We need to do the inverse: instead of dikes, we must build canals, and make the inland inhabitable for Australians.

The real cultural cringe is being embarrassed about Australia's Britishness.
Republicans will go straight from complaining about "grovelling to foreigners" & "not having pride in Australians" to worshipping Aboriginals & trying to derive legitimacy from them.

"I tell you that highway robbery is only in its infancy, for the white population is [being] driven out of the labour market by an inundation of Mongolians, and when the white man is driven to desperation there will be desperate times." - Ned Kelly (Parkes Letter)
The armor of Ned Kelly, with his Snider-Enfield rifle and one of his boots, dates back to 1880. Ned Kelly was a renowned bushranger who defied the law and became a hero to Australia's rural poor. The armor, made from plough mouldboards, was shaped by blacksmiths in makeshift

Used to be a big thing in Australia until it was banned. Yet another part of our heritage wiped.
Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night is an annual commemoration observed on 5th November, primarily in Great Britain. Dating back to 1605, the event commemorates the failed assassination attempt on the Protestant King James I by Guy Fawkes and his other Catholic conspirators. 🇬🇧

Glory to God!
ABC have called it - it's more important than ever to understand WHY it was never a good idea.
Read thread:
Whether the Voice fails or not tomorrow, it is important to understand 𝙬𝙝𝙮 it is a bad idea: it is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 because of technicalities, the vagueness of the proposal, or "racial division". Opposing the "Voice" on those grounds is weak, dishonest, and feckless. 🧵

If we had an Australian Right worthy of the name, they would use this energy to push for mass resignations, delegitimizing and defunding Voice supporters and their organisations, and destroying the aboriginal-industrial complex: undo native title, welcomes to country, etc.
After the gay marriage plebiscite, the media & establishment were very outspoken in demanding the resignation of conservative mps whos constituents voted yes.
Will Labor mps whos electorates voted NO today be held to the same standard?
