Australia has been profoundly betrayed. Canberra is not governing in the interests of the people; politicians are systematically entrenching their own authority against us.
Their greatest fear appears to be a strong, proud, united citizenry rising to demand accountability and reclaim what has been taken.
That is why every crisis, every tragedy, every perceived emergency, is ruthlessly exploited to disarm us, silence us, divide us, overburden us with taxes, flood our borders with unchecked migration, and poison our culture with divisive ideologies.
New laws are almost never passed for the safety or wellbeing of the populace; they are passed to protect those in power from the consequences of their own failures.
This betrayal did not begin yesterday.
It has been creeping up for decades, a slow but relentless erosion of the freedoms and self-reliance that once defined us.
From the 1996 gun confiscation after Port Arthur, to the gradual expansion of surveillance powers under the banner of national security post-2001, to the introduction of anti-terror laws that quietly broadened into tools against ordinary dissent, the pattern has been consistent: exploit fear to centralise control.
Anthony Albanese, in his position as Prime Minister, personifies this glaring hypocrisy. Labor lectures law-abiding Australians on the need to surrender their firearms in the pursuit of ‘community safety’, yet he travels surrounded by an armed federal police detail.
The message could not be more explicit: your right to self-protection is dispensable; the security of the political class is non-negotiable.
Disarming the People
The process began in earnest with the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.
Following the tragedy, John Howard’s government imposed uniform gun laws and a massive buyback that removed hundreds of thousands of firearms from law-abiding citizens.
Decades later, the Bondi tragedy of December 2025 provided the latest pretext for gun buybacks.
Within days, the NSW Parliament was urgently recalled and the most draconian restrictions since 1996 were rammed through. Ownership is to be capped at four firearms for ordinary citizens, ten for farmers. Licences are restricted to Australian citizens only, with drastically shortened validity periods. A national buyback scheme designed to confiscate any weapon deemed ‘surplus’.
Police have also been granted sweeping new powers to ban public protests for months following any serious incident.
Law-abiding hunters, farmers, and sporting shooters are the ones being punished, while criminals, bikie gangs, and terrorists continue to arm themselves unchecked.
I believe these laws will result in a defenceless population that cannot effectively resist government overreach.
This is deliberate depowering at every opportunity.
The Immigration Con
Under Labor’s 2025-26 migration program, Australia has experienced some of the highest permanent migration intakes in its history.
Housing has become unaffordable for a generation, rents have soared to record levels, hospitals and schools are overwhelmed, infrastructure has buckled under the strain, and yet the gates remain wide open.
Decades ago, there was a shift from assimilationist policies in the 1970s to official multiculturalism under Hawke and Keating. This was followed by sustained high-intake programs across the Howard, Rudd-Gillard, and Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison eras.
Each government promised economic benefits while quietly transforming the demographic fabric.
Mass immigration without adequate planning or integration erodes our shared national identity and fragments the electorate into competing cultural blocs.
People divided by language, values, and loyalties cannot easily unite against a common adversary in Canberra. The resulting housing crisis, strained public services, and wage suppression are not unfortunate side effects, they are features of a system designed to keep Australians preoccupied with infighting.
Patriotism, the very glue that could bind us in resistance, is deliberately diluted, ensuring no coherent national movement can emerge to challenge the status quo.
Woke Ideology: Deliberately Weakening Society’s Backbone
While much of the Western world is awakening to the dangers of extreme identity politics and beginning to reject it, Australia’s institutions, universities, schools, public broadcasters, and government departments, are doubling down.
Divisive ideologies that prioritise grievance, victimhood, and enforced conformity over individual resilience and merit are pushed relentlessly.
Traditional Australian mateship has been undermined, replaced by an atmosphere of perpetual suspicion and offence-taking. Honest, robust debate is increasingly branded as intolerable.
This cultural shift began gathering pace in the 1990s with the expansion of identity-based curricula and has accelerated under both major parties ever since.
