Matua Kahurangi: Today patriots March for Australia

Today, Australians across the country will take to the streets in what is being called the March for Australia. The mainstream media are already rushing to paint it as “racist” or “bigoted,” but nothing could be further from the truth. At its core, this movement is about ordinary Australians standing up against mass immigration, the political cowardice enabling it, and the erosion of national identity.

For weeks, we’ve seen reports come out of Australia showing thousands march in the streets waving foreign flags, calling for causes that have little to do with Australia itself. Yet when Aussies themselves want to march for the protection of their country, the media immediately begins its smear campaign.

This isn’t just about Australia. From Britain to the United States, from Europe to here in New Zealand, mass immigration is being imposed on Western nations without the consent of their people. Every country that dares to question it is told the same tired line - you’re racist, you’re far-right, you’re a bigot!

There is nothing racist about wanting a sustainable future for your own people. There is nothing hateful about demanding that your government put the interests of its citizens first, before bringing in hundreds of thousands of migrants who will rely on the public purse. Ordinary Australians, just like ordinary Kiwis, are tired of being ignored while elites make decisions that will change their countries forever.

Organisers of the March for Australia have been explicit: this is a peaceful demonstration. Non-violent. Non-aggressive. Just everyday Australians exercising their democratic right to say enough is enough. The media can try to link it to fringe elements or smear it with lazy labels, but the truth is simple: this is the voice of the people.

And despite the attempts by far-left activists and sympathetic media outlets to discredit the movement, support is surging. People know what’s at stake. Rising housing costs, wage suppression, infrastructure under strain, and cultural tensions are all linked to the same problem - uncontrolled mass immigration.

Australia and New Zealand must wake up

The same forces are at play here in New Zealand. Both Labour and National have opened the floodgates to migration while ignoring the pressures it places on our already struggling economy, housing market, and social cohesion. The challenges we face are not unique, we are seeing the same story unfold across the West.

Australia’s march is a warning bell. If Australians can rise up peacefully to demand their politicians start listening, then New Zealanders can and should do the same. This is not about hate. It is about survival, sovereignty, and securing a future where our nations can remain free, prosperous, and distinctly ours.

Today’s March for Australia is more than just another protest. It is a turning point. It shows that Australians will not sit by silently while their future is dictated by politicians too weak to act and too scared of being called names.

It’s time to reclaim our right to be heard. Patriotism is not racism. Wanting to protect your borders is not extremism. Demanding that governments serve their people first is not hate, it is common sense.

Australia is leading the way this weekend. New Zealand should pay close attention.
