One thing led to another. By Craig Kelly.
On my first trip to Europe over 40 years ago, I was shocked to see police carrying long arms in the streets, and I thought how lucky we were that we didn’t have this in Australia.
But after Whitlam first rejected Vietnamese refugees, calling them “Asian Balts” that he didn’t want in the country (because he thought they’d vote against Labor) the left side of politics worked out that there could be huge numbers of votes in “multiculturalism” and that ethnic voting blocs could easily be manipulated with government handouts.
So they enlisted the woke and the politically correct to vilify & demonise anyone who suggested “assimilation first” branding them as “racists” — as our political class adopted mass migration as a policy.
And now, here we are in 2026, with police having to carry long arms and patrol our beaches, as we scratch our heads and wonder how we ever let this happen.

Comments:
In the 70’s Whitlam denied Vietnamese refugees based on the fact that they’d likely vote conservative. Politically motivated immigration has been a tool of the blob ever since. Neither major party can even say the m word now because they need the m’s vote for power. We’re cooked.
After the Bondi massacre, the current Labor PM leaped at the opportunity to kill free (i.e. uncontrolled) speech.

Albanese also used the Bondi massacre to crack down on Nazis in Australia (how many are there??), because in his simple world it’s Nazis who shoot Jews, as he learned from Schindler’s List:
But in Australia 2025, at Bondi, it wasn’t a Nazi who was shooting Jews:
