There are to be marches for neutrality across Australia on Saturday. How well these rallies will be attended remains to be seen. Certainly those who are employed would be taking some risks in attending. You may say what you like in Australia but that doesn’t mean that you will still have a job on Monday. While few Australians could probably find Ukraine on a map of the world and few have any idea about the root causes of its current conflict with Russia, that doesn’t stop most from supporting Ukraine completely — at least that is my experience.

Simeon Boikov, the so-called Aussie Cossack, seems to be the main driving force behind the marches. I personally like him, and wish him and his followers success on Saturday, and I hope he doesn’t finish up back in the pokey.

With regard to the subject of the marches — neutrality for Australia, I agree completely. We have hitched our wagon to a failing U.S. and a failed U.K. — they were once great allies and great people but those days are long gone. We can still remain friends, but not be bound by any treaties that may drag us into disastrous wars — friendship would be our default position as regards all other nations. We would be free, as one of the most resource-rich nations on Earth, to work as quickly as possible towards being a heavily armed neutral state.

We have an adequate population to form a large defence force. Some sacrifices would have to be made, with much more money allocated to defence and much less to superfluous and woke programs that only serve to weaken rather than strengthen our nation. National service for eligible males would have to be reinstated, (1 year only), but that would be in a social sense tremendously beneficial in itself — it would go a long way to solving many of the youth problems we now have. There are I think about 20 countries throughout the world that have neutral non-aligned status. Austria and Mongolia are just 2 examples.
