For those who wonder if there is any point in protesting against mass immigration or who’ve heard rumors there will be racist attacks. Ponder that is exactly what The Blob want you to think. Read the comment thread on Facebook in response to this –– it’s all good:
“My Malaysian friends are coming.””..ALL Proud Aussies Welcome 
” “Good stuff”.
Renèe Meggs “We want politicians to see that every Australian, no matter their culture or skin colour, stands together and wants a better Australia than what we have now. We are calling for a pause in immigration until families are no longer forced to live on the streets or in cars, and until safety is restored to our communities. If you love this country as much as we do, come march with us. Stand with us. Together, we are stronger — and together, we will be heard.”
According to Mike Benz, who used to work at the US State Department, The Blob thinks protests are such a useful part of Political Statecraft, they have teams dedicated to feeding the protests that suit them. Then they leverage that to change policies and even tip weak governments over the edge.
Meanwhile the hardworking majority sit at home and talk about how the country is going to pieces — because they don’t realize how important it is to stand up and be counted.
Don’t let The Blob set the agenda. If all voters took a few hours a year to get involved, it would suddenly be obvious to everyone what issues matter.
As a bonus, you meet great people. And when there is enough people, it’s electric. That’s what the Blob is most afraid of.
Check the March for Australia site and Facebook to find out your local details.
UPDATED: From the Perth protest today. Look how deep that crowd is and how big those flags are.
The Perth March was huge
The ABC estimate of “more than a thousand people” with “dozens of flags” is ridiculous.
Everyone was friendly and well behaved, ordinary Australians and quite a few Vets, or children of veterans. These were the brave people who knew the Nazi racist propaganda message was just the empty name-calling of The Blob. A lot of the flags were 3m giants, so they look small in the distance, but that’s because they are a long way away.
Walking on the bridge over the freeway the cars below were honking in support.
We need new number plates in Victoria. The Luddite State.
No coal exports. Because removing the 66% water content of our brown coal makes it ‘blacker’. That was the Labor Brumby government who stopped a $400Million sale of coal to India. Hundreds of billions in debt and people trying to give us money for coal we don’t want? The cheek!
Uranium and thorium? “Victoria has a constitutional and legislative ban on uranium exploration and mining under the Nuclear Activities (Prohibitions) Act 1983, which also prohibits related nuclear fuel cycle activities like the operation of nuclear reactors or the conversion and enrichment of nuclear materials. This state-based ban is a key part of Australia’s overall strategy for nuclear non-proliferation and is enforced under the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990.”
Fracking? Victoria has a permanent, constitutionally-enshrined ban on hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and coal seam gas extraction, implemented through the Constitution Amendment (Fracking Ban) Act 2021. This constitutional amendment makes it very difficult for future governments to reverse the ban, as it requires a three-fifths majority in both houses of Parliament.
And our local “24 Oct 2019 — City of Port Phillip councillors have passed a Greens motion calling on the federal government to sign a UN treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons.” A few councils have banned nuclear missiles. That will keep us safe. Council parking officers will fine any incoming nuclear missiles.
As for man made Global Warming, it’s embedded in every council as fact.

And like Albanese’s Federals, Labor and the Greens want take every opportunity to change Constitutions so that their extreme Green Woke ideas cannot be changed, even when they lose political power, leaving Australia permanently impoverished and literally powerless. An easy target for their friends in China. It’s a wonder Albanese and Wong don’t go with Bob Carr and Daniel Andrews, but they have just been six times. The problem is to get the support of their new imported voters who seem fixated on Israel. And the existing Labor voters who seem to think we are allied with the US instead of China.
It’s nothing to do with Climate Change. That’s Political Science, not real science and the Climate punishment laws are being passed as fast as they can be written.

Why do you need a number plate in vicdanistan?
It’s imminent future lies within 15 minute cities, you’ll be walking everywhere.
Tattooed bar codes will be in next year, to be scanned when you enter or leave a premise. It’s for your own good. Wait till they start strip searching people in the street to see if that’s a machete in your pocket.

