Influencer Abbie Chatfield has used her high profile to fire a broadside at the so-called ‘Australia First’ national protest planned for August 31.
Organised by a supposedly ‘grass roots’ coalition of ‘nationalists, patriots and everyday Australians’, the rallies are set to take place in all major capitals to demand an end to ‘mass immigration’.
Posting to TikTok on Wednesday, Abbie, 30, has characterised the proposed rallies, which have yet to be confirmed, as ‘racist’ and ‘xenophobic’.
At one point in her lengthy post, Abbie claimed the majority of Australians ‘do not agree with this [racist] s***t’
‘They don’t f***ing agree with it. These losers, insecure losers, these absolute freaks, want to feel powerful,’ she said.
‘I didn’t wanna talk about this because I didn’t wanna bring attention to it, but it’s now getting attention, so it’s time to f***ing talk about it and condemn it,’ she began her fiery six-minute presentation.

She continued: ‘On the 31st of August, there is going to be a nationwide protest for all the racists and the xenophobes of Australia to get together and march for Australia.
‘They claim that it is about cost of living, they claim that it is about Australia gaining itself back, winning Australia back, taking Australia back – from whom, no one knows.’
Abbie also said that any immigrants who followed her ‘were f***ing welcome’.
‘These protests should be condemned by every f***ing Australian,’ she added.
She took a moment to try and explain that protestors who blamed immigrants for the high cost of living were wrong.
Instead, Abbie said people should consider ‘complex’ economic and political ‘strategies’.
‘It is easier to blame people that are (considered) below you than it is to fight upwards, right?’ she said.
‘So these people go, “I have issues in my life, oh, the cost of living’s really high, it must be these immigrants. This is below me, because I feel bigger and more tough than them, because I’m aware of my privilege.”‘
Huge anti-immigration protests are being planned for August 31 just weeks after a 90,000-strong crowd brought the Sydney CBD to a standstill for a pro-Palestine rally (pictured)
She continued: ‘If I’m one of these people going to this f***ing rally, I’m aware of my privilege. I know that I won’t get cops coming to me – I’m a white person. I know that in society I can punch down on immigrants because I perceive them as weaker than I am because of my place of privilege in this country that is on stolen land.’
The podcaster told her followers it was not her place to ‘welcome’ anyone, since she was not Indigenous.
Abbie added: ‘And like I was saying before, it’s easier to punch down than it is to admit that our system is f***ed (or) understand that our society is pretty crooked and the stage of capitalism that we’re at is pretty bad.
‘And the people that are in power, that you’ve been bootlicking your whole f***ing life, actually aren’t going to help you. It isn’t the fault of immigrants, okay?’
She also appeared to throw out a warning to anyone planning to go.
‘If you know anyone who is going to this or posting about this, either they are a neo-Nazi, or they don’t know what it’s actually about – so inform them,’ she said, adding that she was ‘terrified’ at the idea of protests.
‘I’m gonna bet that if you’re going to this, (it’s) something to do with your own choices, because you’re such a f***ing loser if you’re going to this,’ she added.
‘I f***ing hate it, we should all condemn it. Long story short, these people are f***ing freaks… What are you even protesting for? Your demands are to end mass immigration. What the f*** are you talking about?’

Abbie’s urging to condemn the protest appeared to fall on deaf ears with followers – with many posting comments in support of the proposed mass protest.
‘I’m part indigenous and I will be attending,’ said one user, while another added, ‘Why can’t we Abbie? We protest for everything but ourselves. We are SICK OF IT.’
‘I am an immigrant, and I am interested to go,’ said another on the thread.
‘I am extremely worried about the complete lack of care of how our government spends our taxes, letting unskilled workers come here driving up house prices and putting pressure on our healthcare system.
‘It’s not racist to be worried about the country.’
It comes after a group called March for Australia announced it was organising the August 31 protests.
Daily Mail contacted state and territory police forces about the March for Australia rallies and were told most were yet to be informed about the protests.
Little is known about the people behind the group, but they have been forced to clarify that they are not affiliated with neo-Nazis.

Thomas Sewell, an alleged member of neo-Nazi group National Socialist Network (NSN), posted on Telegram with a similar event, seemingly claiming to be behind it.
In the image for the post, it promised a protest on August 31 at midday in the same cities with the declaration: ‘It’s time to take our country back.’
Below the poster, Sewell wrote: ‘White Australia and the NSN vanguard have successfully completed the Winter National summit.
‘After only just arriving home from our summit today, I have been informed that foreign fifth columns are attempting to hijack our August 31st public rally for Australia.
‘Australians must say NO to Israeli, Palestinian, Chinese and Indian foreign interference trying to hijack our common sense patriotic spirit.’
But, while still remaining relatively anonymous, March for Australia made it clear they are ‘not members of, nor acting on behalf of, any other group’.
‘In particular, recent claims by Thomas Sewell of White Australia are not reflective of the organisers nor the politics of March For Australia,’ they told Daily Mail.
