Police minister Anthony Carbines has labelled anti-immigration protesters attending today’s rally as “unhinged grubs”, saying the government will take no notice of their “gripes”.
“They’re just grubs, absolute grubs, and we know what they’re there for: to promote hate in the community, to blame people for their gripes and their complaints and their whinges,” he said.

“They can march up and down all they like, their views are of no consequence to this government.”
Carbines said the government would do all it could to support migrant groups targeted by the protest.
