A Fair Go for all Australians
No extremism! No nonsense!
Q: Why do we need the Aussie Council?
A: Because extreme viewpoints are distorting our heritage. Some groups promote divisive and racist interpretations, while others focus solely on negative aspects and ignore the broader context. We’re reclaiming it for Australians who want zero drama—just a fair go for all. We just want to live a place where people know what common sense means and where common sense is common … well that’s the aim anyway.
“Back us to keep the clowns from turning things upside down.”
Q: It sounds like you are trying to speak for all Australians or that you think you own Australian culture?
A: If that is the case, then it is a testament to just how mainstream our values are! Thank you! But seriously, we are not so arrogant as to think we are the custodians of Australian culture or what it means to be Australian. We definitely do not claim to speak for all Australians: some of whom are out-of-touch elites, some of whom are bigots, and some of whom are deluded by a state of perpetual victimhood. That being said, we are happy to say we are Aussies.
“Nah, we reckon people will make up their own mind.”
Q: What is your stance on being woke?
A: We're exhausted by wokeness—but we get how it happened. Unfortunately, it was a solution to a problem of intolerance, but that solution is now almost as bad as the problem. We will think it is OK to apply a bit of Aussie humour to some of the wokeness, but it is also good to understand why sometimes it is needed.
“Trying to steer a middle course, keep things balanced, you know?”
Q: What’s your stance on immigration?
A: We support ongoing, sustainable immigration with integration. Newcomers should support core Aussie values (e.g., egalitarianism, democracy, secularism etc). We do not support ethnic enclaves that reject integration, yet at the same time we encourage every Australian to explore, study and understand their own unique ancestry and heritage. We’re not against diversity—we’re against division. Oh yeh, we are also against superiority complexes … it goes hand in hand with the whole egalitarian thing. Think your better? Yeh … Nah!
"Learn the lingo, respect our heritage, and don’t bring ancient grudges. Easy."
Q: Do you oppose any immigrant groups?
A: No. As a general principle we welcome every human being — but we do not endorse factions from any group who:
o Deliberately segregate themselves from Australian society and forbid inter-ethnic marriage.
o Import old-world conflicts (e.g., sectarian violence, class or caste systems, territorial disputes, religious discrimination etc).
o Seek to impose foreign norms that violate our core values (e.g., gender apartheid, blasphemy codes, ethnic or racial supremacy, theocracy or communism).
"Most migrants come here to join Australia; help it evolve but not remake it. We only exclude those who exclude themselves—by rejecting our egalitarian bargain."
Q: What is your stance on languages?
A: English should be non-negotiable—it’s the glue of Australian society and the international economy for that matter. People all over the world from Langkawi to Lisbon, and Cairo to Cape Town, learn English as a second language. We are lucky to have it as our de-facto official language. Once the English imposed their language around the world, they ceased to be its custodian. Hooray! We have our own unique dialect and embrace the fact that this will continue to evolve over time with the integration of new migrant groups. We are strong advocates for the local vernacular, “Strayan”, and wish for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves naturally. We also strongly advocate for the preservation of marginalised heritage languages (e.g., First Nations languages, Irish , Welsh, Cornish, or whatever other language was spoken by your ancestors).
"Bilingualism = good. Fragmentation = bad.”
Q: Are you monarchist or republican?
A: Republican, but not militant. The Crown is a relic, but we won’t waste energy on flag-burning theatrics. In the meantime, we live the fiction that we are a de-facto republic.
“We are already a de-facto Republic, we just need to make it official.”
Q: Stance on First Nations people?
A: They were here first, hence the name First Nations people. Some of our ancestors were colonisers, some were convicts, many were economic or political refugees, and some were squatters who seized Indigenous land. We support existing native title rights and, in the future, a treaty forged republic with minimal constitutional changes to bring about an Australian Head of State. However, we do not support legal frameworks that differentiate rights based on ethnicity. That being said we have a strong preference for the first Australian Head of State to be a First Nations person.
"Shared future, not shared guilt."
Q: What are your thoughts on Australia Day?
A: The 26th of January is a dumb date—it’s NSW’s birthday, not Australia’s, and it lands in the middle of the first week back to school. Oh, and yeh, a number of First Nations people (i.e. the ones that were here first) hate it and are offended by it. Change it to June or something when we don’t have any public holidays. At the same time, while 26th January remains the date, we are still going to enjoy our day off.
“Let’s change the date, but just take it easy until we officially become a Republic”
Q: I am a white supremacist or neo-Nazi, can I join your organisation?
A: No. We have zero tolerance for racism.
“We’re about our cultural heritage—and our culture includes telling bigots to get stuffed.”
Q: What about far-left self-hating so-called Australians who dismiss our culture as ‘oppressive’, ‘entitled’ or ‘privileged’, should I join?
A: Eh … probably not unless your open to changing your mindset. We don’t entertain: collective guilt narratives; cultural self-loathing; or revisionist history that ignores nuance.
“Criticism of historical events is fair; however, demonisation of millions of people isn’t.”
