A social media star has stirred up debate online after sharing a video of her and her boyfriend slamming Sunday’s March for Australia rallies.

The rallies took place in capital cities across Australia, with thousands taking the streets to protest mass immigration.

Abbie Chatfield, who shot to fame on Channel 10’s the Bachelor, took to social media to share a five-minute long rant about her thoughts on the marches with her 677,000 followers.

The media star began her video by addressing an incident that occurred at First Nations site Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne.

The sacred Indigenous burial site was allegedly attacked by neo-Nazis, with footage showing a hoard of individuals wearing black storming the camp — resulting in four Indigenous people being injured.

National Socialist Network leader Thomas Sewell has since been charged by Victorian police over the attack.

““They ripped down the Aboriginal flag and stormed it like a bunch of f**king losers, like children, like racist f**king children — but these are grown f**king adults, grown adults who have such low self esteem, low intelligence and low education that they are gonna go and storm an Indigenous camp, a protest camp that’s been around since 2006,” Chatfield began her rant.

“(The rally) wasn’t about immigration, was it? Because the people in that camp are the only people who aren’t actually immigrants in this country! This is their land you f**king losers, you genocidal fascist f**king racists.

“The fact that there have been Aboriginal people who have been physically harmed should make it clear enough — it’s not about immigration, it is about racism. It is white nationalism.”

Chatfield then passed the phone over to her partner, musician Adam Hyde, telling the audience, “because you call me hysterical, here is an adult man that will talk to you.”

The 35-year-old Peking Duk star did not hold back, immediately launching into a tirade branding protesters as “f**king moronic pieces of s**t”.

“To think that you’re protesting against immigrants, that’s not what’s going on here — this is flat out racism and anyone that denies that is a f**king racist,” he said in the clip.

“You’re all bigots and pieces of s**t, you’re a stain on this country and shouldn’t represent (Australia) at all.

“Unfortunately, this country is rooted and upheld within racism so it’s very on brand, you’re all scum and need to do better.

“Indigenous people have been hurt after Nazi losers ran through their camp — how the f**k is that trying to reclaim Australia?!

“You all have f**king pea brains – don’t procreate, just die, f**k off.”

Comments quickly flooded in, with opinions on the video clearly divided.

Some commenters wrote the star had “missed the complete point of the rallies” and blasted her as a hypocrite given her support for previous pro-Palestine rallies.

Others, however, praised the former TV host for “speaking out against hatred” and thanked her for using her platform to address the rallies.

Chatfield wasn’t done with her rant, however — filming a short follow-up in response to one comment saying Nazis had “hijacked the rally”.

“Let’s say the Nazis did hijack the rally… in that case, that means that you were at a rally that Nazis wanted to hijack,” Chatfield snapped back.

“(Nazis) wouldn’t hijack a Palestine rally, they wouldn’t hijack a women’s rally, they wouldn’t hijack an anti-Invasion Day rally but they hijacked yours?”

The star has since shared her online rants about the protests have resulted in her address being maliciously shared.

This isn’t the first time Abbie Chatfield has been politically outspoken on her social media.

She has interviewed Australian leaders like Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and former Greens leader Adam Bandt on her podcast It’s A Lot.

Calls from Liberal senators during the 2025 election also resulted in the Australian Electoral Commission launching an investigation into Chatfield, with concerns raised about her social media posts being electoral material promoting Labor and the Greens.

The AEC cleared the media star of any wrongdoing.
