Pemulwuy: The Movie

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 10:37 UTC

In Australia, there is a general ignorance about Aboriginal resistance against colonial invasion. This ignorance is a huge contributing factor to the cultural disrespect which results in the shameful inequality of today's Australian population.

Pemulwuy’s (c.1750–1802) story is an inspirational narrative which permeates the malaise of Australia’s national identity/s. This heroic saga has been aptly depicted by such works as Eric Willmot’s 1987 novel Pemulwuy: The Rainbow Warrior.

STOP foreign affairs department removing the word "mateship" from a Kokoda memorial.

Mon, 20 Mar 2017 02:59 UTC

The Kokoda Trail is a sacred military site and there is no place for Political Correctness.
One of the most brutal conflicts in Australian war history, the Kokoda Campaign was a powerful victory that directly saved Australia from the threat of Japanese occupation.

Mateship is often associated with Australia's diggers in World War I.
It is a term that conjures images of young men providing unconditional support for one another amid the toughest of conditions.

The memorial is comprised of four black marble obelisks engraved with the words “courage, endurance, mateship, sacrifice”.

I can tell you from experience...that that Digger Mentality stills flows within the 3 services of the ADF now, and to have some people who have never served a day in their life's think that changing Mateship to Friendship means the same thing then they are delusional.

Tommy Robinson spectacularly avoided going back to jail on the 23rd of October, in what can only be described as a full and embarrassing backflip by the UK establishment. Now we want Tommy and his comedian mate, Gavin McInnes, to tour Down Under.

But right on cue, the perpetually outraged Left are trying everything to ensure this doesn't happen. In their usual fashion, left-wing groups are spreading lies and misinformation about these two men - saying that Gavin has incited violence and Tommy is a racist.

But the leftist fear-mongering is just a tactic to shut down voices with whom they disagree. In response to these lies, a petition has been launched, asking that Peter Dutton (sic) ban Gavin McInnes from entering Australia. It has already reached over 30,000 signatures!

Tommy has been persecuted for being an outspoken critic of Islam and it's time we take a stand for free speech in Australia.

The tour is planned for early December. Tickets* and more info can be found on the website above.

**if a visa is not granted, organisers will refund tickets.

Please SIGN & SHARE this petition to ensure Tommy and Gavin are let in.
