Groundswell are set to protest on Sunday in their first major protest since July.

Stuart Nash, who is standing in as Minister of Rural Communities for Damien O'Connor, described Groundswell as "a mixture of racism, anti-vax, etcetera, etcetera."

The Country host Jamie Mackay joined Heather du Plessis-Allan to discuss Nash's comments ahead of the protest.

Mackay argues that the protest has gone beyond the farmers' protest and more people attending the protest won't be farmers this time around to add fuel to the fire.
