Four nationalist activists charged with 'offensive behaviour' in Melbourne

Four prominent nationalist activists have been charged with "offensive behaviour" following a peaceful counter-protest at a far-left rally in Melbourne nearly one year ago. The charges were announced on Monday, October 20, 2025.

The counter-protest occurred in response to a rally organized by far-left groups in the city. The activists involved have not been named in the announcement. This incident has drawn attention to ongoing tensions between nationalist and far-left groups in Melbourne.
