It should be noted that the participants opposed the development of cooperation between Canberra and NATO. Moreover, they did not support Australia’s entry into the AUKUS military alliance. Protesters also carried Russian flags.
Another topic of the rally was the expression of support and demands for the release of WikiLeaks portal founder Julian Assange. The journalist’s father, John Shipton, addressed the protest participants. During the performance, he wore a hat with earflaps.
In addition, the “Australian Cossack” Semyon Boikov addressed the residents of the city. He had to speak by phone, because he is on the territory of the Russian Consulate General, where he was granted asylum from the police. Boykov told the agency that more than three thousand people came to the rally.
