What you highlight are real problems. Technology and wealth inequality are far more to blame than immigrants though, hence why the significantly white population at these marches is being labelled as racist.Its a very broad question you ask.
Aussue culture is based on Judeo-Christian customs and laws and history with the English language as the glue that binds the nation together. Notions of a"fair go", helping in times of need, a sense of community, reward for effort ( "wealth....for toil"), social concepts like marriage and patriotism ( we don't birn our own flag for example).
When you introduce large numbers of people from places that don't share those customs, those laws, that langugae those histories, those notions and CRITICALLY have no intention of adopting them, its not difficult to work out why there would be locals who demonstrate.
In this debate its common to use Australia's migrant history to justify the recent large influx of immigrants, as if all immigrants are the same and as if their numbers are the same.
Its also common to paint those who dsiagree with the the numbers and source of immigrants as racist.
This is gaslighting designed to deflect from the socio-ecomomic problems that both the recent source and numbers of immigrants are the root cause of: youth crime, housing affordability, massive infrastructure spending and debt, decline in living standards and real wages, under-finding of schools, public hospitals, roads to accommodate record numbers of immigrants, environmental destruction and even agriculture.
This are things that have a real and tangible effect on the locals and they are not being aknowledged by either of the two major party's Worse, they're being demonised as racist, nearly all of whom are not.
These people are being gaslit by political leaders and the media and are pushing their own agendas and politics.
You want to solve these problems? Look up, not sideways.
