More than 200 demonstrators gathered in Melbourne on Friday to protest the former head of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage and his political, social and cultural views.
The demonstration was organised by the Coalition Against Racism and Fascism (CARF).
According to police, multiple clashes occurred between anti-racism protesters and Farage supporters with police forced to intervene several times. Five people were reportedly arrested.
“You [Nigel Farage] are not welcome. Your message is filth and hate. It’s disgusting. And you are despicable,” said Victor, a protester.
Farage is partaking in a week-long tour of New Zealand and Australia.
