Family First is not anti-immigration, it is not anti-people of non-European ethnic backgrounds.

That must be said because commentary on migration, of which I’m about to launch into, attracts the usual cancel culture slur “racist”.

My family were migrants from England in 1865. They came for and found a better life.

That is why people come and that is a good thing.

Like the Sheltons, Family First’s Federal Executive member, South Australian Chair and lead Upper House candidate for the SA election, Deepa Mathew, is a migrant.

She and her husband came from India 20 years ago.

They raised their daughter and built successful businesses.

She is on track, God willing, to be Family First Mark II’s first member of Parliament next March.

But with a housing and cost of living crisis biting hard and most pronounced in Sydney and Melbourne, Australians from all ethnic backgrounds are wondering why one million migrants have been allowed to come in the first three years of the Albanese Government.

Where was the public debate about this massive jump when infrastructure and housing can’t keep up?

Migration is not the problem. The sheer scale of it is.

The implications for housing supply, infrastructure and social cohesion, not anyone’s skin colour, is what requires urgent discussion and action.

We’ve added close to the population of Adelaide in the past four years. About 1500 migrants arrive every day.

Along with the sheer scale of current immigration is the problem that a growing number do not assimilate.

It is not racist to say this is a problem because it is not a racial issue.

This brings me to Sunday’s March for Australia.

Those of us who love Australia, regardless of our racial background, are deeply worried about the future.

Our kids can’t afford homes, the cost of everything continues to go up and large cohorts of the population seem to hate who we are.

So, some anonymous people have organised a March for Australia this Sunday in capital cities and many regional centres.

The urge to send a message to politicians that our cities are at breaking point because of the sheer number of arrivals is overwhelming.

Sadly, the organisers of the march have not been transparent and there are credible suggestions neo-Nazi elements are involved.

On Sunday hundreds of thousands of Australians, who are not Nazis, will defy the attempts of the left to taint them as Nazis and march proudly for the nation they love.

The Albanese Government says the march is “unAustralian”. Walking to express a point of view is not “unAustralian”. Trying to stop people expressing an opinion is.

Ordinary people are fed up with the double standards. They are fed up with seeing anti-Australian radicals given a free ride but when someone is pro-Australia, they are demonised.

The Albanese Government and senior LNP leaders would do better to encourage people to express their patriotism but somewhere along the line patriotism became a dirty word.

So, by all means, if you want to march on Sunday, march.

For me, my political activism for Australia is daily. It’s why I joined Family First.

There is a place for a one-off demonstration. But joining a party like Family First puts you in a 24/7 demonstration as you fight to put people in Parliament like Deepa who will for a better future for your children and grandchildren.

Action: Stand up for Australia, stand up for your family's future. Join Family First today.
