Australia we have a problem
And this one is fair dinkum
I’ve never been one to buy into scaremongering. I am a realist. I base my opinions on facts, not fantasy or conspiracy theories. And I am a fervent advocate of ‘Occam's razor’ theory — that the simplest, most elegant explanation is usually the one closest to the truth. So it follows that I am not one to hit the panic button prematurely, yet I am concerned. Aussies’ apathy and easygoing nature are putting our freedoms and our way of life at risk — and I can’t stay silent anymore.
Let me preface this by saying I do not care if you are Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Satanist, Gay, Bi, Vulcan or Trans. I believe in personal freedoms and self-determination. I have no opinion on what or who you choose to believe in. But when your ideology or beliefs translate into hate, violence and racism that threatens the freedoms and lifestyle which I and my fellow Australians — who love our country — stand for, then it’s time to get up and fight.
The Australian Value Statement “Australian society values respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, Parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women and a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play and compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good”. — Department of Home Affairs
And this is by no means an immigration issue alone. During the five decades that I have lived in the land down-under, we have been blessed with a period of peaceful existence. Australia consistently ranks highly in global indexes as a desirable destination to live, work, study and invest. We are one of the most multicultural countries in the world and home to the world's oldest living culture.
Yet this era of abundance and peace seems to have given rise to a cancerous growth of discontent that has taken root in the extreme left, and grafted onto any cause that opposes western values, which of course includes the Gazans, but includes their oppressors — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthies and the rest.
This is how we come to find ourselves with ‘feminists’ and ‘queers’ championing the misogynistic, barbaric, homophobic Islamists they call ‘freedom fighters’.
Is there anything more abhorrent than white privileged westerners cosplaying oppression by wearing keffiyehs and head scarfs on the grounds of the most expensive, elitist academic institutions in Australia? I can’t think of anything more pathetic than smug, clueless toddlers masquerading as adults who are chanting in support of the murderous regimes that oppress the people that they claim to support. But I digress.
Today I watched a video of a business owner from Brunswick, Melbourne. Brunswick has traditionally been the home of progressive thinkers, the queer community, cool tattoo shops, academics and more. A rich melting pot of colour, culture and open-mindedness. But the suburb has been taken over by a changing and dark dynamic. Now the home of numerous ‘Pro Pal’ movements, and a breeding ground to the new wave of social media ‘informants’ that call out Jewish businesses to cancel and taunt.
In the video, the owner was visibly broken. From running his business successfully in the area for ten years, he is now facing hate and abuse on a daily basis, due to his Jewish heritage. Today he was told by a puffed-up barely legal blue haired girl, that ‘we don’t wan’t your kind here’. In case you are confused, ‘your kind’ means Jewish.
This is not who Australians are, yet those of us that are trying to speak out are being shunned, shamed, cancelled and abused by the loud and obnoxious left wing nutcases. The voices of reason are drowning in a cesspool of bigotry and hatred that is being cheered on by the farcical Greens Party, influencers like Clementine Ford1 and faux journalists like Antoinette Latouff,2 who care more about protecting extremist muslims than they do about protecting the values of the country in which they live.
The percentage of Muslims in Australia in 2024 is around 3.6 per cent, yet every weekend in our two major capital cities of Sydney and Melbourne, you cannot escape the crowds of thousands disrupting our streets and protesting a conflict on the other side of the world. These protests have taken place every single week for over a year.
The chants started on October 8, in front one of our most iconic structures, the Sydney Opera House, with the characteristic middle eastern flares and chants of “Gas the Jews” — (side note, despite hundreds of live videos, the protestors insisted this was reported incorrectly, they instead declared they were chanting “Where’s the Jews”, as if this was any less unacceptable).
Despite being only 3.6 per cent of the population, the pandering to the muslim vote could easily lead you to believe they were more influential, and maybe thy are. There is now a movement in the Australian Muslim community to mobilise politically to control the 20 federal seats that are muslim majority and could therefore effect an election result.