Number plates here should read Victoria- The Pothole State.
I’m on a train right now heading into Melbourne to the protest. Hopefully there’s some good numbers and no agitators.
340
Big turn up in Melbourne, I’d estimate at least 10,000 people. At one point l was in Bourke Street Mall, the crowd spanned from there to the steps of Parliament and about 100 metres behind me.
Crowd was pretty well behaved, despite pro-Palestinian counter protesters trying to engage the pro-Australian group (which was much larger). I heard several people from the latter group complaining about being spat on by the counter protesters.
The police actually did a pretty good job, they forced the counter protesters with officers on horseback and foot back up Swanston Street. The mob was chanting “F**k Nazi Scum”.
Unfortunately a Neo-Nazi representative was allowed to address the crowd at Parliament- so that will no doubt be the most emphasised aspect of the march in MSM.
220
Shame the nazis got a chance to speak. Noticed they got to the front of nearly every march. Two photo ops that went to waste. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN OPENLY HECKLED WHERE EVER THEY TURNED. Noticed the police escorted this mob out of the crowd and then waited for them to dress back in casual gear so they could “Disappear”

Victoria can keep their bans. So long as more sensible state governments exist Victoria will fall further and further behind. Chrisafulli has the perfect opportunity to make Queensland the power state. People already want to go there and as Victoria closes down more of them will move North. Besides the weather is nicer. Queensland should quit the East Coast grid and use any surplus generation to encourage manufacturing.

There are three issues that really matter, that really hurt, and that neither party can effectively touch: immigration, energy, and housing.
Why these three issues? No issues are more salient and painful to young Australians and as ignored by both major parties. Why ignored? For good reason: like almost everywhere, Australians are getting older. And older Australians are levered to house prices (include primary residences in the pension assets test!) and the stock market (through their savings and tax-subsidised superannuation accounts). Immigration pumps both: it drives housing demand, fuels consumption, and suppresses wages. Two-thirds of households are home owners, and so no policy to lower prices is going to win a majority, for which both major parties have to play. But it really might win a minority! Which is the whole logic of minority wedge politics.
Energy is no less crucial. Expensive energy makes everything else expensive. We want energy abundance. And we can have it.
https://www.kvetch.au/p/australian-foment
260
I expect that home-owners will be very well represented in the protest. Some people – many people – make that most people – care more about their country than the monetary value of their home or Super. They also know that if their country collapses they have neither home nor Super.
150
I agree Mike. As an old home owner with super I want to say that first, the best security in old age is a paid off home, and second, we were told to save for our retirement so we did and now Jim wants to take our savings and give them to the young. Those young should be concerned because they will get old one day and another Jim might come along and take their savings. The young might also consider that the money Jim is taking to buy their votes is the money they probably would have received from mum and dad. Lose, lose. And what guarantee does Jim give that all of the $100 he takes from me will be given to some young folk. Jim will skim, 10%? 60%?
161
If you have an aged population past retirement age, low birthrates, and no immigration, where is the productivity and resultant taxation revenue going to come from?
223
Aha! So that’s why they want a Carbon Tax!
Tony.

