With Wattle Day coming up again this Friday, as we joyfully greet the Australian Spring season, it is worth considering the meaning of this holiday in its nationalist ecological dimension. I do not take nationalism and ecology as two separate things; rather, ecology is nationalism in its aspect of care…

Principles and Goals of an Australia First Position
The call for an “Australia First” position has a long history in Australian nationalism. It goes back to at least P.R. Stephensen and his Australia First Movement, which drew on nativist and radical nationalist ideas to build a motley crew of rationalists, suffragettes, and fascists supported by both Roman Catholics…
The Fundamental Importance of Labourism
Labour, work, radical politics. All important parts of Australian history and our contemporary situation. Our question is: what is our task? The answer: we seek to shape and build the future of the Australian nation. The worker, the representative of labour, is the one who must carry out this task.…
Nostalgia and the New in Nationalism
Look at Tom Robert’s The Big Picture and imagine being present at that wonderful time of Federation when Australia was maturing into a nation out of its infancy in the British Empire! When we look at these pictures of the past, I think it’s safe to say that we can,…
The Riskiest Thing You Can Do is Nothing

The Problem of Surrogate Activities
With the recent passing of Theodore John Kaczynski, the notorious Unabomber and critic of industrial society, it seems timely to raise the ubiquitous modern problem of surrogate activities. In fact, I think surrogate activities are one of the biggest problems for the true right in Australia, and for the right…
A Short Introduction to Political Platonism for Nativists
It was in New Zealand, right across the ditch, that Karl Popper wrote The Open Society and Its Enemies in the final years of WWII, a book that sought to prevent the ideological re-emergence of challenges to progressive liberalism right as Germany and Japan were collapsing before the Allied onslaught.…
On Ethnogenesis and Nativism
Nativism in the Australian context is not, and has never been a principle for the extinguishment of ties between Australian identity and our British ethnic heritage. Nativism hinges upon a simple question: Are we Australians of British heritage or are we British people who just happen to be in Australia?…
Kanakas: then and now
Between 1863-1908 approximately 60,000 Melanesians were brought to Australia as labourers in the pastoral and sugar cane industries. Many of these labourers were brought to Australia by way of ‘blackbirding,’ a term given to obtaining foreign labour by deception or kidnapping. By force or by choice, these labourers were known…
