I am too old to be involved in protest marches. There is nothing sillier than old people taking part in such things, even if it is just because of the physical dangers these days. The violent Left don't discriminate against who they shout at or, these days, thump.

And for every group who marches, there is a counter march from another group who cannot bear other people having a say.

But, most of all, these marches are a waste of time. Go back to the Vietnam Moratorium days. Scruffs marching in Melbourne didn't stop the war. Richard Nixon did. And no, he wasn't influenced by marches, which is one of the myths some people kid themselves with.

With the big welcome back the Albanese government got from Australian voters, they don't have to take any notice of people blocking traffic for no practical reason.

Non-violent public protest is a necessary and legitimate part of the good functioning of liberal democratic society like Australia. The Vietnam War moratoriums certainly help to shift public opinion to a majority position of disagreement with Australia's involvement. If you want to call running like a scared jackrabbit with its pants on fire, then yes Tricky Dicky did stop the war. The Americans couldn't run fast enough, leaving thousands of their Vietnamese lackeys (traitors) to face the music, or the firing squad.

Very happy to see you’ve moved camp to Nuremberg. Welcome aboard!

Nuremberg Dan,

Marches with torch light processions would be right up your ally, bring back memories of the good old days.

“What do you think adding seven million people to Australia’s population in 20 years does? Our housing shortfall is not a supply issue - it’s a mass migration issue. We will never meet demand, when demand is infinite.”

Direct quote, from the flyer for the October March. Australians want much lower migration, but the Labor-Liberal axis flatly refuses to engage with them. For the time being at least, the Marches are the only democratic "opposition" that voters have. Next up, Australia Day.

Thanks Bettina Arndt for the article.
I think that MFA is one of the few place where the issue of mass immigration and social cohesion can be discussed without being cancelled in the non-democratic media environment. The media and politicians are very careful not to present both sides of the argument. Apparently Bob Hawke mentioned this conspiracy of silence in his memoire's but sadly I haven't been able to confirm this. To Peter Dutton's great credit he broke this silence in the Uniparty before the last election and started talking about the mass immigration elephant in our little room. For nations that don't have the discipline to manage their birth rate, Australia's immigration rate will never be high enough. For Woke Marxist ideologies that want to destroy white people, Australia's immigration rate will never be high enough. For Australia's whose ancestors created Australia, they want a nation to give to their children, their descendants, it needs to be rolled back. It seems that Marxist's want to destroy all cultures except Marxism, in fact, isn't that what they've told us? Marx said communism is inevitable, James Burnham said communism isn't inevitable. If students thought more about what value they can provide to the community, gaining polity experience and action, rather than polity abstract theory and talk, maybe people would be more equal. Marx reminds me of Grigori Rasputin.

It's interesting to see the big chain stores seeing declining profits with rising immigration rather than the hoped for windfalls. As many immigrants don't have the same loyalties to Aussie companies. Disloyalty creates disloyalty it seems, in a "diverse equitable universal nihilistic" race to the bottom.

Every culture needs their own nation.
