White Australia is in Crisis (1/2)
Demographic change and dogmatic anti-White rhetoric are sinking the Australian nation
White Australians, or simply Australians, have suffered immensely in the past several decades as their nation, like every other White nation, has been subsumed into the neoliberal order and the political institutions and culture which rules the modern West.
Neoliberalism began to creep in as the post-war consensus broke down across the West, left wing parties such as Australian Labour gave up the fight for Australian workers, and the Harold Holt government (a ‘right-wing’ government) began dismantling the White Australia Policy which had for more than 70 years ensured that Australia retained its distinct demographic and cultural composition.
In 1951 just 10.5% of the Australian population was born abroad according to Australian Bureau of Statistics. This number roughly doubled to 20% by the year 1970, by which time the White Australia policy had largely been done away with.
The immigrants who arrived in the intervening 19 years between 1951 and 1970 were, however, overwhelmingly White and from Eastern and Western Europe. The White Australia policy had retained the racial character of Australia, even if the ethnic character become more mixed.
The Australian nation has since experienced a continued decline in its perportion of the overall population of Australia, and the White population as a whole is now in precipitous retreat against a near-constant inflow of non-White immigrants.
As of 2021 the Australian population has changed massively since the end of this policy. Mass non-White migration to Australia has brought millions of Indians, Chinese, South Asian and other non-White immigrants to the country. The total foreign born population now stands at a staggering 29%.
Nearly 500,000 Indians have entered Australia since just 2011. More than 200,000 Chinese and 120,000 Filipinos have arrived in that same timeframe.
These mass movements of people have put incredible strain on the Australian nation. Australia is experiencing a massive housing shortage and housing cost crisis. Prices jumped 22% in 2021-2022 and 90% of would be first-time home buyers are unable to afford a property.
Likewise, real wages in Australia have not grown in any significant form since the mid-1970s and in much of the period between then and 2022 Australian wages have suffered years of marked decline or near-zero growth.
Mass migration is pricing White Australians out of their homes and reducing their quality of life in increasingly measurable ways. It is no wonder that some 40% of Australians between ages 19 and 29 are thinking about making a move abroad, with roughly 50% of respondents mentioning quality of life as their primary driver for looking abroad. The cost of living was the part of the motivating factor for 45% of people and the cost of housing a factor for a further 36%.
Australians are becoming increasingly weary of the multicultural experiment which is costing them their nation. Data from the Lowy Institute shows that some 71% of Australians believe their cities are too crowded, 47% believe immigrants are a burden (up from 40% in 2016), and the proportion of Australians who believe that immigrants “make Australia stronger” has collapsed 10 points from 2016 to 2017.
Additional data from the The Australian Population Research Institute (TAPRI), gathered in 2022, shows that some 70% of Australians want lower levels of immigration and 61% of Australians believe that Australia “has enough diversity” and needs to focus on encouraging Australian identity.
Australians can have their country back. A mere 1.8 million of the 7.5 million strong immigrant population in Australia has Australian citizenship, and many of their children are also without Australian nationality.
The rate of naturalization is increasing rapidly, however, and Australians are entering a limited window in which reversing this process would and will be relatively simple.
Still, it is not currently out of the realm of possiblity that a properly motivated Australian state could begin tightening the labour market, relieving the housing crisis and correcting the demographic path of the nation simply by cancelling visas and booking plane tickets for immigrants.
But in order for that to happen Australians must repoliticise, organise politically, and assert their identity and reclaim their nation from a multi-front assault against them.
