by ROGER CROOK – IN 1960 when the then British PM Harold Macmillan spoke to the South African parliament about the “winds of change” blowing through that continent, he was hammering one of the final nails into the coffin of the British Empire.
He was telling us all that our world was about to change.
- All over Britain and Europe it is the young who are becoming restless.
- Australians have been endlessly told that “black is good, and white is bad”.
- There has been a subtle change in the ethnic mix of the Australian population as a result.
The same winds of change are now starting to sweep through Europe, north and south America and so far, just as a zephyr of a breeze in Australia.
What started as a zephyr in Britain and Europe has become the mistral; a force of nature, a cold wind of change which may well overwhelm governments, even nations, and eventually including Australia.
DISSOLVE
The Labour government in Britain is in crisis; the French have just voted out their fifth prime minister in two years and there are calls for President Macron to dissolve parliament and resign.
In Britain, the Reform Party led by the charismatic Nigel Farage is sweeping all before it; 101 successive opinion polls have put them in front of all other political Parties.
If there was a general election tomorrow, Reform would have a massive majority and govern Britain.
Farage was the man who led Britain out of the EU with the famous Brexit campaign. Then as now with his Reform Party, he is giving voice to the majority of voters who are shouting they want their country back.
In Australia we have watched Britain, France, Sweden and just recently in Switzerland as the people have realised that uncontrolled migration, legal and illegal, has been a massive mistake.
The indigenous people of Europe have watched as their great history and traditions have been usurped and challenged by immigrants from vastly different cultures, and of another faith, Islam.
Many have been confused and upset as all over Europe medieval lanes, markets squares and cloisters steeped in the history of the nation are slowly being turned into Middle Eastern bazars.
Five times every day the sounds of those faithful to Allah, being called to prayer, not by the bells of the Parish Church, but by the Muezzin through loud speakers placed high on the spire of a Mosque.
Five times a day those who follow Judeo-Christian values are reminded that there is change afoot in their land an some claim it is inexorable.
The people of Britain and Europe have become weary of the invasion of Islam, its worshippers and many of the ways and customs they brought with them from the war torn Middle East.
The elected governments in both France, Germany, Britain and generally across western Europe have been slow to accept the obvious changes that migration has been inflicting of their people and their way of life.
Now the people are speaking through Nigel Farage in Britain and through Marie Le Pen in France.
CHRISTIAN
In Germany there is now, for the first time, a Right of centre government led by Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Party, in coalition with the Bavarian Christian Union and the Social Democratic Party.
If they fail, waiting in the wings is the Alternative fÜr Deutschland (AfD), which has been named as extremists by the country’s federal office for the protection of the constitution.
At the last federal election in February the Right-wing AfD came second winning 152 seats with nearly 21 per cent of the vote; making it the biggest political Party in Germany.
The German intelligence agency Verfassungsschutz has said that the AfD does not consider citizens of a “migration background from predominantly Muslim countries” as equal members of the German people.
That means the AfD don’t like the followers of Islam.
The polls show that it is the young voters who voted for the AfD and who want Germany to throw off the shackles and remnants of WWII and become more assertive at home and abroad.
All over Britain and Europe it is the young who are becoming restless.
Angela Merkel, born and raised in communist East Germany, is quite rightly being blamed for starting the massive migration from the Middle East and causing what is now being called “the rot of Europe”.
In two years between 2015 and 2017 Germany took in 1.4m Muslim migrants. Italy, France and Sweden accepted a quarter of a million each, all from Islamist countries.
Over the past decade or so there has been a subtle change in the ethnic mix of the Australian population.
Like the British before us, we have ignored the warnings of Enoch Powell as we have cruised along with this notion of multiculturalism.
Now we must ask “has multiculturalism failed?”
Over the years if we have had any reservations, we kept them to ourselves, concerned that we would be called racially prejudiced, or by the elite, racist.
