The much-hyped “March for Australia” ended up being a bit of a flop. Let’s look at the numbers:
• Sydney — 8,000ish
• Melbourne — 5,000 - 10,000
• Brisbane — 2,000 -5,000
• Adelaide — 1,000
• Perth — 1,000
• Hobart — 300
• Canberra — 300
• Townsville — 400
• Echuca — 400
• Launceston — 6
That’s your big national turnout. For all that noise online, the reality on the ground was small and scattered.
Compare that to the 90,000 people who marched across the bridge for basic human rights — one single event, larger than every MFA crowd across five states and the ACT combined.
The message is clear: the so-called “silent majority” is neither silent nor a majority. Most Australians don’t buy into bitterness, resentment, and finger-pointing.
And let’s not forget the irony, waving flags and shouting about who belongs here, while ignoring the fact that your ancestors were migrants too.
It’s not patriotism, it’s hypocrisy.
Australia deserves better than angry marches built on hate.
