Multicultural secondclass Australians. All hail the aboriginal master race!

But the ABC told me the Great Replacement was false. Someone’s lying.

Disappointing of the ABC to promulgate the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.

Didn't white ppl coming to Australia pave way for multiculturalism? Without it, Australia would have been only Aboriginal and not multicultural at all. So why all the drama around Australia Day the past few weeks? 😂

Why are we wanting to turn Australia into Africa?

Where is the First Nations' representation on our main streets? Been here for 40,000 years and can't even get one shop up and running. Other cultures and. nationalities, who've been here for a few decades, seem to be thriving.

But I would like to know have they read the Twitter Files? ABC wont touch it.

It's how much money you make 🙄
