Against The March For White Australia : August 31, 2025

[Update (August 25, 2025) : A number of counter-rallies to oppose the neo-Nazi led “Marches for Australia” on Sunday August 31st have been organised and include:

BRISBANE: 11AM @ King George Square.
CANBERRA: 12PM @ Australian War Memorial.
MELBOURNE: 11AM @ State Library.
PERTH: 11:30AM @ Stirling Gardens.
SYDNEY: 1PM @ Hyde Park North.

NB. There may be other actions; venues are subject to change.]

As you’re probably already aware, the corpse of ‘Reclaim Australia’ has resurrected itself as ‘March Australia’ and — under the ideological stewardship of New Zealand-born Tom Sewell’s nazi gang the National Socialist Network (NSN) — intends to do a zombie shuffle through the cities and towns of STRAYA on Sunday, August 31. And, as was the case with Reclaim, these partisans of ‘The Great Replacement’ thesis (see : Christchurch) are once again responding to the call to oppose mass non-White immigration to Australia, for “We Must Secure The Existence Of Our People And A Future For White Children”.

Or something like that.

Xenophobia is a coat of many colours, and Australia has a long, even notorious, history of it. Naturally, the neo-Nazis who’ve positioned themselves as the political vanguard of the March lament the passing of the White Australia policy, and want to restore it as part of their vision for ‘Aryan’ supremacy. To that end, earlier this year, the NSN announced it was going to form a political party on precisely that basis.

I remain slightly skeptical that 1,500 neo-Nazis are happy to d0x themselves to authorities, but the formation of such a party — the nazis believe — will provide the NSN with added legal protections in their various interactions with the forces of Law & Order. In any case, as noted above, the active involvement of neo-Nazis in the vanguard of the March has caused (some) minor disquiet among (some of) the freedumb-seeking c00kers who form a considerable proportion of the social base/pool of potential recruits from which the nazis draw. Figures from within this wider milieu — including Matt Trihey and Bec Walker, but also Hugo Lennon and Harrison McLean — play useful roles for the NSN, both in terms of supplying ideological support for/engendering interest in joining groups like the NSN and obscuring/downplaying the neo-Nazi politics at the heart of the proposed marches.

In the effort to launder nazi party-building, the Marchers are ably assisted by various mainstream, right-wing reactionaries who like to pander to xenophobic and racist sentiment in typically more ‘nuanced’ language.

In addition, the massive solidemo for Palestine in Sydney, which embarked on a ‘March for Humanity’ a few weeks ago, has many hopping mAd, from NSW Premier Chis Minns to the worst, most obscure genocide apologist on X, the everything app. Will the Lions of Zion be holding hands with members of the NSN or NWA on August 31 because they both despise Teh LeFt? It seems unlikely, but it’s worth keeping in mind that the Australian Jewish Association once attempted to tour Lauren ‘The Great Replacement’ Southern and her neo-Nazi security detail — then known as the Lads Society, now known as the NSN — through Bondi and Caulfield in 2018. Further, that the NSN has received and continues to receive tens of thousands of dollars via Christian nationalist fundraiser Give Send Go, an organisation that sponsored Warren Mundine’s Conservative Political Action Conference Australia in 2023.

Finally, along with writing ‘March for Australia’ is not common-sense patriotism — it’s a Nazi-led mobilisation (Independent Australia, August 22, 2025), the always-outrageous Tom Tanuki has recently published a video analysing the NSN as a child-grooming cult:

Tell ‘Em To Get Stuffed

In Melbourne/Naarm, the Marchers have declared their intention to block and to occupy the intersection of Flinders and Swanston Streets (outside Flinders Street Station) at midday. Being a Sunday, there will also be the regular Palestine solidemo occurring at the State Library (a few blocks from the station). In response to the nazi mobilisation, organisers have announced that the rally, normally scheduled for midday, will instead commence at 11am on August 31.

For its part, VTHC has been quite rude about Nazis and their anti-working class politics:

Finally, along with the neo-Nazis and their gormless followers, there may be some other compañerxs to be found in the city that day, so my general advice is to keep your wits about you if you happen to find yourself in the vicinity of a March for White Australia on August 31, whether in Naarm or elsewhere.
