Classic Australian rock band the Hoodoo Gurus have come out swinging against supporters of the conservative-leaning One Nation party after a cover band played one of their songs during an Australia Day event.

On Jan. 26, at the Brisbane “Australia Marches” event, a cover band played numerous Australian rock titles to thousands of locals who braved the heatwave to march against high immigration volumes.
