Scuffles at Dutch MP Wilders' Australia event

Mounted police restored order as scuffles broke out outside an Australian venue where Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders was speaking, but authorities said Wednesday that no arrests were made. Populist Wilders spoke on Tuesday night in Melbourne, receiving a standing ovation from several hundred people who had heard him warn that mass migration from Islamic nations could change Australia. Police horses were brought to the Melbourne venue as protesters attempted to block the entrance, but there were no major incidents.
