Following on from the previous post about yesterday’s Put Australia First rally in Sydney, a bit more information on speakers:
Speakers including Family First Party’s Lyle Shelton canvassed topics including “mass immigration”, climate policy and freedom of speech to a crowd trying to find shade and a place to sit down on a thirty-degree day.
The day’s MC, One Nation candidate Stuart Bonds, told the crowd they were deliberately “being replaced in our own nations” and that “Net zero is modern slavery”.
“What will Australia become if we don’t stand up?” social media content creator Lauchlan Meyer asked the crowd. “A third world shithole,” someone yelled back.
The event wrapped up with a rendition of Advance Australia Fair.
