The Invasion has Already Happened: Australia’s Quiet Defection from the West, By Paul Walker

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's July 2025 speech honouring John Curtin was sold by the mainstream press as a patriotic nod to history. But to those paying attention, it was a chilling declaration: Australia is pivoting, not just away from the United States, but from the West itself. Albanese's claim that we are "not shackled by our past" isn't mere rhetoric; it's the culmination of decades of deliberate reorientation, from Keating's "Asianisation" to Howard's acquiescence, now accelerated under Labor's radical helm. The invasion Australia once feared isn't coming, it's already here, embedded in our demographics, our economy, and our leadership's cozy embrace of Beijing.

This isn't a sudden betrayal. It began in the 1990s under Paul Keating, who championed Australia's integration into Asia, framing it as economic necessity. His push for ties with China, Indonesia, and ASEAN shifted Australia's gaze from its Anglo-Celtic roots toward a nebulous Asia-Pacific identity. John Howard, despite his conservative credentials, doubled down, with Chinese trade soaring from 3% of exports in 1991 to 15% by 2007. Peter Wilkinson's The Howard Legacy: Displacement of Traditional Australia from the Professional and Managerial Classes (2007) warned that Howard's policies, particularly the influx of over 100,000 Chinese students by 2007, were displacing Australia's traditional professional class with a new elite less tethered to its Western heritage. That was nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands that came under Albanese.

By 2025, China accounts for 30% of Australia's trade, and Chinese students contribute $12 billion annually to universities, according to the Department of Education, a figure challenged by Macrobusiness.com in many articles. Under Albanese, net immigration has surged, with nearly 2 million arrivals since 2022, many from Asia, as reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This isn't just demographic change, it's a cultural and political transformation. As X user @Lisa9Sophia posted on July 8, 2025, "Albanese's 'patriotism' is a mask for handing Australia to foreign interests." The professional class, once the backbone of Australia's Anglo identity, is increasingly cosmopolitan, loyal to global markets rather than national history. Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations (1996) foresaw such cultural shifts as precursors to strategic realignments, and Australia's trajectory seems to bear him out.

Albanese's Curtin speech, delivered on the 80th anniversary of the wartime PM's death, was no innocent tribute. Curtin pivoted to America in 1941 to defend a White Australia against Japanese aggression, rooted in Anglo-Saxon solidarity. Albanese, by contrast, invokes sovereignty to signal independence from the U.S., proclaiming Australia "speaks for itself." As The Australian's Greg Sheridan observed on July 6, 2025, Albanese "relates better to the leadership of the People's Republic of China than to the United States," having met Xi Jinping four times while avoiding Donald Trump entirely. Sheridan's shock underscores the gravity: an Australian PM finding "political comfort in Beijing" is a seismic shift.

Trevor Loudon's Comrade Prime Minister (2025) provides the backstory. Albanese's roots in Sydney University's Marxist circles, tied to the Communist Party of Australia and its Beijing-aligned SEARCH Foundation, suggest a lifelong alignment with anti-Western ideologies. X user @RyanWil62993886 claims Albanese's "communist leanings" explain his reluctance to challenge China, citing cancelled defence projects like F-35 squadrons. While the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) clarifies these cancellations stem from budget constraints, its 2023 report warns of stagnant defence spending, leaving Australia with just three weeks' fuel and limited missile stockpiles, hardly a nation prepared for conflict.

Albanese's actions speak louder than his words. The 2015 lease of the Port of Darwin to Chinese-owned Landbridge for 99 years, though predating his tenure, remains a sore point he's only belatedly addressed. Reports of Chinese vessels mapping Australia's underwater cables in 2025, as noted by opposition leader Peter Dutton in a July 3, 2025, press release, raise espionage fears. Yet Albanese's frequent visits to Beijing and reluctance to confront China's regional ambitions suggest a troubling deference.

The claim that "the invasion has already happened" points to demographic transformation as the real threat. Australia's Chinese-born population grew from 200,000 in 2001 to over 600,000 by 2021, per the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with students and professionals driving the shift. The Howard Legacy argued this would reshape Australia's elite, and today's tech, finance, and academic sectors reflect that prophecy. Multiculturalism, sold as a social good, has instead eroded the cultural cohesion that once fuelled national pride. As X user @JohnAndersonAC posted on July 7, 2025, "Our leaders have traded sovereignty for globalist ideals."

