"Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence." — Christopher Hitchens
Hitchens urges intellectual defiance. Silence enables injustice. Argument is not aggression—it’s moral engagement. Speak now, challenge boldly, and leave quiet for the grave.

Only the most naive still believe that America will come through on its side of the AUKUS deal. Luckily there is another way.

AUKUS is literally one of the biggest con jobs the Australian taxpayers have ever been confronted with

“It was the biggest march we’ve ever seen!”... Said a bloke with sunglasses on his neck and a Telegram group called Patriot Sauce Australia.

Some cookers are claiming yesterday’s 'March for Australia' drew 20,000 to 50,000 in Melbourne. One even reckons 100,000 showed up... which is cute, because if cookers could count, they wouldn’t be at these rallies to begin with.

So I did a little digging.

• First image:
An actual aerial photo of the Melbourne protest outside Flinders Street Station.

• Second image:
I generously mapped out the crowd area. It’s roughly 4,327 square metres.

• Now let’s talk density.
According to real crowd modelling,
“crowded” is about 2 people per sqm... that’s shoulder-to-shoulder, arms tucked, no room for flag twirling or v**e clouds.

The protest?
Not packed, but not sparse either.
So let’s be fair and use that “crowded” density.

That gives us: 8,654 people. Max.

Unless people were standing on each other’s shoulders like circus acrobats (which… would’ve been amazing),
that’s it. That’s the limit.

So no, it wasn’t 20k.
It wasn’t 50k.
And unless several busloads of imaginary friends showed up... it definitely wasn’t 100,000.

Just another day of loud voices in a small room.

Welcome to “The Australia Dialogue”- page

“The Australia Dialogue” is a forum initiated by a group of concerned citizens for the exchange of information and ideas that affect life in Australia and the world, now and in the future. This page aims to discuss political, economic and social developments and facts that hinder or improve sustainable living and strengthen communities on a local, national and global level.

We strongly believe that only informed, critically thinking and acting citizens of all ethnicities, ages, social and educational backgrounds and sexual orientation can work towards solving the problems we as a country and global community are facing - first and foremost the threat of a global heating apocalypse.

Our goal is a socially inclusive, environmentally and economically sustainable and fair, fundamentally democratic Australia that respects the unique cultures and environment that bind us all together.
