DEFYING THE PREMIER: Thousands to Flood Sydney and Melbourne Streets in ‘Save Australia’ Rallies Demanding PM’s Resignation Amid Fears of “Treason” Over Immigration Policies
- Mass gatherings planned in Sydney’s Alfred Park and Melbourne’s Parliament Steps despite Premier Chris Minns’ urgent calls to quell demonstrations
- Rallies demand PM Anthony Albanese and ministers Tony Burke and Penny Wong step down over “treasonous” immigration policies
- Organiser Morgan Jonas claims “radical Islamic theology” is being promoted through protests, putting Australian lives at risk
In a bold move of defiance, thousands are expected to converge on Sydney’s Alfred Park and Melbourne’s Parliament Steps this weekend, ignoring Premier Chris Minns’ pleas to abandon plans for mass gatherings in the aftermath of the Bondi Massacre.
At the centre of the controversy are the “Save Australia” rallies, which are calling for the ousting of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and ministers Tony Burke and Penny Wong. Organisers are adamant that the government’s immigration policies are “treasonous” and threaten to “destabilise Australia’s peace, freedom, and prosperity”.
Jonas has accused the government of “fundamentally failing to control extremism”, pointing to targeted attacks on Jewish people, vandalised synagogues, and “open Nazi rallies” as evidence of their inaction. He has called for “drastic change” in the country’s leadership, urging people to take their political involvement seriously and fight to “save this country, preserve our culture and way of life, and the freedoms Australians know and value”.
In a surprising move, Premier Chris Minns has proposed new legislation to grant police sweeping powers to block public assemblies during high-risk times, such as terrorist events. While the plan is not yet law, it has sparked concerns about the fine line between upholding national security and stamping out free speech.
Jonas has vowed to tackle any challenges that may arise, saying, “We would make a decision at the time if they were to present themselves to us.” He questioned the government’s commitment to addressing extremism, stating, “I don’t think the Premier is serious about solving this deep-seated problem, so we’ll just have to see what happens.”
Despite the uncertainty, Jonas is bullish about the rallies, expecting several thousand people to attend. Safety marshals will be in place, and a zero-tolerance policy for racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and violence will be enforced. The event promises to be a dramatic show of force, with the people taking to the streets to express their opposition to the government’s failings.
