“There is a highly visible police presence in the area to ensure there are no breaches of the peace and to keep the community safe,” said a police spokesman. “The brazen marching with neo-Nazi salutes in front of the Victorian Parliament is unacceptable. “The ugly alliance between anti-trans bullies and neo-Nazis on display in the city today was extremely confronting,” Mr Burns wrote on social media.

Protesters have raised their arms in a shocking Nazi salute as hundreds of people clash over a controversial activist.
“There is a highly visible police presence in the area to ensure there are no breaches of the peace and to keep the community safe,” said a police spokesman. The group was seen shouting slurs at transgender activists and performing the Nazi salute as they stood on the steps of parliament. The anti-trans activist was critical of a member of Britain’s House of Commons mentioning murdered US trans teen Brianna Ghey in an International Women’s Day speech. On Saturday, large crowds of protesters from two competing rallies clashed in the streets of Melbourne over LGBTQI+ issues with one group performing the Nazi salute as they stood on the steps of parliament. At least 30 members of the far-right Nationalist Socialist Movement were seen marching down Melbourne’s Spring St in support of Ms Keen-Minshull. A “women’s rights activist” who sparked LGBTQI protests in Perth last week has faced more dissent this time in the streets of Melbourne as she continues her speaking tour of Australia.

Keen’s events in Sydney and Adelaide this week were met with clashes between anti- and pro-trans rights activists. Not anywhere,” he said on Twitter. Not on parliament’s steps.