If you wandered outside of your woke-green bubble you would see there is a very significant housing crisis caused by mass immigration that has completely swamped our capacity to provide housing and services. What we need are targeted skills and sustainable immigration, which would be closer to 100k per year, rather than the current low skilled 500k mass immigration that is targeted to provide votes for the ALP to keep them in forever power, even if it destroys our social fabric.
160
I hope you have a most excellent protest.
It will be interesting to see the difference between what the tv news shows and what people at the protest say.
420
The left here are using the racism tag as usual and ignoring that in multicultural Australia many ethnic backgrounds are Australians.
152
What would the protestors on either side do if the print & TV media simply ignored their tantrums and didn’t report anything at all. No photos, no comment…….Silence !!
I believe they’d give all the dramatics up if they’d simply be ignored. Fat chance of course this is what the left thrive on. Just remember there’s a simple solution to it!
81
No human is illegal.
Unless unvaccinated.
And …
it’s migrant, not immigrant.
(The Euphemism Treadmill.)
‘Immigrant’ implies you have a nation.
Which is racist.
Migrants get a free hotel and medical care.
Paid for by the taxes imposed on you by your nation.
Which you shouldn’t have.
(That’s why we encourage you to fly a flag for your sexual preference, but not your nation.)
Everyone will be a migrant as soon as the UN/EU abolishes borders (after restoring the Ukraine border) …
and reestablishes historical migration routes.
For the animals.
When humans do it it’s colonialism.
(Again, Euphemism Treadmill, try to keep up.)
260
Australia has three official national flags.
1) The Australian National Flag, once known as the Commonwealth Blue Ensign.
2) The Aboriginal flag, which until recently waa a privately owned copyrighted symbol for which royalties had to be paid to use. The Government purchased the rights for $20 million.
3) The Torres Strait Islander flag.
Our communist PM likes standing in front of (2) and (3) but not (1).
The one thing missing is the sexual preference flag which is odd because our PM has never missed a Sydney Gay Mardis Gras, all 47 of them.
No doubt the Government will soon want to replace the Australian National Flag with the sexual preference flag.
261
But what about NZ’ers and numerous Middle East types? 😆
50
A nation and its’ symbol inspires fidelity.
A flag to a sexual preference not so much.
I reckon fidelity is an anachronism to globalist types.
90
I expect that home-owners will be very well represented in the protest. Some people – many people – make that most people – care more about their country than the monetary value of their home or Super. They also know that if their country collapses they have neither home nor Super.
100
I suppose there are laws about requiring governments to adequately (market rates?) compensate people for the confiscation of private real estate.
Consider if private real estate was “forbidden”.
Its market value would be zero.
And therefore the compensation required to be paid would be zero.
Hopefully as long as elections are meaningful, that will not happen.
50
As expected, the MSM is linking this rally with Nazis and white supremacists and will use that brush to tarnish anyone that marches. You can see the double standard here with Hamas flags being flow at recent Palestinian protests and yet the government and MSM was silent and called these peaceful protests. I think most naturalised Australians can see what’s happening here, that this is not just a protest on mass immigration, it’s a protest to save our culture and national identity, which is being destroyed before our eyes. People now get arrested for flying the national flag and every other flag is now being flown to stake a new claim of ownership on what was once Australia, and that’s considered legitimate. And it’s the same in the UK, where we now see people trying to fly their national flags in protest and the government workers being ordered to take them down. This is ground zero on the war against the west, but unlike WW1 and WW2, it’s our own political class, MSM and academics that have become the enemy of the state and are now stamping out the last flames of resistance, so they can remake society in a new and very scary vision.

Indeed, l remarked on a placard at the Melbourne protest today that read “Make Orwell Fiction Again”.

In Sydney the is a marathon, closing the harbour bridge, and 3 separate rallies, be interesting to see which has the biggest crowds. March for Australia could not have picked a worse day. Not, the marathon is an international event and has been scheduled for over a year.
(Sound of on hand clapping)
342
Protesting against the destruction of the country is more important than “bread and circuses” events like a marathon.
410
Don’t knock it David! It is a real buzz to run across the Harbor Bridge. The marathon can be entered freely- it is not elite entertainment.
90
Some wags would say that describes most of your posts…
201
‘March for Australia could not have picked a worse day.’
It worked out okay, the Marathon was run and won in record time, so now they can get on with the March after the stragglers finish.
Albanese is using inappropriate language calling law abiding citizens ‘hateful’ and the Guardian has managed to put us all in with the Neo-Nazis, Anarchists and Sovereign Citizens.
210
Yes, we had heard that there will be an attempt to connect the March for Oz with this weird “sovereign” movement associated with the fugitive.

You’re right. The ABC has had a go:

60
I will be at the Brisbane rally, with a camera or two. I will be watchful for anything that might indicate the rally has been ‘infiltrated’ by troublemakers.
I also hope these protest don’t get hijacked by the likes of Clive Palmer, who tried to take over the anti-lockdown protests, basically to promote himself. One of the protests I attended was also hijacked by a local aboriginal rights mob. I didn’t attend any further marches after that.
240
It is good idea by regular non-Elite Australians who want to try to arrest the engineered economic and social destruction of their country.
My fear is that violent Leftists such as National Socialists, Antifa, pro-Hamas people etc. will attend and hijack it and this is what Government and the Lamestream Media will focus on. The Left destroy or try to destroy everything.
That shouldn’t be a reason not to attend however. It is a grassroots movement by regular Australians of all races and backgrounds.
I hope politicians understand and take notice.
390
Linked article below sets forth the idea that if governing politicians stop listening to their citizens in favor of ideological goals, then civil unrest is inevitable. I, for one, agree.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/08/a_little_girl_in_scotland_her_knife_and_axe_and_the_inevitable_civil_war_in_the_u_k.html
In furtherance of that missive, in the UK it was recently, publicly stated that British Citizens views on immigration policies and public safety are irrelevant:
https://www.infowars.com/posts/it-still-doesnt-matter-now-the-entire-british-establishment-is-against-the-british-people-things-will-only-get-worse
My point is that Governments seem to have no qualms about ignoring the citizenry in pursuit of their ideology. This can lead to nothing good.
300
David, you are an optimist…..politicians understanding & taking notice???
This is exactly what politicians want! Division!!
140
And revenue at any price to keep the show afloat…
Give the man a prize for understanding.
People *still* (precipice just ahead) just don’t see (or want to see) the big picture because when you do, you realise how trivial things like protests are when framed against much bigger and unavoidable events looming large.
Well at least the war in Gaza is over thanks to global protests. /sarc
Now ask yourselves why it isn’t.

