Melbourne, Australia’s fastest growing city and Australia’s largest became a witness to the people today. What transpired today should have not been a surprise to anyone especially Anthony Albanese who at the last election was voted in for a second term of preferences with less than 1 in 3 people voting for a second Albanese term.
Australia in many ways is at a crossroads, more and more immigration seeing millions of people landing on our shores into a usually tolerant country and accepting of immigration but without any house to live in. At the same time, we have australian’s who have lived here for decades unable to pay the rent and unable to find a home.
Students cannot find a share house in which to live and house prices have become unaffordable to all except the wealthy.
This cannot and should not continue.
The people of Australia are asking if not begging for a pause, and that pause should be granted.
Today I witnessed what I believe to be a minimum of 60,000 people floods the streets of Australia’s largest city and a city preferred by those moving to Australia. It was a peaceful and dignified march, not a protest, but a statement from the heart, enough is enough we cannot take anymore.
I saw Australian national flags, the aboriginal flag, the torres strait islander flag, the eureka southern cross (the birth of democracy and rightful defence of oppression) being waved in the march. There was even an italian flag in the crowd I witnessed in Collins Street. All of those marching say enough is enough and we need to take back form the government this immigration lunacy driving up house prices, driving our children onto the street and pushing up our cost of living.
In a bizarre show of defiance coupled with an uncaring and arrogant stance, Jacinta Allan was seen several weeks ago handing over the keys of a tax payer funded house to a new immigrant at the same time walking over our homeless in Melbourne between Spring Street and the government offices in Exhibition Street.
Governments in Australia have become completely focused on what they want and no longer represent the people. They line their pockets and allow (in the case of Anthony Albanese), wholesale immigration Gaza and Palestine without security checks and with accomodation freely available to them and not Australians.
Overall the march did not involve splinter groups, it avoided the Gaza and Palestine Sunday protest and allowed Australians who own this country to peacefully and directly send a message to Canberra and other state governments, it is time to pause immigration and better support those already here.
Great photos and good write up.
I did not go but looks like a lot of people did. We need to slow the immigration numbers until we catch up. We have infrastructure issues and cannot house people here already.
Just so much delusion it is hard to put a finger on it.
Delusion with what exactly?
Do you have anything constructive to add?
If you lay down with dogs, you get fleas. When you let the NSN freely talk at your rallies, you are complicit with them. You credibility becomes zero.
Excuse me, I did not participate in the march I simply covered it for my blog posts here.
What is the NSN?
What has really happened here is Australia voiced its concerns in a peaceful march highlighting utter government failure this was never about race its about deliberate failure against the Australian people then they come out swinging against the population gaslighting this is not government anymore.
Sadly the Police Minister called people a “GRUB” that is terrible and we should all remember that when the election rolls around in a little over 12 months from now.
I understand their protest…..it is NOT anti Migration…..it is against the policy pushed by major party which MASS migration at the expense of Nation Security and Wellbeing of AUS….
They can call me r#cist for holding the country flag, but it seem they could be ones who are by getting huge amounts of migrants some from warrning nations who has no intentions of assimating in AUS culture and laws, bought in as refugees who are unvetted importing their hateful ideological belief from where they came from for votes!!!
It not anti migration….we want quality NOT quantity…..as some use student visa and got no intention to leave after their studies are done and some are insisting AUS change their laws to cater for them!!!
IF they come in intergrate, contribute to AUS society and embrace the country’s culture they are welcome but for those who want to disrupt and demanding majority of Australian some with several generations in Australia to change their cultural identity cause disruption and burn our country flag should be classified as “illegal migrants” and mass deported back where they came from!!!
