Melbourne’s News Corp affiliate reports:
Large crowds of protesters from two competing rallies have clashed in the streets of Melbourne over LGBTQI+ issues as an anti-transgender activist, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, continues her speaking tour of Australia. Ms Keen-Minshull, who goes by the moniker Posie Parker, is a British woman who founded group Standing for Women. She describes herself as a women’s rights activist, but she is mostly known for her anti-transgender opinions.
She has made headlines in recent months after a speaker at one of her events quoted Adolf Hitler. Masked men gave Nazi salutes in Melbourne’s CBD when they crashed the demonstration between pro-transgender and anti-transgender activists. Protesters gathered outside Parliament House about midday. The group of men, dressed in black, performed multiple Nazi salutes while holding a sign that read: “Destroy Paedo Freaks.”

When actual “siege heil!” Nazis are at your anti-trans rally (in Melbourne) to support you and tell you you’re doing a great job you really need to have a long hard look at yourself and the job you’re doing https://t.co/yDv1MKMPJe

VicPol have now facilitated a spot on the steps of Victorian parliament for the neo nazi group. They are doing nazi salutes on the steps of parliament surrounded by police who led them up there and are now standing linked to protect them
