On the March for White Australia on January 26:

Briefly:

The white nationalist 'March for Australia' (M4WA) rallies and marches were relatively small, especially considering January 26 is both a public holiday and a holy day of obligation for Australian nationalists. According to the ABC, the largest assembly took place in Brisbane, where as many as 3,000 joined to hear Pauline Hanson whinge and whine, Unkle Cliev Palmer's One Hundred Million Dollar Man Ralph Babet talk shit, and various other PHONys feed the patriotik chooks. Technically, this event was 'Australia Marches', not 'March for Australia', a product of a falling-out among the flagwits responsible for previous rallies; the 'real' M4WA took place on the Gold Coast, and attracted about half the number (1,500) as did Brisbane.

The next largest rallies were reportedly in Melbourne and Sydney which (again according to the ABC) witnessed around 2,000 attend, and where the neo-Nazis who attended and led the processions did so without their Helly Hansen uniforms. One neo-Nazi in Sydney, a (former) National Socialist Network member called Brandan Koschel, was arrested after he gave an (allegedly) antisemitic speech. It was met with applause by the nazis and the flagwits in the crowd, and rally organiser Jesse 'QAnon' Stewart simply Carried On after Koschel's brief diatribe. Stewart's willingness to tolerate (allegedly) antisemitic outbursts such as this is an accurate reflection of the organisers' general acceptance of neo-Nazi participation in the March but moreover the fact that they share much in common politically; especially, of course, a dedication to white nationalism. Smaller M4WA or related events took place at Surfer's Paradise (300), several hundred braved the heat in Adelaide, a few dozen in Canberra, and small mobs also gathered in Hobart and Perth to have a whinge.

In general, the day was dominated by PHONy types, who were joined by proprietarians, binfluencers and a cast of characters drawn from an array of obscure minor and micro-parties on the right. Little rich kid Hugo 'auspill' Lennon was ostensibly the organiser and face of the M4WA in Melbourne/Naarm, the Scotch College graduate and heir to a multi-million dollar property-developer fortune appearing to have hired security to ensure he made it safely back to his Toorak mansion. Given that police were present in great number, their presence was probably unnecessary, although The Age reported some minor incidents: a couple were allegedly abused by some M4WA ANZACs, another patriot allegedly performed a Nazi salute on the steps of the state parliament, and there was a fight in a pub.

Finally, it's important to note that the white nationalist processions were dwarfed by Indigenous solidemos, which were more numerous, attracted many times more people in support, and were much livelier. Unsurprisingly, they were also much more diverse than the angwy white Boomerwaffen and racist young tradies who have a fetish for displaying their ultra-nationalist cringe in public.

"Sad!"
