Australia Day is Not Enough

Political activist Ben Shand has sparked a viral trend centred around recognising the month of January as 'Australia Month', here's why it's important.

It is an often repeated adage that ‘the best defence is a good offence’, and the concept of Australia Month is a great offence.

Australia has been betrayed by almost every member of our current ruling class. The cost of living in this country is flying through the roof along with inflation, interest rates, congestion and house prices - all fuelled by decades of record high immigration intake and a bloated bureaucracy. This is all without mentioning the single most consequential impact of these factors, that being the demographic replacement of White Australians which will see us shrink to a minority of our own country’s population within our lifetime.

None of these problems can be truly rectified until Australians develop an iron will to rectify them. The only problem? Australian education and mainstream media has brainwashed generations of Australians, and most detrimentally White Anglo-Celtic Australians, into believing that Australia’s history is a dark one, only remediable by costly government programs and social engineering. This barrage on our country is given its most potent expression by the effort to erase Australia Day from the 26th of January and replace it with the vision of those who march in the mass ‘Invasion Day’ protests - an Australia paralysed with guilt for its past.

The good news? This brainwashing is yet to fully effect over 60% of Australians, who when asked in a yes or no question whether they believe in the Aboriginal victimhood/White guilt telling of Australian history raised one finger and wrote two letters.

Whatever your opinions of the man, former Prime Minister Tony Abbott said it best in his article for the Australian following the No victory, in reference to flying the Aboriginal flag alongside the Australian flag and acknowledgment of country ceremonies he commented that

"If the people's vote is to be respected, it should mean abandoning, or at least scaling back, recent concessions to separatism"

Abbot is absolutely correct, the No victory is our mandate to reclaim Australia, an absolutely essential task. The current roadblock in between our present situation and immigration restriction, moral governance and an Australian renaissance is the current aura of shame that hangs over the majority of Australians’ conception of their past and present. This shame emanates from, like mentioned above, a carefully fabricated narrative that Australia’s founders were immoral men who built the country upon a foundation of abusing racial minorities for the fun of it, joined with a media concocted image of Australian patriotism being low class, both claims that eminent historians such as Professor Keith Windschuttle along with several participating organisations in the Australia Month campaign such as the British Australian Community and Australian Natives Association continue doing good work to disprove.

So what has all this got to do with the idea of dedicating January to celebrating Australia? Well, like I quoted at the very beginning of this article - the best defence is a good offence. While the No campaign successfully defended Australia against the Voice, it is the Australia month campaign taking the No victory to its logical conclusion and constructing a positive vision for Australian patriots & nationalists to pursue. Not only is Australia not an evil nation, it is a great nation, built by great men that deserves advancement - this is the true idea behind Australia Month. January should dedicated to celebrating Australia’s founders, pioneers, explorers, colonists, inventors, sportsmen, cultural achievements and history.

To join in on the campaign the most important thing you can do is sign the offical petition which has already received over 200 signatures in only a few days. Personally, I generally place very little faith in petitions, but in this case I urge everyone to sign, a large number of signatures will act as a demonstration of public support when Dusty, myself and others ask members of various parties for their backing. Another great way to promote the campaign is to attach #AustraliaMonth to your social media posts throughout January. Already the hashtag has gone trending momentarily and received support from a wide variety of Australians, perhaps most notably One Nation Senator Malcom Roberts.

By officially recognising January as a month to boldly assert our pride in our history, culture and people we can sweep away the false telling of our past cynically crafted by the left and and in doing so rebuild an unabashed consciousness of Australian identity, because it is only by restoring this Australian identity that we can restore Australia to her former glory, reverse our demographic replacement and raise her to new heights in the future.

So, to all National Observer readers, from January 1st Federation Day to January 26th, we hope you have a happy Australia Month!
