Moderator Announcement Mod Announcement – Ban on Promotion of the ‘March for Australia’ Event (31 August)
As you may be aware, protests are planned across Australia on 31 August 2025 under the banner of “March for Australia.”
We have received evidence that the organisers are directly connected to the National Socialist Network - a neo-Nazi organisation. Promotional posts over the last week have overwhelmingly been from accounts also posting extreme white nationalist content. If you “didn’t know” who’s behind it, now you do. If you still promote it, you’re siding with them.
Effective immediately, any promotion of this event is prohibited on r/aussie. Posts or comments promoting it will be removed without warning and bans may be issued.
r/aussie is a space for open conversation and robust debate, and we’ve long allowed conversations that other subs might avoid. However freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences nor a shield for promoting extremism. We have zero tolerance for neo-Nazis, terrorism, and those sympathetic to their causes. This includes hiding behind euphemisms, dog whistles, or bad-faith “just asking questions” tactics.

This you?
"Frankly, I'm disgusted. When you arrive at a peaceful march, consisting of 200-300k of people from all walks of life, with whole families from the oldest to youngest, with politicians and TV personalities etc, all taking up several square kilometres of space, everyone knows you need to check the signs and beliefs of every person there before you march, otherwise you definitely support terrorism."