She’ll be right mate! Experts in the SMH Propaganda Column have pointed out that although there are now only 25 real democracies of the 200 nations on Earth.. Australia is one of course, and they gleefully point out that America under Trump is not, there is hope for the world!
So while leaders are apparently becoming more autocratic each year, its not the fault of the Left-wing Govts in power around the world, of course its the fault of Trump and the wicked Axis of Evil including Iran and Russia, both using the internet to confuse and mis-inform our weak-minded voters.
Then they smear individual-minded people with “The growth of the self-described “sovereign citizen” movement is, itself, an example of these foreign influence campaigns turbocharging local suspicions and divisions. ”
..but to show light at the end of the tunnel they give us hope with-
“Australia, which remains one of the final 25 full democracies long after the United States, France, Hungary and South Korea have been relegated by the Economist Intelligence Unit to the ranks of “flawed democracies”, is a pioneer in trying to protect itself from the worst online harms. … Australia’s last line of defence is the eSafety commissioner. And she is about to become the prime target of the great wannabe dictator, Donald Trump. ”
I don’t know what country Peter Hartcher lives in, but its not the Australia I live in! One thing I do know is that censorship never works, it destroys trust faster than anything else!

We also shouldn’t forget that the sovereign movement began during COVID when you could get arrested for simply leaving your house. Today, government is effectively stealing farmers land or making land unlivable with 320m wind turbines, all by stealth. The government creates these movements by it’s very own authoritarian measures and then uses them as an excuse to impose even more authoritarian measures. It also blows them out of proportion, where one or two individuals becomes a ‘movement’ that must be crushed whilst it stands by and does nothing when thousands of people march at the Opera house chanting death to the Jews.
360
You know what that reminds me, Serge? Their unnatural obsession with Jews?
The extermination camps marches in May 1945.
The soldiers was desperately needed for the war effort but they were used to drive around 300k prisoners.

Why was there a hitpeice “Sovereign Citizen” 4 Corners program ,on multiple ABC channels, over a couple of days preceding the tragic Police action in Victoria ,with Sovereign Citizen being part of the leadup for the news commentary on the event?
70
“Then they smear individual-minded people with “The growth of the self-described “sovereign citizen” movement”
I think it very poor form right at this moment to bring in “sovereign citizen”. It will exacerbate the despair in the families and relatives of the two dead and one severely injured policemen.

All democracies are flawed, to one degree or another, but its still the best system on offer.
72
” but its still the best system on offer.”
But not the best system of governing! In fact a disaster everywhere it is used, always leading to a Socialist tyranny where the rich rob the middle-class to give crumbs to the lower class.
Just appoint a few hundred people via lottery, like a jury. No slimy politicians when there is no career path!

There be so much support up country and the bush but can’t participate due to distance. This country is emasculated (if i can use such a word) politically and the people feel powerless. I will keep an eye on things for a year but My family are seriously thinking of emigrating. It’s that bad.
221
But surely if you emigrate you are a migrant and as such are suspected by the powerless residents of the country to which you emigrate

[snip], Ian, you might just grasp the concept of mass, uncontrolled and largely illegal migration which is unpopular with normal, patriotic, largely indigenous (don’t your side love that term?) freedom loving populations fed up with their views being completely ignored by the parasites they thought represented them.