The post Nationals are from the socialist Left and academe, and they are supporters of nations without borders.
They believe in the free movement of people. The world saw the damage they caused in the United States when they opened the borders.
Post Nationals attach little importance to national identity; they have become a dominant force not just in the parliaments of Australia but in influencing conversation and teaching in our schools, colleges, and universities.
Australia without warning found itself in a national conversation that insisted “black was good, and white was bad”.
That the Judeo-Christian way of life could be insulted, abused and criticised without comment from many politicians and leaders; yet if a word was raised against Islam and the Muslims there were accusation of religious intolerance or Islamophobia.
HORDES
Then, on October 7, 2023, the hordes of Islam under the command of Hamas left Gaza and raided, invaded, Israel.
They butchered and committed unspeakable atrocities while killing 1195 Israeli men, women and children. They took hostage about another 250.
It was the biggest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust eight decades ago.
To the horror of most Australians on the following day, October 8, a Muslim, Sheik Ibrahim Daoud stood in a street in Lake Lakemba in western Sydney and celebrated the killings.
To a crowd of cheering supporters he shouted: “I’m smiling and I’m happy. I’m elated. It’s a day of courage. It’s a day of resistance, it’s a day of pride, it’s a day of victory. This is the day we’ve been waiting for.”
Every syllable uttered by Daoud was met with cheers from his mob of supporters shouting “Allahu Akbar”, “God is most great”.
As if by magic our television screens were filled with people dressed in their traditional robes, many wearing the Palestinian Keffiyeh and waving the flag of Palestine and Hamas and demanding genocide ‘from the river to the sea Palestine shall be free.’
It was as if those followers of Islam were already prepared for that day of slaughter.
Were the hundreds of flags and the thousands of Keffiyehs just sitting in a warehouse “just in case” they might be needed at some time?
If those people who waved the flags of Palestine and Hamas and wore the Keffiyeh were prepared, it raises some disturbing thoughts about the security of our society from those with radical beliefs.
From October 7, Mullahs or Imams in Australia called for the world to be rid of all Jews. Their demands were vile and to admit they were uttered in Australia, makes this author ashamed.
Had I stood in the pulpit of my local Christian church and called upon my Christian God to strike all Muslims down and called them unclean and pigs; I cannot believe I would have been treated in the same way as those Imams.
The police did nothing when the hordes of Islam invaded the steps of the Sydney Opera House and defiled that place with their antisemitism.
VOICES
The police denied that the voices of the children of Islam invoked in their chants the gassing of Jews, even though many who were there claimed it to be true.
The marches that followed supporting the murderers of Hamas and in support of a Palestine State also became the vehicle for those in the Australian community who feel subjugated and disenfranchised.
So, rent-a-crowd marched and chanted death to Israel. Sadly, some of them carried the emblem, I will not call it a flag, the emblem of the Aboriginal people.
In the days that followed the massacre our Prime Minister for the first time since taking office, stood out among the leaders of the world; not for what he did, but for what he refused to do.
Anthony Albanese is still the only leader of almost all of the free world who has not visited Israel and delivered the condolences of the people of Australia to the people of Israel.
That one inaction showed us that Albanese holds his long-standing political and personal antipathy towards Israel and its people, above his absolute duty to represent all Australians.
At the United Nations in September, he will shame us all again as he expresses to the world his personal views and prejudices in support of an impossible two State solution.
Our Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong waited until January 2024 before she deigned to set foot in Israel. Once there, she refused to visit the site of the massacre and pay her respects on behalf of all Australians.
Instead she went on a Cook’s Tour of the region and played at being a leader while showing her political prejudice to Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
SOCIALISTS
Our leaders do not represent the majority of Australians. They are arrogant and doctrinaire socialists and are sufficiently conceited to claim they represent all of Australia with just 30 per cent of the vote.
Do they not realise that the bond with Israel and the Jews runs deep in the Labor Party? It goes back to HV “Doc” Evatt in 1947, when he played an important part in the United Nations supporting the establishment of the State of Israel.
