Dear Editor,
All five “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing nations, Australia, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S., are facing a growing “Big M” problem.
And no, this isn’t about McDonald’s. It’s about mass immigration from cultures fundamentally misaligned with the Judeo-Christian, democratic foundations of Western civilisation.
Too many arrivals are openly or covertly hostile to those values, with no intention of integrating.
Australia is a standout example. It continues to undermine the only Western-style democracy in the Middle East – Israel – despite that nation being surrounded by 400 million mostly hostile neighbours.
The latest example: banning a controversial (but truthful) Israeli activist and sanctioning two right-wing Israeli ministers.
Meanwhile, the Australian government condones anti-Semitic hate speech from Islamic institutions and downplays riots like the October 8, 2023, disgrace at the Sydney Opera House.
Consider the irony: Australia’s most revered military figure, Jewish-Australian General Sir John Monash, whose face appears on the $100 note, commanded the decisive Battle of Hamel on July 4, 1918, aligning Australian and American forces in the first joint operation under Australian command.
And yet today, under the Labor government of Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong, and Tony Burke, Monash’s legacy is being politically trampled to appease cultural relativism and foreign agendas. Or is it something more calculated?
A deliberate shift away from the U.S.-Australia alliance, in favour of alignment with the CCP?
Either way, how will Albanese explain himself to Donald Trump when they meet?
Yours,
Howard Hutchins
