American 'freedom fighters' march for Australia in New York.
Hundreds of Americans opposing mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers have rallied outside the Australian consulate in New York with signs reading "Save Australia."
Other banners read "What's happening in Melbourne?" and "we will not comply" as the group marched across the Brooklyn Bridge.
"People around the world are not allowed to go to restaurants. I watched my Australian friend live on Instagram, who said he recently lost his job as a health worker," said one man, as reported by the SBS.
"What's going on in Australia is not just going to be Australia. And when it shows up on our doorsteps, we're gonna punch it right in the f***ing teeth."

The group were also protesting against New York's vaccine mandate for teachers and school staff members, which requires them to have had at least one jab by Monday to be able to keep teaching.
Angry protesters knocked over a COVID testing tent on their way through the city, while booing and shouting at the health workers.
Many Australians acted in bemusement at the protests in their honour.
