SYDNEY—Thousands of Australians again took to the streets across 18 cities and towns in protest against government migration policy and struggling infrastructure and social cohesion issues.
The “March for Australia” 2.0 was held Oct. 19 with organiser Bec Freedom—not her real name but a pseudonym—pointing to problems with housing.
“I can see that we have a serious immigration problem. We’ve got families that are homeless. We’ve got migrants that are homeless,” she told The Epoch Times after the march in Hyde Park, Sydney. “So we can’t even house the people that we’ve got. We can’t house the migrants. We need to put a stop to that.”
Freedom, originally from Melbourne and a mother of three, said she thinks public discussion on migration since the last event on Aug. 31 has increased.
“We will keep speaking. We will keep having these conversations, but unfortunately, those labels that we get given … It’s going to stop people from having those discussions.”
