There are plenty of ways that people can express their love of their country or express their concern about cost of living. One way that some people have chosen to do that is to attend rallies that are being addressed by Neo-Nazis. I don't think that is the right way to express your concern about your country, and I don't think that the views that we had on display at those rallies yesterday represented Australian values whatsoever. Australian values are about a fair go for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Australian values are about standing up for someone who is less fortunate than yourself, not what we saw yesterday. The values that were expressed at those rallies yesterday were not Australian values.