This month Mr Albanese, giving voice to his personal bigotry, is going to change and irrevocably damage the warm and friendly relationship Australia has had with Israel since the days of Doc Evatt more than fifty years ago.
It is now patently obvious that multiculturalism in Australia has failed and failed comprehensively.
Even its most ardent supporters must now admit that the establishment of racial and religious enclaves in Australia are changing the face of the nation.
Closed societies of migrants have shown they have no intention of integrating and becoming part of Australia’s rich social tapestry, established, fostered and cultivated over the past two hundred years.
Australians are becoming concerned that their way of life, their adherence to the Judeo-Christian ethos, established in Australia by the original white settlers from the British Isles and what they covet above all for themselves, their family and their country, is being challenged.
The whisper on the wind of change in Britain has become a shout that is being heard in Australia; the British want their country back; in Australia we must refuse to have ours taken away.PC
Another essential reason to modify to solar power may be the cost benefits it gives. Solar panel systems are designed for generating electricity for businesses, reducing or eliminating the necessity for traditional types of energy. This might end up in significant savings on energy bills, especially in areas with a high energy costs. Furthermore, there are many government incentives and tax credits open to companies that adopt solar energy, rendering it a lot more cost-effective and affordable.
The technology behind solar technology is simple and easy, yet highly effective. Solar power panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. This electricity may then be stored in batteries or fed straight into the electrical grid, depending on the specific system design. So that you can maximize some great benefits of solar technology, it is critical to design a custom system this is certainly tailored to your particular energy needs and requirements. This may make certain you have the proper components set up, like the appropriate quantity of solar power panels as well as the right style of batteries, to maximise your time efficiency and cost savings.

What is this rubbish doing here. I’ll answer it anyway because wind and solar, w&s, are absolute rubbish.
The measures of any power source are Installed Capacity, IC, and Capacity Factor, CF. These are relatively simple concepts and unequivocally show why ruinables are so useless and as wrong as their justification, global boiling.
IC is the amount of energy a power source would produce if it were working at its maximum capacity. Wind turbines for instance are about 5 MW. The CF is what the power source actually produces expressed as a % of the IC and as averaged over a year. The average CF of w&s is 30%.
That is bad enough but here is the kicker: w&s are intermittent and never constant. So, that 30% may occur in a few windy months and for an equal period a wind drought may see the turbines produce nothing for weeks on end. Dr Miskelly has a good paper on this:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1260/0958-305X.23.8.1233
So, for 70% of the year w&s produce NO POWER at all. But in addition you never know when they will or will not produce power. Hence the emphasis on storage. But here’s the rub with that: batteries don’t produce power they store it, inefficiently, losing up to 30% in the storage and release conversion process. If the power source is w&s which only produce for 30% of the time unpredictably how are you going to have excess to store.
Keeping it simple I’ll look at one final point about w&s; that is energy density which simply means how much space they need. By comparison Australia’s biggest coal fired plant Eraring which has an IC and CF or 3000 MW occupies 2700 acres or 11 sq kilometers.
The average 5 MW wind turbine requires for wind spacing 250 acres. To match Eraring would require 600 wind turbines. 250 X 600 = 150,000 acres or 607 square kilometers.
But since the wind turbines will only have a CF of 30% compared to Eraring’s CF of 100% we will need another 70% of wind turbines which will give us 2000 turbines over a land area of 500,000 acres or 2023 square kilometers.
A couple of minor points. A 5 MW wind turbine costs about $10 million so 2000 turbines will cost about $20 billion. That is without the special grid and equipment necessary to convert the DC electricity produced by turbines into AC current which a grid requires. That would be at least another $20 billion. So you would spend $40 billion to replace Eraring for an intermittent power source which would still need backup.