I am an immigrant myself, from the UK in 1999. I arrived having been offered a role managing a scientific instrument company, a job I had many years experience in and bringing a set of specific skills impossible to find in Australia at that time. We followed all the rules and, as soon as we were able, secured citizenship. I no longer hold a UK passport.
I brought money with me, having sold all our assets (house, cars, etc) and this was invested likewise in Oz. Within a week of arriving, I was in the office.
Over the following few years, I personally brought millions of dollars in overseas funds into Australia through the sale of instruments to many countries, including Russia, China, Switzerland, France and Brazil.
And so I support immigration, but only where it benefits Australia or, more specifically, existing Australian citizens. Immigrants should (setting apart genuine humanitarian cases) come here legally, by invitation only and prove that they can support themselves, pay taxes, contribute to the nation in a positive way and, most importantly, happily assimilate with or complement our culture and norms.
580
That was exactly how Australian immigration policy successfully worked until recent decades when the Labor Party (like Democrats in the US) discovered that they could entrench themselves forever (or try to) by the mass importation of some of the world’s most uneducated, violent, misogynistic, unassimilable, anti-Western people, who would be life-long welfare recipients and thus Labor voters in perpetuity. Plus they would accelerate societal decay by crime, violence and general social disruption, all in accordance with the interests of the Left to destroy civil society.

“Blaming migration for housing stress is a diversion…” and “The so-called “supply and demand” argument is a comforting myth,” according to Kos Samaras. I accept the other causes, but I don’t accept migration has no bearing on prices, it’s more a matter of ‘how much’.
The real question is do governments (including Jim Chalmers’ gang) actually want to see house prices become more affordable, which is code for cheaper, since that would mean millions of home owners and mortgagees seeing their house prices drop and in the case of the latter, their current debt-to-equity tank.
110
Don’t forget that bracket creep is a government strategy to milk the public for more money via levies like stamp duty, rubbish collection and fire services etc. All linked to ever increasing house prices as a percentage. The greater value your property, the more governments at all levels can syphon off.
180
Its a shame he didn’t delve into why house prices are so high. That is mainly sheeted back to Govt regulations, from zoning land to how many door between the toilet and the kitchen, from taxes when you buy a house to taxes when you sell it..
If you want cheap housing burn every regulation pertaining to housing and then you will see supply and demand fix the problem quickly. You will have “informal settlements” as per South Africa, but everyone will be housed and working hard to get out of the slum they are living in.
When I was living in Cape Town a maid would earn about what we were paying for the dole over here, yet she would have a house that she was invested in and looked after.
We are doing something wrong…
150
7 star insulation and fire regulations have upfront costs.
As do “higher quality” (and safer) streets (including pre-building all the utility services). Empty building lots seem to be a lot more expensive than a few years ago.
Lot sizes that will not support a septic system (or trees) will prove to be counter productive. If you want population density require multi-story buildings. Of course those who want children will find those high rises less desirable with such arrivals.
Employment and education (and amenities) need to be de-centralized.

Just happen to be in Melbourne today, watching the marchers go past NGV towards the station. Very peaceable crowd.
150
I would have been a little further down St Kilda Rd when you posted your comment. Despite the big crowd, it was fairly easy to move about. There were people from all walks of life, but most were courteous and respectful. The violent images you will see in the MSM probably happened at the head of the march, l didn’t witness any major incidents. As far as l can tell, the counter protesters were getting mobile and looking to engage the pro-Australia protesters. And that’s what you’ll see on TV.
150
There you go.
Govt and Police talking about Nazis, terrorists etc and mewling about Dezi getting away with double murder.
As predicted, they are ignoring the point of the protest- to limit future increase in migrant population that is restricting our way of life.
It remains to be seen whether any of the MSM will even acknowledge the true purpose of the march.

When does bore water become mineral water and worth more than petrol?
I have an excellent bore tapping run off from the hill behind me, refreshed every year. The topic of Li earlier caused me to wonder if it were common in ground water. If so there is no reason not to drink the bore water. I am drinking a glass now and it is tasteless so I will run it through the Stafani filter.
BTW our town supply is fluoridated. an issue on which I am agnostic.

That link in Jo’s post suggests that soil levels of lithium might be reasonable over a lot of Oz.
I will ask some questions re levels in Great Artesian Basin water and report if I get anything.
This came up at Chiefio –
“@another ian — Looked it up, and nuts & beans, especially walnuts, have alot of lithium. But peanuts, my favorite, apparently don’t have much.”
“Himalayan Pink Salt has some lithium in it (along with just about every other mineral too), so I ordered some from Amazon. (they also sell tablets of lithium stuff)… https://themeadow.com/pages/minerals-in-himalayan-pink-salt-spectral-analysis”

My water is run off through granite [looked up the rock type of Mt Stuart]. Searched on that topic but I don’t understand geology.
The predominant rock type at Mount Stuart is granite, which formed approximately 265 million years ago from the slow cooling of molten rock beneath the Earth’s surface.
This granite is a remnant of granitic intrusions that have been exposed over time due to erosion.
The rock is described as rugged due to extensive jointing within the granite formation.

