Headline unfortunately dissolves upon inspection:

Mr Mylvaganam said one of the speakers at the asylum seeker rally was capsicum sprayed by police.

"I spoke with our marshalling team, and the information I received is that the police pepper-sprayed our group well before they took any action against the neo-Nazis."

"[The neo-Nazis] were pepper sprayed, but they were allowed to continue with their march after that," he said.

Police pepper spray asylum seekers, and then neo-nazis might more accurately describe the events.
