In Western Australia, a rally in Albany, on the state’s south coast, has drawn low numbers.
Six people gathered around a Eureka flag in the centre of town, while another six people gathered in opposition.
Apart from some minimal interaction between the groups, the event proceeded without any further incident.

There was nowhere near 15,000 people in Adelaide. The cops are having a laugh.

They did say that included counterprotesters. but still seems a bit high. They showed with the March for Humanity how far off their estimates can be so I’ll wait for others.

Seems like a few, considering the left smeared everyone associated with the rally a nazi I think it just goes to show how ineffective the insult has become :(

It’s not an insult. It’s a political association, which as we saw in Melbourne and Sydney, the neo-Nazi group who call them selves Nazis and named their group after the German Nazi Party, played a key role in organising many of these rallies and were given the platform to speak on stage at them. Adelaide thankfully had some people with a bit of dignity who fought back when they saw actual, actual, nazis insert them into the protest.
Who is this “the left”? I, for one, know the difference between a nazi and a nazi collaborator.

If there were 15,000 at the small park where the rally was held there would have been a crush and people would have been injured. As it was there was plenty of space for the protestors to move from one side of the park where they initially congregated to the middle to hear some speakers, then march off.
The rally was literally called and organised by nazis. Other rallies were inspired by the initial rallies - the ones called by nazis.
If you don’t want to be called a nazi, don’t hang out with nazis at a Nazi initiated protest.
