A vicious far-left fear campaign aimed at shutting down a Melbourne speech night discussing immigration and demographic replacement has failed.
The event has been renamed to “We Have Not Been Silenced” as a result, and organisers told Noticer News that although the original venue had been forced to pull out, the discussion would take place at a new location at 6.30pm on Friday, December 13.
Matt Trihey from the National Workers Alliance (NWA) said the speeches by himself and Neighbours star Damien Richardson on stopping demographic replacement, mass immigration and media lies would now be livestreamed due to a surge in interest generated by the cancellation efforts.
“The organiser would like to thank the new venue for stepping up at short notice and having the courage to support free speech in allowing us to have a discussion on the most important issue of our time,” Mr Trihey said.
“The National Workers Alliance hold no hard feelings towards the Polish Club who received considerable pressure including threats from those who refuse to debate the issue and resort to fear tactics to shut down anyone who questions the narrative.
“The extra coverage this event has received has resulted in increased interest and awareness of the issue, so we will be live-streaming for anyone unable to attend.”
Noticer News understand that the Polish Club in Rowville, which hosted the NWA’s first event in June, pulled out earlier this week due to pressure from powerful opponents of the event and biased corporate media coverage.
The second NWA event went ahead at a different venue in September, but resulted in attempts by radical leftists to have the business shut down in the days following, and speakers were subjected to personal attacks from left-wing journalists in the corporate press and in a segment on taxpayer-funded ABC TV.
On Saturday, prominent Australian nationalist Blair Cottrell hit back at an error-strewn article in the Saturday Herald Sun which labelled the event “far right” and implied the Polish Club should not be hosting the event since it promotes itself as a “multicultural hub”.

“This morning I noticed I was mentioned in a newspaper article,” Mr Cottrell said in his video. “It’s mendacious reporting as usual, so let’s analyse it.”
“Matty is sending out invitations to all working Aussies for a free and open discussion about immigration and other problems Australia faces. That’s the reality of what’s actually happening.
“It shouldn’t be a big deal, but for some reason journalists like Fergus Ellis are really upset that working people are coming together on their own to discuss real social problems, maybe because journalists like Fergus Ellis are part of the problem.
“Ellis even states that after Matty’s last National Workers Alliance meeting in McKinnon the venue hosting that meeting was ‘boycotted by locals and shut its doors soon after’. Do you want to know what really happened? The event was not boycotted by locals, it was attended by locals.
“But then afterwards, communists from the north end of the city threatened to travel out to McKinnon and burn the venue down. The owner unfortunately caved to those threats and closed his doors temporarily, until the heat died down. Nothing actually happened to the venue and the owner didn’t have to close. It was all just a bit of left-wing terror, because working people are organising their own meetings not controlled by unions or communists.”
