage, culture, way of life. Next step, protect European culture, heritage, way of life. The next step is protect white heritage. It all means the same thing." She emphasized that by framing it this way, it would be more acceptable to the Australian public, as she believes that the concept of "Australian" refers only to white people or those with European white heritage.[22][10]

Kaz Ross, an independent researcher of extremism, said this framing reflected a strategy to obscure far-right affiliations, noting organisers' prior references to "remigration" and "the great replacement," both linked to white supremacist ideology. Political sociologist Joshua Roose of Deakin University told ABC that far-right groups, including neo-Nazis, exploit concerns about migration, crime, and economic insecurity to advance "a much deeper, hate-filled, racist agenda," while emphasising that reasoned discussion on immigration policy remains possible.[10]

We've got a Senate leader called [Penny] Wong. Migration enriches. Except for the First Australians, we're all either migrants or descendants of them."[66]

Elon Musk shared a post on Twitter that incorrectly claimed that 150,000 people attended the August Brisbane and Sydney protests. Police estimated that attendance at those protests was 21,000.[25]
