MODERATORS
Adelaide? This number included counterprotesters IIRC.
There was only about 100 at counter protest. Someone else there says more but I can't be sure. There is no way, none whatsoever that there were 15,000 at the Adelaide rally. The cops are having a laugh, or deliberately overestimated crowd size to boost the number of people at the main march because they support it, or did not factor in the distance between protestors because they were all spread out so as not to hit each other with all the Australian flags they were carrying (there were so many big flags they all had to give each other wide berths).
There were a lot of protestors at the main march, just nowhere near 15,000.
And, let's not forget, certainly nowhere near 300,000
Only very small numbers of those, the overwhelming majority of the figure was racists.
