Influencer Abbie Chatfield has publicly condemned the planned 'Australia First' national protest set for August 31, describing it as racist and xenophobic in a passionate social media post. She argued that the majority of Australians do not support the anti-immigration sentiment behind the rallies and urged her followers to reject the movement. Chatfield criticized protestors for blaming immigrants for economic issues, instead pointing to broader systemic problems and privilege within society. Despite her strong stance, many online commenters expressed support for the protest, highlighting ongoing divisions over immigration and national identity. The group organizing the rallies has denied any affiliation with extremist organizations, though controversy continues to surround the event's motivations and supporters.
