Australia Debates Immigration Amidst Protests, Concerns
Some people in Australia are protesting because they think too many immigrants are coming and taking resources.
They're especially focusing on people from India.
Other people disagree and organized their own protests.
The government and opposition leaders are against the protests because they support different cultures living together.
The debate is about whether Australia has enough resources for everyone and if it's right to welcome people from other countries.
It's a complicated issue with people on both sides arguing about what's fair and how things should be run.
Protests, "March for Australia," occurred in multiple Australian cities, targeting immigration.
Protest organizers focused on Indian-origin residents, who make up over 3% of the population.
Between 2013 and 2023, the Indian population in Australia doubled.
Counter-rallies were organized by the Refugee Action Coalition.
Australian political leaders from both sides condemned the protests and support multiculturalism.
