Australian police were mobilized to an aged care facility in a peaceful suburb in the state of Victoria on Saturday, after anti-Muslim protesters descended on an area where 120 Syrian and Iraqi refugees are due to be housed.
Nearby, counter-protesters organized by a group named "Welcome to Eltham" -- named after the suburb in which the facility is located -- laid hand-painted butterflies on trees, which they said was the "real" community's way of saying refugees are welcome
The anti-Islam The Party for Freedom (PFF) has dubbed the fight to stop the government housing refugees in the care home the "Battle for Eltham".