This isn't about individual immigrants but systemic consequences. A 2020 ASIO report flagged foreign interference, particularly from China, in universities and politics. Cases like Chinese donations to politicians and pressure on academics, documented by the ABC in 2019, highlight the risk. When a nation's elite no longer share its historical identity, their loyalty shifts to global capital or foreign powers. Albanese's "not shackled by our past" rhetoric dismisses the Anglo-Celtic heritage that forged Australia's resilience, replacing it with a rootless, technocratic vision. In a crisis, will this new Australia fight for its land, or fold as David Hiscox predicts in his Richardson Post article?

Australia's strategic vulnerabilities compound the cultural critique. With no sovereign energy reserves, negligible wartime manufacturing, and a defence force unprepared for attrition, the nation is exposed. ASPI's 2023 report warned Australia lacks the industrial capacity to sustain a Pacific conflict, and Chinese military exercises near Taiwan in June 2025 underscore the threat. Hiscox's claim that "China won't need to invade" rings true as Australia's leaders prioritise profits over security. Albanese's commitment to AUKUS submarines, while notable, won't deliver until the 2040s, leaving a dangerous gap.

Albanese's vision of a "sovereign" Australia unshackled from its past betrays the ANZACs, Curtin's defiance, and the White Australia policy that once defined national survival. Multiculturalism hasn't just failed, it's a fifth column, severing the psychological bond between people and land. But hope lies beyond Canberra. A growing consciousness among White Australians, fuelled by dispossession, political, cultural, demographic, is stirring. X posts like @AussiePatriot77's call for "a party that puts Aussies first" on July 6, 2025, reflect this awakening.

The solution isn't nostalgia but action: a nationalist political movement that speaks unapologetically about race, immigration, and identity. Such a party must demand:

Defence Overhaul: Triple fuel reserves to 12 weeks, rebuild manufacturing, and accelerate AUKUS delivery by 2035, as recommended by ASPI.

Immigration Reform: Cap inflows at 50,000 annually and prioritise cultural compatibility, aligning with the 68% of Australians favouring housing-first policies.

Economic Decoupling: Reduce China trade reliance to 15% by 2030 through domestic industry and Western partnerships, learning from Canada's diversification model.

Cultural Revival: Celebrate Anglo-Celtic heritage through education and public monuments, reinforcing the nation's core identity.

This party doesn't yet sit in Parliament, but it's coming. It will speak not for Beijing or Washington, but for Australians, the descendants of those who built this nation and those who still believe it's worth saving. The fight for Australia has only begun.

The XYZ previously predicted that an Australian government would capitulate pathetically if and when it is faced with a Chinese invasion. Far from being sensationalist, the takeaway from Prime Minister Albanese's is that we are never sensationalist enough.

From some random Dinosaur Media blog:

Anthony Albanese has hinted at a growing disconnect with the United States in a landmark speech observers say will annoy the Trump administration at a critical time in the strategic partnership.

The Prime Minister delivered a keynote speech in Sydney on Saturday night paying homage John Curtin on the 80th anniversary of the former Labor PM's death, pointedly declaring that Australia would pursue its interests as a "sovereign nation" and not be "shackled to the past".

"The great creative tension of Australian Labor is that while we love our history, we are not hostages to it," Mr Albanese told the audience at the John Curtin Research Centre.

"We are links in a long chain — but we are not shackled to our past. We draw from it, we build on it and we learn from it."

Mr Albanese described Mr Curtin as not just the leader who founded Australia's long-held alliance with the US, but one who stood up against allied super powers, in pointed comments amid concerns over Australia's relationship with America.

When a Prime Minister, who has trafficked nearly 2 million net new immigrants into Australia since his election in 2022, says we are not shackled by our past, this should raise alarm bells. Moreover, when said mass immigration fanatic attempts to retcon the legacy of one of the staunchest advocates of the White Australia Policy, it should be clear that national betrayal is on the cards.

Again if this strikes you as sensationalist, then so is one of the most experienced foreign policy analysts in the Australian MSM:

The Australian's foreign editor Greg Sheridan wrote in a Sunday op-ed that Mr Albanese had "achieved something astonishing for an Australian Prime Minister, only ever accomplished once before".

"He now knows, relates to and benefits from the leadership of the People's Republic of China much better than he knows the leadership of the United States of America," he wrote.