Hope everyone makes it home safely tonight…

Just got back from the Brisbane march. It was huge. Everybody was cheerful and well behaved. I attended the pre-march muster in Roma St parkland, then marched for about a third of the route before having to leave.
Everybody was cheerful and friendly, well behaved and courteous. The only provocation came from a small group of those lovely indigenous people, who were hurling abuse at us as we walked towards the muster, then some young females who were trying to provoke people early in the march but were being ignored.
Needless to say, the propaganda has started to flow already with the local Courier Mail claiming that we were shouting and chanting pretty awful things, none of which I heard. In fact, when a couple near me tried twice to start a crude chant about Albanese, they were told to stop by others around them.
Now I’ll wait to hear how utterly horrible I am, and how we ‘Nazis and fascists’ terrified everyone – from the mainstream media.

The Australian is already calling the marchers “right-wing extremists”. Very sad.

So, not for the first time, little children, toddlers, teens, young adults, parents and oldies, all well-dressed, well-behaved, polite, well spoken and calm are now the definition of right-wing extremists …

Thought l recognised the Roma St Parklands from a video watched on the train ride home. The resident water dragons would have been scared senseless!
I got home and watched opening minutes of channel 7 news- they highlighted the violence. Zero mention of the protests in other cities except a mention of some cretin who displayed a placard in Adelaide supporting the Victorian cop killer on the run.

“Now I’ll wait to hear how utterly horrible I am, and how we ‘Nazis and fascists’ terrified everyone – from the mainstream media.”
The really discombobulating thing is … it is they who are very clearly the actual fascists.
They demand centralized government censorship.
They use race for political division.
They seek to enhance corporate power to impose controls restricted by constitutional law.
They believe truth is created rather than sought.
My ancestors once famously said “we hold the truths to be self-evident”.
They are trying, but they will never undo the natural law of free thought and self defense.
And they will fail to redefine freedom as only privileges rationed by government.
Perhaps a pertinent snippet.
The 9th amendment to the US Constitution.
Text of the Amendment: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Purpose: It was created to ensure that just because a right is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, it does not mean that the right does not exist.

Was at the Brisbane march. Very polite crowd. Very big. News said 6000. Multiply that a few times. Police thanked the crowd on the news in the evening. One person arrested but they didn’t say whether a protestor or counter-protestor. A common chant was “Albo’s a wanker”. It never got old. 🙂

Appreciation to all those who marched today for this country, for the future of Australians, and for our culture and beliefs.

Forget the Nazis — THESE Aussies Are the REAL Story of Today’s March

Writing at 8pm Sunday, Melbourne, after the TV news reports have sunk in.
Utter disgrace. ABC TV in particular repeated over and over “neo-Fascist” when describing the crowds bedecked with Union Jacks. No estimate of people counts yet, but on balance -balance, ABC, it is in your charter – would suggest less than 1% of marching Aussies were Fascists.
Now, ABC, what % of the Muslim marching crowd was neo-Fascist? Should it be stated, for balance?
The Fed pollies interviewed were against the expression of freedom from both the Aussie and Mussie crowds. Of course they were, they were being criticised big time. Circle the wagons, protect your pay and pensions. Several referred to “social cohesion” as desirable, without expressing a clue about how to achieve it, while witnessing big mobs bashing each other.
Reality in news reporting was far from Flinders Street Station today.

ABC was full Pravda media tonight. The term “violent” protest was the first headline, yet they didn’t say whether it was the counter protestors or the Australian flag wavers. They just wanted to use the term “Violent” in the same line as the term “Anti-immigrant”. It’s a smear…

Well,there’s no independent media to speak of – save for some you tubers. Good effort folks now go home and behave say the blob. Obey. Your march was futile.

While everyone’s fussing over the March here today, I’ve been watching other things.

Populations worldwide are on the brink of exploding with rage as the consequence of intolerable government stupidity and corruption.
I wouldn’t want to be a polly now.

My opinion only: every child in this country should start saving in crypto. By the time they are 30, they will be the wealthiest generation ever. Patriots should have the upper hand in wealth and resources. We the people will call the shots from now on.

Don’t worry – the legislation will be retrospective (/s)

As a Brit I was shocked to read this and previous posts. We’re forever being exhorted to follow Australia’s lead in “stopping the boats”. The pro-immigration lobby hasn’t caught on yet, but when they do they’ll milk it.
