- description: About 100 protesters clashed with supporters of Dutch anti-immigrant, eurosceptic politician Geert Wilders on Tuesday (February 19) as they tried to gain entrance to a speech he was giving in Melbourne. Protesters blocked the entrance to the venue and chanted "Get out, get out. To racist scum we say get out" and "Racism no way we are going to fight it all the way," as one supporter was thrown to the ground. One woman's tickets to the event were taken away from her before police moved in and ordered the protesters away from the entrance. Wilders' ideas - calling for a total halt to non-Western immigration and bans on Muslim headscarfs and the construction of mosques - have struck a chord with some and drawn criticism from others. Earlier in the day Wilders delivered a speech in Melbourne on Muslims in society. Local media has reported that Wilders is due to speak in Perth on Thursday and in Sydney on Friday.