"The Prime Minister is about to embark on an extended trip to China, where he will have his fourth meeting with President Xi Jinping.

"By contrast, he has never met Donald Trump, who served as president for four years from 2016 and who was elected president again more than eight months ago.

"Albanese finds political comfort in Beijing and apparently political terror in Washington."

This becomes clear when we dissect Albanese's language:

"Or swapping an alliance with the old world for one with the new. It was a recognition that Australia's fate would be decided in our region. It followed the decision Curtin had made in 1941 that Australia would issue its own declaration of war with Japan. Speaking for ourselves, as a sovereign nation."

Mr Albanese added "we remember Curtin not just because he looked to America … we honour him because he spoke for Australia".

"For Australia and for Labor, that independence has never meant isolationism," he said.

"Choosing our own way, doesn't mean going it alone."

He's right, but not in the way you think. Australia has three weeks' domestic supply of fuel should our supply lines be cut. Given the vast distances between Australian towns and cities, millions of Australian residents would likely starve as logistics chains slowed to horse pace.

Australia possesses high tech weaponry, but as Iran demonstrated recently, the most advanced missile defences can be overwhelmed. Israel was one day away from running out of air defence missiles. Without resupply nor the industrial capacity to sustain a war of attrition, the Chinese have made clear that we don't have enough ships, we don't have enough missiles.

Nor does the US. In a war of attrition, by the time Chinese forces were ready to invade Australia, US forces would already be effectively cut off, and focused on defending the continental United States.

In such a situation, a political class obsessed with sex quotas, playing dress ups, and giving our country away to political …. would cave in about three seconds. It is therefore my contention that China will never invade Australia because it simply won't need to.

However, Albanese's speech indicates that an Australian government may well defect ahead of time. When Albanese says "choosing our own way, doesn't mean going it alone," who else can he possibly mean? Europe's militaries and its demographics are a shadow of their former selves, and focused solely on Russia. A pivot back to Europe would put Australia in the exact same position we were in before Curtin pivoted to the American during WWII.

Albanese waffled in his speech about building links with other middling powers in the South East Asian region, but this is either fantasy or obfuscation. From the dawn of human civilisation, the global order has always been dominated by major powers. You must pick a side.

Thus Albanese can only mean one thing – Australian governments will pivot to China. This follows on very simply from the logic I have outlined as to why multiculturalism undermines Australia's defence.

Pivoting from Great Britain to America in the 1940's made sense because we were an Anglo Saxon nation swapping one Anglo Saxon alliance with another. Moreover we did so explicitly in order to fight a race war against an Asian invader.

While these racial realities are still of paramount importance to White Australians, they matter not a single jot to Australia's rulers, nor to international relations. Australia is an economic zone populated by a mess of competing races, whose rulers explicitly repress the interests of White Australians. When weighing an alliance between a multicultural America and a multicultural China, the only thing that will matter to a multicultural Australian government "not shackled to our past" is power.

However, beyond exchanging a … American master for a Chinese one, there is hope.

Australia's nationalists are laying the groundwork for a political party which represents White Australians. Such a party is the only political force which can defend Australia because it is the only force which can motivate White Australians to defend the country. Moreover there are tangible steps an Australian nationalist government can take to credibly defend Australia, which I will cover in coming weeks and months."

New Zealand author Trevor Loudon has conducted a deep dive into the communist affiliations of the current Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. In Comrade Prime Minister, Trevor Loudon meticulously excavates Albanese's previously-hidden forty year alliance with the tiny - but extremely influential - Australian revolutionary movement.

From his involvement in militant student activism during his time at the University of Sydney, to his current choice of personnel and policy direction, Prime Minister Albanese consistently follows the "line" of the former Communist Party of Australia (CPA) and its even more dangerous successor, the Sydney-based SEARCH Foundation.

Albanese has been propelled to prominence by influential Australians whose true allegiance belongs to Moscow, Beijing, and Havana, not Australia.

As the General Election approaches, Trevor Loudon's Comrade Prime Minister - backed by 46 pages of references and direct communist and socialist sources - exposes the true Anthony Albanese. Throughout his decades-long career, many of the Prime Minister's closest comrades have worked in the interests of Russia, China, Iran, Cuba and various "Third World" revolutionary movements and regimes.

Does Prime Minister Albanese really have Australia's best interests at heart?"
