I wrote last month about the Libertarian Party’s preliminary immigration policy and how it is basically no different to what Australia already has – open borders with a few extra steps.
They are still to release their official policy, and it’s a case of wait and see, but I have zero expectation that it will be any different .
As debate further raged about Australian and Anglo identity being erased through mass Indian migration all over X last week, Victorian Libertarian Candidate Jordan Dittloff proffered this in response to a post on Western culture:
I do not believe that race plays any part in what it means to be an Australian.
I fall into the category you mentioned of third generation German immigrants; my grandparents moved here after WW2.
They did not then nor do I now see Australia as a race or a people, but as an…

This is literally a Ben Shapiro/Milo Yiannopoulos talking point from 2015. “Race doesn’t matter, but acknowledge my German ancestry.”
All you had to do this week was watch the Boxing Day Test Match to notice the majority Indian crowd waving Indian flags, conversing in Hindi and wearing Indian cricket team shirts to know that this is rubbish.
It was so bad that even former Libertarian and One Nation MP Mark Latham tweeted about it in Sydney, writing: “Little India. No need to travel to Mumbai for this cricketing experience. SCG Day 2.”
The point is many of these people have Australian citizenship, and despite what Jordan and the magic soil brigade tell themselves it is obvious that their identity and allegiance is clearly with India.
And this is just one group we’ve imported.
I’ve noticed that this is a common tactic among civic nationalists and libertarians when they are losing a debate about immigration and Australian identity. None of them want to mention the “evil” White Australia Policy or the history of our nation and what it was actually founded on.
Further to Dittloff’s comments, NSW Libertarian Party leader John Ruddick has, on multiple occasions, affirmed that the Libertarian Party is “colour blind” and dislikes ethnonationalism. Here’s a video from Australia Day last year espousing that same thing:
Sydney Opera House right now … promoting ethno- nationalism.
Libertarians believe in a colour blind society.

And here’s a recent speech in NSW Parliament:
We’ve seen the left’s obsession with skin colour and identity politics take a hit. But we must remain resolute and remember the lesson of Martin Luther King 👇https://t.co/3vvOy1vVOE

Colour blind just means multiculturalism by a different name, and is just another form of internalised self-hatred that many Australians have which they then express with needing validation from foreigners.
And how has that colour blind society worked out for us so far? Have a look for yourself on New Year’s Eve in Melbourne:

And Africans attacking Indians in Melbourne sure looks colour blind.
They’re all just as Aussie as me – they ticked “Yes” on the Australian Values Statement on their Citizenship Application Form that their migration agent filled out for them.
Of all the times in Australian political history, when foreign subversion is at record highs, Australians are being crushed by immigration and multiculturalism has reached its zenith in multiple foreign disputes being fought out on Australian streets, does a party come up with this political suicide.
Simply put, if anyone can be Australian then no-one is Australian. What’s the point of having a nation then? Just call us an Economic Zone and be done with it.
The first 14 Prime Ministers of Australia supported the White Australia Policy. The very first act of Parliament following Federation on January 1st, 1901 was the passing of the Immigration Restriction Act. The third act of parliament was the mass deportation of Islander ‘Kanakas’ via the Pacific Islanders Labourers Act.
It was only beginning in the late 1960s and ending in 1973 with lobbying by people like Walter Lippman was the White Australia Policy formally removed without a public vote or consent. Since then, the assaults on Australia’s identity, heritage and the founding stock of this country has been relentless from all sides.
Here’s Robert Menzies espousing his views:
Much like the uniparty and the civic nationalists at One Nation, the Libertarian Party appear to have reduced Australian citizenship and identity to nothing more than a Costco Membership. Pay your access fee, sign up to some paperwork and then if you’re really, really, really bad you might temporarily lose your access.
Furthermore, the British-Australian Community did an excellent commentary on Australian identity and the subversive works of Adelaide artist Peter Drew which you might recognise being plastered up around the place:
Their book Anglophobia is also a must-read on this topic.
If Australia is just an idea, why can’t foreigners just have the idea without coming here?
What’s stopping them from having that same idea in their own country? If you want a lengthy and prescient answer to this question, then I implore you to watch Sam Hyde’s viral video from earlier this month, as all the same points apply to wherever you are in the Anglosphere.
Ultimately, in my view the Libertarians don’t want to address the issue of race and culture. Australia was never meant to be an “idea” or a melting pot – melting pot is mentioned exactly zero times in the Australian constitution and by the founding fathers.
Australian isn’t a propositional nation or an idea. I can play that game too – what’s an Indian? What’s a Vietnamese? And so on.
To be fair, the Libertarian Party’s Queensland senate candidate Lachlan Lade released this video on the weekend stating his position:
What is an Australian?
Because Australia is unique.
We are a European nation situated in the heart of Asia. pic.twitter.com/79j9AjdvEN
— Lachlan Lade (@Dunder_viking) January 4, 2025
My one major criticism of it is Australia is not part of Asia and never has been, we’re on an entirely different tectonic plate and that lie was used by Paul Keating to push the Asianisation of Australia in the 1980s.
This effort from Lade is better, but the problem is, where’s the consistent position? There’s basically three different branches of the LP saying different things on the most important national issue of our time.
If the Libertarian Party are really going to run with this “We’re All Australian” civic nationalist stuff from the 90s, then they’re better off turning on the ABC and singing along to that cringe-inducing “I Am You Are Australian” advertisement and ultimately, they deserve zero seats. They are now on par with One Nation and as we’ve seen in Western Australia last week, the Liberal Party.
Any party that can fight for Australian identity and actually have the courage to follow through with it will dominate the future of politics, or Australia simply ceases to exist.
