I was in Perth last week because my mother had died and Sunday was a day when I finally had something to do for myself. I’ve been a photojournalist for a few years and I went to the March for Australia rally because I wanted to see what would happen, and because I like to document these sort of things. I also needed a distraction.
As the protesters walked past, some individuals were openly yelling out “fuck off you, black cunts” to counter-protesters. But a lot of the counter-protesters weren’t Indigenous or people of colour or black; they were mostly white-presenting. But it seemed very specific to yell out those words: “Fuck off, you black cunts.”
