Mere political advocacy is a fruitless tree unless it is thoroughly fertilised with cultural revival and idealism; If the Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 was miraculously re-instituted tomorrow, would that solve all our problems? No, the parliament would immediately act to repeal it, and even if they did not, what good is a homogenous country if its people have no moral standards, dignified norms of living nor a high culture? Is this too not a country ripe to be conquered?
The staying power and attractiveness of Nationalist political ideals that can translate between generations is vested in cultural values and norms that must be rooted in cultural mythology and idealism that is both relevant to and organic to the Australian people. Put simply, politics is downstream of culture, culture downstream of values, values downstream from religion and philosophy.
Importantly we advocate the notion of focusing on “what we are for”, rather than falling into the deep negative void of hyper-focusing on “what we are against”. The people must know who they are, what is good and where they come from in order to chart the road forward and accurately contemplate the risks and pitfalls of the current trajectory of things.
Our political and cultural inheritance from Europe, principally the British isles has been finely tuned over a thousand years to the peculiar needs of our ancestors. This fine inheritance has upon the Australian continent undergone further development for our unique conditions and circumstances. We say Federation era Australia achieved a standard of civilisation unparalleled in world history, a civilisation braced by our unique culture, Christian religion and the mixed constitution of our own parliamentary system.
The glory of Australian civilisation must be ventilated at every opportunity to inspire the young of Australia to return to the good fruits of the days of old. The way of life that espouses dignity, frugality, hard work and ethnic solidarity. It is for these reasons that you will see the Natives’ Association ventilating all sorts of Australiana for the month of January, and ventilating material that is not merely political in nature, but invokes in the minds of the young, a mythical nostalgia to the ways of life of our ancestors, our romance for this land in which we’ve been formed – all this to illicit a vivid dream of what the future can be.
