March for Australia organisers have announced locations for new anti-immigration rallies planned for cities around the country on October 19, with the Sydney event set to push pro-Palestine protesters out of Hyde Park.
All of the rallies will start at 12pm, with attendees asked to bring Australian and Eureka flags only, and organisers are expecting a massive turnout following the success of the first nationwide event on August 31.
The event has police permission to use Hyde Park in Sydney, which has been taken over most weekends by pro-Palestine groups for the past two years, while Melbourne’s rally will begin with speeches on the steps of Parliament House followed by a March.
Brisbane’s will be held at Emma Miller Place on Roma St, Perth’s will be at Langley Park (West), Canberra’s at the Captain Cook Memorial, and Adelaide’s in Light Square.

Organisers told Noticer News that holding the Sydney rally in Hyde Park would send a powerful message, and resulted from extensive negotiations with council and NSW Police.
“Using Hyde Park as the location of March for Australia’s second march is us making a strong but controversial statement. Australia has had enough of people pushing foreign agendas,” national organiser Bec Freedom said.
“Hyde Park aligns with our messaging of end mass-immigration, protect our heritage, our culture and our way of life. It’s such a historically rich location and I look forward to holding our event there.”
Jesse Stewart, who is co-organising the Sydney rally and spoke at the August 31 event, said: “It’s time that Aussies take a stand against the constant foreign influence on our soil, which we have seen week in, week out at Hyde Park.
“It’s a beautiful park with a rich colonial history and has the stunning St Mary’s Cathedral backdrop.”
In my speech to the ‘March for Australia’ I argued for a five year immigration pause.

Libertarian MP John Ruddick, who made a speech on August 31 calling for a five-year immigration pause in front of an estimated 20,000 protesters, is among those who have confirmed they will be attending again on October 19.
The August 31 rallies were attended by well over 100,000 demonstrators, although some estimate more that double that number attended on the day.
All rallies were peaceful and free of violence, except for the march in Melbourne where Victoria Police allowed left-wing extremists to repeatedly attack patriotic protesters throughout the day, leaving some hospitalised, and vandalise cars of attendees.
