About 10,000 people are expected to attend a Sydney rally condemning anti-Semitism, with former prime minister Scott Morrison giving the opening speech.
The demonstration, organised by a grassroots Christian group Never Again is Now (NAIN), will take over the city from 3pm Sunday.
NAIN co-founder, Mark Leach said the event was a response to a 738 per cent surge in reported anti-Semitic incidents across Australia.
The figures were reported by the Executive Council of Australia Jewry in December, which said it had been alerted of 662 incidents in October and November last year.
“We want to mobilise the Christian and general australian rally to push back again the anti Semitic hate we’re seeing across Australia,” said Mr Leach, who is also a senior Anglican minister.
“We want to build a cohesive and strong society were everybody, including our Jewish friends, can flourish in peace.”
Tasmanian Speaker Jacqui Lambie, NSW Senator Hollie Hughes, Australian Christian Lobby director Michelle Pearse, senior Anglican minister Mark Leach and former deputy prime minister John Anderson will also speak at the event.
A NSW Police spokeswoman confirmed the rally was a planned authorised assembly, and said it would be attended by a highly visible police presence.
“The community can be assured we will provide a safe environment for all and appropriate policing responses are in place,” they said.
