Several hundred people gathered at Victoria Square in Adelaide’s CBD on Saturday morning for an anti-racism protest, which began with a traditional smoking ceremony. Participants waved flags and carried signs, including one reading “Stand for Camp Sovereignty,” referencing a recent incident in Melbourne.
Later, a larger crowd marched along North Terrace as part of the Australia Unites Against Government Corruption rally, singing Waltzing Matilda and calling for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to resign. A minute’s silence was observed in memory of U.S. right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot while speaking at a university earlier this week.
In Sydney, thousands took part in a similar rally organised by several splinter groups. The march, heavily monitored by police, prompted the closure of multiple streets between Town Hall and Hyde Park. Many attendees carried Australian flags as they gathered to hear speeches covering a wide range of issues, including opposition to vaccination mandates, immigration, digital ID systems, a cashless economy, and other views associated with sovereign citizen movements.
Authorities maintained a visible presence at both events to manage crowds and ensure public safety.
