Australian country and folk music singer-songwriter John Williamson has objected to the playing of his song “True Blue” during a March for Australia protest against mass immigration on Sunday, Oct. 19.

“True Blue is a song for all Australians and should not be hijacked by any group that seeks to use the song to sow division,” Williamson wrote on Facebook.
