Australia faces protests over immigration rise as government denounces divisive slogans

In several Australian cities, groups gathered this week to protest what they described as a sharp increase in immigration, with particular focus on the growing number of Indian arrivals. The rallies drew criticism for using slogans and messages that many saw as targeting migrant communities.

Government officials have strongly condemned the demonstrations, saying such rhetoric spreads unnecessary division and undermines the country’s social fabric. “Australia has always thrived on diversity, and attempts to pit communities against one another are unacceptable,” a government spokesperson stated.

Recent figures show that the Indian diaspora has become one of the fastest-growing communities in Australia over the past five years, contributing significantly in areas such as education, technology, and healthcare. While concerns about housing, jobs, and infrastructure continue to dominate the debate, officials emphasized that blaming migrants is not the solution.

Community leaders have also called for calm, urging Australians to focus on constructive dialogue rather than polarising protests.
