Anti-immigration group March for Australia has released an alarming manifesto ahead of nationwide protests, vowing to stand against what it calls ‘endless migration’ – a system it claims is driven by big business and backed by major political parties.Â
The demonstrations will take place in all capital cities, as well as Townsville and Cairns, at 12pm on Sunday, August 31.
The group claims big business is driving mass immigration.
‘Whether it’s Coles and Woolworths, the big banks, Harry Triguboff (the founder of Meriton apartments), universities or the Business Council of Australia – they all want ‘Big Australia’ (a population of 100m+ ASAP). Each migrant means they can sell another 365 days’ worth of food, or another mortgage. The only cost? Our nation.’
They argue the rallies will unite Australians around common concerns.
‘Whether you’re concerned for our culture, wages, traffic, housing supply, water supply, environmental destruction, infrastructure, hospitals, crime or loss of community, we are stronger together! Don’t leave this work to be done by your children.’
The group cited a Lowy Institute poll from June 2025 showing most Australians believe migration levels are too high.
‘Polling by the Lowy Institute in June 2025 found that the majority of Australians think the number of migrants coming into the country each year is ‘too high’. This is a transformation that we never sought, nor consented to. Our political elite ignore the views of the majority, yet call it ‘democracy’.’
The group also accused both major parties of supporting mass migration.

There have been more and more rallies agaisnt immigration in Australia in recent times
‘In Bob Hawke’s biography, he stated that there is an implicit agreement between the parties not to discuss migration. The Labor–Liberal uniparty, both controlled by their donors, had a 25 per cent difference in migration intake at the last election. Same policy, different branding. It’s time for change!’
The group claimed migration is causing profound cultural change.
‘We know migration has a cultural impact. This isn’t a slight cultural change – it’s replacement plain and simple. Australia is not an economic zone to be exploited by international finance. Australia is our home. If Albo and Ley won’t make a stand, it’s up to us.’
They also argued that more Indians have migrated to Australia in the past five years than Italians and Greeks did in the previous century.
The demonstrations come in response to a recent 90,000-strong pro-Palestine rally, which shut down the Sydney Harbour Bridge and paralysed the CBD.
Rally locations have been confirmed across the country. In Sydney, the protest will be held at Belmore Park. Melbourne’s rally will take place outside Flinders Street Station. Brisbane’s event will be staged at Roma Street Parklands, and Perth’s at Supreme Court Gardens.
In Adelaide, the rally will be at Rundle Park. Canberra’s will be at Regatta Point, Darwin’s at the Darwin Civic Centre, Townsville’s at Anzac Memorial Park, and Cairns’ at Freedom Park.
The Albanese government has slammed the protestersÂ
Former reality star and influencer Abbie Chatfield labelled them ‘racist’ and ‘bigoted’
March for Australia describes itself as a ‘grassroots coalition of nationalists, patriots, and everyday Australians’.
The rallies have already drawn strong criticism. Former reality star and influencer Abbie Chatfield labelled them ‘racist’ and ‘bigoted.’
Albanese government Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke also condemned the protests, calling them un-Australian.
‘There is no place in our country for people who seek to divide and undermine our social cohesion,’ he said.
‘We stand with modern Australia against these rallies – nothing could be less Australian.’
March for Australia insisted it is not linked to extremist groups such as the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network, White Australia, or Thomas Sewell Uncensored.
On Facebook, one supporter defended the movement.
‘People who still choose to call it racist seem to forget we also take migrants from US/CAN/UK/NZ. Migrants are migrants no matter their race. It’s too many from everywhere and it needs to be heavily reduced from everywhere.’
March for Australia has been contacted by the Daily Mail Australia for further comment.
