Good day everyone. Thanks for coming out on a Tuesday night after a long weekend. It's hard to get motivated, so I do appreciate your time. Look, I'm only going to speak very briefly and talk about what we did yesterday in the lead up to Australia Day, because in my opinion, Australia Day is one of our most important cultural events on the calendar for Australians, and I'm sure you all agree as well. We're all patriots. We all love our country, and we're sick of feeling guilty about it. Now, as you guys might be aware, we already ran two events in Brisbane last year, 31st of August, October 19th. These were rallies under the banner of March for Australia to end mass immigration. Now, what's driving that? You've got a generation of kids out there, generation Z, and I know it's really easy to fall into this mindset that they're lazy, they're entitled. It's hard to get 'em off their butts and get moving.
But the reality is this is a completely different generation of kids. Then they'll raise different to the way we were raised. A lot of different pressures, a lot of different technology around them, and a lot of them have checked out. They don't see a future here. All they see is a slave wage and a housing affordability crisis, which means they'll never get into the market. There's no stake, there's no buy-in for them. That's what led to this movement starting. Imagine being 20, 25 years old and not believing you have a future here, that all you are going to do is rent. You'll never be able to afford to have kids, and you're never going to have any really long lasting relationships. That's what this generation of kids is facing. So we did the two rallies.We did the two events under the banner of March for Australia, and then we split off after the October 19th event.
Now, I've only got 10 minutes, so I've got to be pretty quick here. We split off into Australia marches, and the reason we did that is because there was some pretty significant connections between March for Australia and it looked like the neo-Nazis, okay? And why are these young kids and fringe groups emerging? Because they're appealing to people who have no hope in the future. So we went, you know what? We can offer a better product. I don't like the Nazis, and the Nazis don't like me because I'm not going to fall into the trap of thinking that I'm going to be classified by skin colour. Now the fact is we've brought in a lot of people into this country and we can't put the toothpaste back into the tube. We've got to find a way to work with it, and that's what we're offering. But what we've also identified is that there's a whole bunch of cultural leaders out there, social media influencers and people that want to work with us. And I know some of the photos on here, you might not know who they are, but combined, the audience of these people here is millions of views every single week on social media, millions.
And in the lead up to this event, this Australia Day patriotic event that we're running the media was always going to do. Its best to try and find reasons to get you to not go. So what do we have? The Molotov Cocktail Conspiracy and a guy, a foreign guy that came here to study on a PhD. He's a PhD guy, was conspiring with a bunch of other people to throw Molotov cocktails at an Australia Day event. So we're trying to scare people off. The media doesn't want you to know about this. They don't want you to go.
And then today, after our event yesterday, we had up to 15,000 people coming and going in and out of our events at the Botanical Gardens. Think about that, on a 37 degree day, searched up the event today on Google, and what did I find man charged with publicly inciting hatred. Tens of thousands joint invasion day rally. I mean, this is the stuff that we're being fed constantly, man arrested over alleged anti sematic speech. We is the story that says 15,000 Australian Patriots were in the botanical gardens having a free sausage lunch yesterday. Was that there? No, because they hate you and they hate us.
About 10,000 people attended the Invasion Day rally in Sydney, joined by a further 8,000. So what? 18,000 people came out to tell you that your country's shit. Great, fantastic, calling for young people to mobilise, to fight Pauline. Let's fight Pauline. Great, and about 2000 protestors are estimated to have joined the March for Australia rally, also occurring in the Sydney CBD. So big, small, the Invasion Day crew is more important, bigger than the Patriots. That's what they're telling you.
And then what did they do? This was 400 metres from us yesterday. I had 15,000 Patriots in that park. That literally would've probably done some pretty savage stuff if that happened in front of us. Could we have imagined doing that to the aboriginal flag or the pride flag or the Palestinian flag or any of the other flags? They're shoving down our throats right now. I dunno, I wouldn't do that because I'm not that rude. I'm not that type of person. You guys aren't either, but this is perfectly fine. That's what they wanted. They got their headline, they got their story. "Australia, you're shit."
Senator Hansen spoke at our rally yesterday. Okay? The media wanted to turn yesterday, 15,000 people. The tens of thousands of dollars were spent and the hundreds of hours of effort we put into creating that event yesterday into a Pauline Hansen Fest, that's what they wanted to create. Now, I know there's people in this room that'll probably vote for Pauline. Oh, yep, we've got it back. I know there's people in this room that will probably want to vote for Pauline. I get that. Most of it I've checked out from mainstream politics. Team blue, team Red. Now we've got Team Orange to pick from. I implored the crowd yesterday to hold team orange's, feet to the fire. You want to vote for Team Orange? Great. Hold them. Make them accountable for what they're saying they're going to do. You don't get to be the convenient opposition protest. Vote for 30 years without, and suddenly you're on the verge of power without the members and you people going, we want things to change. Okay, that's going to be really important. So they wanted to turn it into a Pauline Love fest. We said, okay, we're going to table the politician. We'll let the politicians speak. We were accused of pandering to the politicians. But at the end of the day, this is a people's cultural movement. This is an Australian revival that we're leading here.
I know that might be hard to see, but that's a coffin being carried by four men that say with shirts on that says foreign lobbying. Why? Because you just had the anti-Semitic and hate speech bill pushed through that legislation was written, sitting on a shelf waiting, and you go by a foreign lobby that wasn't written by parliamentarians with days up their sleeve. You know that it wasn't there. It was sitting there ready to go, waiting for the right event to happen. And that right event was probably going to benefit. Not us. Not us. So when Pauline Hansen was on the stage, we carried the coffin in and we got 10,000 people chanting. No foreign lobbying. We're done. We're finished with that. We're done with foreign interest in Australia. This cultural movement will be led by Australian Patriots, young and old, who want a better future for their country that doesn't involve some other country's interests. We're done with that. It's finished.
And of course, yesterday we played some great Aussie tunes, great Aussie tunes. Senator Hanson's favourite song is a Oo guru song. What's my scene? Great song. The crowd was dancing, the music was pumping. Oo gurus came out today, and I know plenty of people might not know who they are. Great Aussie rock band from the eighties and nineties, if you remember it. We were disgusted to hear that one of our songs were played by a bunch of wannabe fascists yesterday. Fascists Now the hood gurus got rich from my generation. They got rich. They got rich. They shaped our culture. They shaped our thoughts about music and how we feel about our country. And then they said, you're all fascists. We played their music loudly and we're going to play it again because that song belongs to us. Now you don't get to get rich off us and then tell us that we don't deserve it.
Done. We're done with that. We're taking our country back next month. When I come back, I'm going to tell you a lot about the initiatives that we're pushing through with to create a movement to go to Canberra. This year we are sending lobbyists to represent us to Canberra. That will be fully funded. That's my breakdown of what happened yesterday. It was a great day for the people that were there wearing the hats. We gave out a lot of hats. We gave out a lot of hope and a lot of momentum. If you get the chance to come to one of our events, I encourage you to do so. It will refill your cup. You will feel energised. You will feel good to be Australian, and you will believe in the future. Thank you.
