Anti-immigration group

An anti-immigration group encouraged followers to boo welcome to country ceremonies at Anzac Day events, leading to disruptions at multiple services. The group denied orchestrating the campaign but criticized the ceremonies as 'woke rituals.' This marks the second consecutive year such incidents have marred Anzac Day, sparking public debate.

Western Australian police blocked 15 members of 'issue motivated groups' from attending Anzac Day ceremonies in Perth following disruptions in eastern states, including booing during Indigenous acknowledgments in Sydney and Melbourne. One man was arrested at the Sydney dawn service for interrupting the ceremony.