How much would a new generation coal plant or nuclear plant to replace Eraring cost. Bill Gates is building a new Natrium reactor in Wyoming for $4 billion which can be scaled up, is not water cooled and is compatible with the existing grid.

It would be difficult to identify any country that has not been subjected to immigration.
Australia was, as we are told, uninhabited until ‘people’ arrived. More recent research seems to indicate they came via then joined landmass known as South East Asia. We have moved on as a populated island. As our society has evolved, circumstances have as well. As it has done so Europeans have populated the site and done well, on most counts.
Right now we have a failing state. Occupants have not planned for its population scale, not once in its recent history. Indeed, in the last 250 years it has grown without an apparent purpose except to grow, whatever that may mean to its occupants. Certainly not its elected representatives in local, state, and federal government. Lots of bits and pieces intent, programs etc. Suddenly 27 million people are on the island. Its socioeconomic status is under stress, and its defence is tokenistic but still the ‘populate or perish’ mantra is with us.
Without a major inquiry to identify a sustainable level of population and implementation of continuous monitoring the future of Australia is at risk of continuous decline. Factors affected by population and its disposition include energy, health, education and training, infrastructure, defence, water, housing, trade, employment, transport, taxation, net reproduction, natural resources, regions, social security, technology/AI, and immigration/NOM. etc.
It’s a mistake, imo, to focus on immigration without benchmarking ‘sustainability.’ An initial step is to limit immigration/NOM while a full-scale assessment is done.
Some will be concerned about central planning, etc.; that is a discussion to be undertaken. I see the ‘sustainable’ level of population as a measured interaction of the factors, and probably others, mentioned. With implementation and continuous publicly available monitoring at state, local, and federal levels, with budgets accommodating funding and private sector participation.
The Productivity Commission is probably capable of accepting and distilling submissions, if we had faith in its independence.
As an Australian living in Britain I can concur with all that Mr Crook writes in this article. I live in ‘Middle England’ in a small town based around an eleventh century Norman castle. Daily life continues pretty much as it has for years but some 25 miles away the city of Birmingham is now entirely changed into a frightful polyglot mess of multicultural mayhem along with Labour Party civic ineptitude. Britain is being destroyed through immigration at unsustainable levels. The Reform Party (I am a member) which reflects a realistic attitude to immigration, attracts voters who realise that to continue on the current political path is a path to ultimate ruin and a wiping out of all the thousand plus years of history and achievement England, and later the UK, has achieved. Weak government by Conservatives for 14 years and now Labour, supported by the bizarre Greens and Liberal Democrats, leaves us with only one hope: Farage and Reform.
I was brought up in 50s/60s Australia and am hugely grateful for it but for me to return now would be a fire to frying pan move. There is some hope at this end but little hope with the pathetic Liberals and their Labour friends in Australia. One Nation offers an alternative and that is where conservatives should move if they are serious in saving the country from disaster. No point in staying with the Liberal Party as it stands.
Hugh, we have experienced unprecedented immigration to add to the alleged student intakes . No question. There is a strong concern it must stop. I think Labor may be spooked right now and its going nowhere with the economy. The limitation of energy cost, regulation, non government investment and union participation are obstacles to recovering productivity. The RBA has made its concern clear. If the impact really bites the Coalition has a real shot.
I am not nearly convinced One Nation has the leadership or policy formation capacity needed. ON is essentially populist with Hanson in charge. We need a lot more to have any chance of rolling Labor, with 7 nominal Liberal seats already in teal hands. Can the Coalition actually claw back enough seats to govern? Will it attract ON preferences? Can it and other similarly inclined parties win a Senate majority? I can see where it may achieve a Reps majority but that must be without teals so it needs 76 seats, a gain of 33 from Labor. Is the Coalition able to campaign to effect such a gain? Are the teals vulnerable? My preference is no teal deals. There is some speculation ON preferences ought not be assumed by the Coalition. It must effectively communicate energy, taxation, housing policies that offer clear, inter-generation opportunities. Labor will have the subsidies roster in full swing with its customary scare campaigning. Whether the Liberals can bury factional disruption remains questionable. Whether it has the campaign smarts is also questionable, after the May 2025 shambles.