Now I would have no issue with this, if in fact, the mobilisation effort was for policies that improved Muslim communities in Australia, in keeping with our values. But a quick look at these websites expose that the primary purpose is to demand an arms embargo on Israel; label Israel with war crimes; and to pressure Israel to release all Palestinians prisoners. The Muslim Vote website even rates Australian politicians based on these criteria.3
So to be clear, there are numerous groups in Australia mobilising the Muslim communities vote to sway the outcome of the next federal election (2025), based on issues that are happening thousands of miles away.
A typical weekend in the CBD of Melbourne or Sydney once consisted of a multicultural fusion of all ages, enjoying shopping, food, museums, art galleries and relaxing in public parks. These days you cannot enter the city without being intercepted at some point by an angry mob of muslims, mixed with blue haired non-binary unemployed students (go figure), and the odd left wing extremist ‘influencer’ all donning made-in-china cheap keffiyehs, screaming worn our slogans and carrying cut-outs of terrorist leaders on cardboard backing, whilst waving both Palestinian and terrorists organisation flags in unison.
It is no secret that Islams long term plan is to infiltrate the West through immigration and high birth rates, and to spread their flawed ideology through the colonisation of western civilisation, just as they have in the Middle East and North Africa. What is hard to comprehend is that the far left extremists have unwittingly (or perhaps wittingly) aligned themselves with this far right radicalism and have become their biggest allies.
We are not just fighting radicalisation and terrorism anymore, we are also fighting woke left extremists who proclaim they want to ‘bring down the system’ and ‘destroy capitalism’, while somehow maintaining their adherence to correct pronouns. If this demonic union doesn’t send a chill down your spine, you are not paying attention.
If you feel like you are insulated against the ramifications of this culture war, you are not. A quick look at elite academia will set you straight. If you think that there is time for apathy I encourage you to look at the UK, where there are already functioning Sharia Law Courts, run by the The Islamic Sharia Council (ISC)4 that provides legal rulings and advice to Muslims in accordance with its interpretation of Islamic Sharia. Or take teacher Kevin Lister who was sacked from New College Swindon for refusing to use a students preferred pronoun. Not isolated examples but rather a growing trend of appeasement.
If you have stayed quiet up to this point, I urge you that now is the time speak up. The loud and obnoxious minority are gaining traction through repetition and exposure, and without any pushback, just like a turd rolling downhill, more and more shit will stick to the turd, creating a super-turd. We need to change the trajectory before it’s too late.
If you agree with the separation of church and state, make a stand about that prayer room being installed in your child’s public school. If you have previously avoided politics, educate yourself on a local and federal level. If you, like I have, walked through your local shopping centre and saw Qurans being handed out, write a letter to your local Member. Because while you are sitting around idle the people that pose a threat to our way of life are not — they are mobilising, and they may have a very different idea of a future for Australia than you do.

Thanks for another insightful article. I live in London in the UK. This once-great city is now home to a majority of immigrants, the mayor is a Muslim and an outspoken advocate of woke policies. The Jewish community is faced with an ever growing threat of antisemitic attacks. Never in my 56 years in this city have I experienced such levels of hostility towards me, my family, and my community, simply for being Jewish. It is redolent of the 1930s. The hatred is real and universal; it is spoken by Muslims, Christians, atheists, left and right alike. The mainstream media put forth egregious examples of misreporting that leave the Jews open to more attacks. And there are many who wonder what happened to this country and who is responsible for destroying our way of life. I’m not surprised that there are plenty of Jews who have packed up and moved to Israel because they do not want to live in this climate of hatred and abuse. I am happy for them, but where does the rest of the population go when they cannot tolerate it anymore?
People behave differently as individuals vs a group. There is some threshold beyond which people cease to conform to the majority and start to act as a group. Think of it as "peak Muslim". I forgot who wrote it but they claimed once a minority passes 3% they gain the boldness to flex their political muscles.
I went to an inner city HS in the 90s and there were plenty of Muslims from the Middle East - I honestly can't remember a single word of anti-Israel or anti-Semitism from anyone. Something has happened since then, probably since 2001 Sep 11 - the groups you see active publicly still hadn't attained the confidence to assert themselves yet at that time. No flag waving celebrations then as there were Oct7 last year.
Western civilization is under direct threat from two sources: leftist extremism and the hostile population resulting from having been generous and naive to permit a large culturally & politically heterogenous population to immigrate. Europe is waking up to this (very late!).
