This year has seen a marked increase in mobilisations by a number of racist, far right and fascist organisations in Australia. These mobilisations have been countered by various labour and anti racist/fascist activists. Unfortunately, fascist elements are continuing to organise and are now concentrating on the southern regional city of Bendigo where the building of a proposed mosque has allowed them to exploit local issues. Following on from their last rally, they are now organising a new demonstration in Bendigo. A local group, the Bendigo Action Coalition, has come together to counter this latest demonstration. A public meeting on Wednesday 7 October has also been organised in Melbourne to discuss how to counter the rise of fascism.
