Ahead of the Marches for Australia, some Indian influencers and community leaders are urging immigrants living in Australia to "stay inside" and avoid protests for "safety".
The unknown, opaque movement - March for Australia - is calling for an end to what organisers describe as "mass migration" and reclamation of Australia's identity.
Amar Singh, the founder of Turbans 4 Australia and the 2023 Australian Local Hero, described the scheduled protest to SBS Punjabi as an "attack on our Australian multicultural society". Mr Singh and reiterating, "I sincerely urge people that are hosting this protest to rethink their position. I also want to warn other people who might be out and about doing the work on the 31st to be careful if this does go ahead, because this sort of hate does not discriminate."
