We are often told marching does nothing. That is false.
March for Australia has wrested the political agenda out of the hands of the political establishment and returned it to the Australian people.
Across the three rallies since our first march on August 31 last year, Australian politics has increasingly reorganised itself around the issue we put at the centre of national life: ending mass immigration. An issue the establishment wanted kept beyond the bounds of respectable debate is now one of the defining political questions in Australia.
A political course correction is here, it can be seen in the extraordinary rise of One Nation and the collapse of trust in the major parties. They know we’re driving it, despite the increasingly desperate attempts by the uniparty to distance itself from decades of mass immigration carried out under their leadership, they’re also targeting the root cause.
Unable to win the argument, Labor is trying to short-circuit that democratic correction. Its government has tied activists and the broader right up in expanding so called “hate-speech”laws and has taken the extraordinary measure to ban right wing political parties. Speakers at March for Australia rallies have been imprisoned. Activists have been harassed by police and literally barred from attending Anzac Day dawn services. They can see the direction in which the country is moving, so they are changing the rules before Australians can get there.
That is why we are demanding a constitutional referendum to protect freedom of speech. We know our ideas resonate with millions of Australians. A majority want immigration reduced, and an overwhelming majority regard freedom of speech as important.
The Australian right is awakening, organising and growing in confidence. We intend to fight for our country in the open, in the streets, in the public square and at the ballot box, and we will not surrender those freedoms because a frightened political establishment finds our ideas dangerous to its hold on power. The ANZACs fought for a free Australia, and a free Australia we will have.
