Honestly, the response we got about counter protesting from most people in our lives that agreed the March was bad was "Oh, but isn't that unsafe?".

We are a normal middle class white family and we refuse to look the other way while this happens.

I haven't been to a protest since I was like 17, but this isn't Australian. This is not what I want for my country. You can want immigration reform without being a bully.

I hope more people will show up.

"Oh, but isn't that unsafe?"

Surely people need to understand that it's more unsafe to let this sort of shit fester.

Exactly. We hope more every day Aussie families will join next time. The standard you walk by is the standard you accept.
