Absolutely. My family and I want to the Brisbane "March for Australia" ... I won't bother retelling our experience again, check my post history if you like - but it wasn't peaceful.

One of the lines we heard often from that screaming jeering pushy crowd was "I don't mind immigrants, I'm not racist, I just don't want the illegal immigrants here."

Mate, we're a fucking island, this isn't America. We put the illegal immigrants in an offshore detention centre ffs. It's not like they're hopping the border.

    Most illegal immigrants are poms that have overstayed their working-holiday visa.

    Yeah... I don't think there are as many of those as you think.

    No Aussie drivers licence, no healthcare, most places won't rent to you, can't build a life really.

    It's hard enough to build a life while minimising the data you spread around, but with the sheer number of services that require id and proof of right to be here I can't imagine there are a ton of these people.

    Idiots. They haven't learnt from last election when they embraced aunty Gina's Trump policy push. They are hoping the rhetoric poisons society enough that they cruise to an election victory on it. They don't deserve to govern.

    I won't vote Liberal until they promise to build a wall entirely around Australia AND Tasmania, and implement 150% tariffs because everything is too cheap.

    It's been like this for 150 years, it's just more vocal lately.