The effect is devastating: a society fractured into warring identity factions cannot stand united.
National pride is now portrayed as problematic, resilience has been recast as privilege, and strength has given way to fragility. This cultural sabotage serves one overriding purpose, to ensure that any potential for collective resistance at the polls is neutralised before it can take root.
A weakened, divided society poses no threat to entrenched power.
Covid Overreach
Australians endured the longest and harshest lockdowns on the planet. Playgrounds were taped off, solitary walkers were hunted by drones, and peaceful protesters were met with force.
Trust in public institutions was shattered, mental health suffered lasting damage, and small businesses were crushed.
Yet the surveillance infrastructure, emergency powers, and censorship mechanisms developed during that period remain firmly in place.
The pandemic demonstrated exactly how much obedience can be extracted through fear, and how effectively those tools can be redeployed in the next manufactured crisis.
There is a concern that this was never solely about health; it was a dress rehearsal for total control, building on decades of creeping surveillance powers introduced under anti-terrorism pretexts.
Climate Alarmism: Manufacturing Dependency Through Economic Pain
Aggressive Net Zero targets continue to drive energy prices to crippling heights, devastate rural communities, and funnel billions to favoured green industries.
Reliable baseload power is demonised and phased out, replaced by intermittent sources that require endless taxpayer subsidies. Independent households are transformed into dependents, reliant on government rebates and handouts to survive the bills.
A population that is financially stressed, exhausted, and grateful for state assistance does not rise up in electoral revolt.
This is engineered poverty by design, rooted in commitments that began with the Kyoto Protocol in the 1990s and have only intensified.
Media Capture and Speech Suppression
The eSafety Commissioner operates as an unelected arbiter of truth, demanding the global removal of content deemed unacceptable.
Misinformation and Disinformation legislation has been repeatedly repackaged and reintroduced. The world-first social media ban for those under 16 is, I believe, merely a testing ground for broader age-based and content-based controls. Digital ID systems advance steadily. Expanded hate-speech laws, anti-protest restrictions, and the selective financial de-banking of dissidents complete the arsenal.
The groundwork was laid decades ago with media concentration reforms that favoured incumbents and gradual expansions of defamation and vilification laws. Nothing terrifies the political class more than uncontrolled truth spreading freely. When the government and its allies control the narrative, potential political opposition cannot organise, mobilise, or even find one another. Dissent is isolated, demonised, and extinguished.
Taxed into Submission: Breeding Exhaustion and Reliance
Bracket creep, ever-rising income taxes, and uncontrolled welfare spending have extracted more and more from working Australians while expanding the scope of government dependency.
Families have been left depleted, their savings eroded, futures uncertain, and yet they are expected to be thankful for the occasional rebate or payment that keeps them afloat.
Economic exhaustion is a powerful antidote to political activism.
This has been building since the introduction of the GST in 2000 and the steady ratcheting of brackets ever since.
Other Deliberate Weaknesses: Economic Rot, Indoctrinated Youth, and Social Decay
The sabotage extends further. Governments have tolerated economic stagnation with weak growth and declining competitiveness; a housing emergency deliberately exacerbated by migration policy; surging youth crime waves met with soft responses; mental-health crises lingering from lockdowns and economic stress.
Our circumstances have been exploited; an education system that increasingly prioritises ideological conformity over critical thinking, rigour, and practical skills. Indigenous policy failures have bred resentment rather than reconciliation. Every societal vulnerability is either ignored or actively nurtured, because a confident, prosperous, cohesive Australia represents an existential threat to the entrenched political class.
Our leaders are deeply afraid of us. That fear is the one remaining advantage we possess.
It is time to use it.
We must demand the reversal of oppressive laws, the restoration of secure borders, an end to culturally corrosive ideologies, the return of unfettered free expression, and meaningful tax relief. We must unite, at the ballot box, in public discourse, in every available forum.
The fair go has not simply faded, it has been deliberately stolen over decades.
Australia, rise.
