Australia has been marked by nationwide protests over the issue of migration, with tensions running high between far-right and far-left groups. Migration levels have fallen by almost 40% since the post-COVID peak, but many Australians still believe the numbers are too high. Demonstrators in Sydney and Melbourne have expressed concerns about infrastructure, housing shortages, and the increasing cost of living. Neo-Nazis have also been emboldened, attending protests and spreading extreme ideas. Critics have labeled the protests as racist, but attendees say they are there to show pride for Australia and its way of life.
