Australians have suffered immensely in the past several decades as their nation, like every other Western nation, has been subsumed into the neoliberal order and the political institutions and culture that rule the modern West.
Neoliberalism began to creep in as the post-war consensus broke down across the West, left-wing parties such as Australian Labour gave up the fight for Australian workers, and the Harold Holt government (a ‘right-wing’ government) began dismantling the White Australia Policy which had for more than 70 years ensured that Australia retained its distinct demographic and cultural composition.
The creep of Washington D.C.’s institutions slowly took over Australian policymaking and the Hollywood machine overtook Australia’s media landscape. Today the nation that was once a proud racially conscious member of the British Empire is undergoing a demographic transition which will, if unchecked, result in the Australian population becoming a minority in the country it founded.
The White Australia Policy:
Even before the Federation of the Australian colonies and the formal creation of the White Australia policy the colonial governments were passing restrictions based upon the race and origin of immigrants. The colonial gold rush had brought tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants to Australia and the resulting social tension pressed premiers in colonial administrations to enact a series of laws to restrict all non-Western immigration either explicitly or with the use of language-based testing.
Rightly, though, the Chinese already present in pre-federation Australia were allowed to remain and retain the same political rights White Australians enjoyed. This is largely because the overwhelming majority of the Chinese population at the time was male and began to shrink as the population aged or eventually returned to China.
We endorse policies such as this, minority populations in the West should not be without political representation. We simply oppose the imposition of the Great Replacement.
Upon federation the Barton government, Australia’s first, passed a series of bills which utilized language tests and customs officer’s discretion, among other procedures, to ensure that mass immigration from outside the West could not occur. Barton’s administration did this, in part, because it was supported by the Australian Labour movement and the movement favored explicit race-based immigration and naturalization laws.
Other legislation, such as the Postal and Telegraph Services Act 1901 required that any vessel carrying mail to Australia (which included virtually all vessels of that age) had to have an entirely White crew. This largely prevented non-Western immigrants from boarding vessels bound for Australia.
The Pacific Island Labourers Act of 1901 saw the removal of Kanakas and other Pacific Islander laborers in the country and eventually banned these groups from entering Australia.
All of these pieces of legislation and the executive action taken by the Australian state were designed to ensure that the Australian nation retained its “British character” and way of life.
The policy continued to be one of bipartisan consensus as well, with Labor Prime Minister John Curtain saying at the outbreak of the Second World War:
“This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race”
