A large group of Australian nationalists have held a rally in a small New South Wales town where the world’s largest meat processing company bought the local piggery and flooded the community with immigrant workers.
About 50 members of right-wing activist group the National Socialist Network marched through Corowa, a town near the Victorian border with a population of about 5,600 people, at midday on Saturday holding a banner reading “White man fight back”.
At one point the black-clad demonstrators stood in front of the town’s war memorial where prominent nationalist activist Thomas Sewell made a speech telling locals the group was there to raise awareness about “the fact that White people in this town, in this country, and across the world are slowly being replaced and eradicated”.
Australian nationalists held a “White man fight back” protest in the small town of Corowa, NSW, which multinational meat giant JBS is flooding with foreign workers.

“We’ve come here with a warning. The towns we have come from, the suburbs we have come from, are now inundated with cheap third world labour,” he said.
“We can’t afford homes, we’re losing our jobs, we’re being pushed out.
“What we’re fighting for is more than Corowa, it’s more than Victoria and New South Wales, we’re fighting for a spiritual revival of our nation. We love this land, we love this country, and we are hated by the elites that are destroying it.”
The protesters told local councillor David Harrison that they were demonstrating against multinational meat processer JBS, which acquired pork producer Rivalea’s Corowa plant in 2022, buying up accommodation facilities and businesses to cater for workers from overseas.
Mr Harrison, a retired Rivalea production manager, said he was upset about the rally and that as a result he would try to import even more foreign labour to take jobs at the piggery and pork processor.
“I’m the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and we’ve already started discussions saying, well, this has happened. We’ll just double down harder on bringing our international workers into the community,” he told The Border Mail.
Rivalea was purchased by Brazilian giant JBS for $175 million in January 2022, and last year announced it was investing $20 million into its Corowa site to upgrade the piggery and employee amenity facilities.
Since the takeover locals have complained that JBS has brought in foreign workers, mainly from the Philippines, and bought up motels to house them, as well as replacing third-party carriers with their own immigrant-staffed truck fleet.
Noticer News understands the migrant workers are bussed to work from their motel and rental accommodation, which were furnished with the help of local charities, to the sprawling piggery and meat processing plant outside of town.
NSW Police said officers attended Corowa RSL Park after reports of an “unauthorised assembly” and dispersed the group with no arrests made.
The same group demonstrated against a homosexual film night aimed at children in nearby Albury in June, and in August counter-protested a rally in Melbourne where immigrants were demanding permanent visas.