Farage seems to have a better electoral grip but the UK does use first past the post, so that too remains an obstacle for both Reform and the Conservatives. Good luck
Britain is no longer Britain. Europe is no longer Europe, and Albasleezy is rapidly sending Australia the same way, and the ABC is doing its best to help him. Albasleezy wants to allow into Australia’s ADF (and the National Rugby League), people from Papua New Guinea, and they will be eligible for Australian citizenship in return. The same deal applies to other Pacific Islanders, many of whom already work in Australia. Australia has become a Parasite Paradise. All of these invaded nations are rapidly transforming from white nations to black nations, and whites are being treated like second class citizens by their own governments – what a betrayal ! It also seems that the imports are disproportionately represented in serious crimes (which are rapidly esclating in Australia). The left is making it difficult for the right to resist such moves, and the more undesirable imports allowed into those countries, the harder it will be to reverse the problem. The root cause of this problem is poor economic management by the people pretending to lead those nations. They rely on population growth by immigration, and don’t care who is let in. The fact is that many of the imports are low socio-economic persons, who are imported to fill unattractive , low paid jobs, but will immediately, and in the long term, be burdens on the nations they move to. The invaded countries will decline to third world countries, just like the nations from which the imports came. Why are the imports allowed in? (1) because they will do low paid unattractive jobs. (2) because welfare is too easy to come by, by the locals who should be filling those jobs . (3) The left has introduced anti discrimination laws to curb locals from objecting to the importation of people who cannot or will not be able to integrate, and the ABC and laws on TV stations, and conditions on funding for sporting bodies give strong assistance (or is that betrayal?). This is causing an alarming drop in social cohesion, in an era when it is needed most. The anti-discrimination laws apply not only to race, but also to gender and sexual orientation. These laws are destroying the “host” nations and must be repealed. More money needs to be allocated to encouraging locals to have children, instead of spending it on imports – legal and illegal. There is confusion about racial discrimination. It is not a case of whites believing that coloureds are inferior. It is about the natural desire for ALL humans to be with their own kind. Even the imports want to be with their own kind, as evidenced by them congregating in particular suburbs of large cities eg the indian quarter, the chinese quarter, etc. That is one of nature’s laws, and is how nature preserves the different species. Anti discrimination laws are primarily used to silence the patriots who seek to preserve their nations and their culture. The left is not worried about those. They are just worried about keeping their snouts in the political trough in the short term, by any means.
Yes Roger we cannot allow a repition of what has happened in Europe, and I include Ireland. Yet we are headed the same way, and have been for some years so I do not see a Liberal-Labor conflict. The social disruption of over-population has accelerated under Labor with Treasury and others in full support. On one basis its allegedly an easy Budget revenue fix, so we are told.. That is clearly not true as deficits are forecast long term without apparent expectation for abatement. Islam in situ in Germany, France and the UK, Holland is a clear existential threat. It’s apparent on the streets in cities, noted on visits post covid. What can be done? Pause immigration pending a full scale public inquiry to identify a ‘sustainable population’ that government at all levels must manage. Right now we must halt the ‘right to protest’ continuously, every weekend. I realise I am peeing into the wind but we must insist on passing immigration and halting activist run protests, as undemocratic as that may be it is very likely to have significant majority support. Then comes a culturally compatible immigration policy. To not do it complies with Islamic invasion, already underway with birth rates. We need a major refit of a revised Australian curriculum, mandated to all schools. It should not reflect multi culturism at any level.
Good essay.
The primary issue which the term multiculturalism masks is that immigrants MUST support our democratic individual rights based democracy. Muslims don’t and neither do commies. This idiot government is importing both for vote-herd benefits to them. They are traitors.
