Preserve and Defend Australia's Unique National Traditions
The issue
I write this plea as an Australian, deeply concerned about the erosion of our culture, traditions, and way of life. We are seeing significant alterations, caused by a small minority, which threaten the integrity of our lifestyle and shared values. Things like Christmas, carols, Australia Day and much more are under threat of extinction because politicians won't stand up for the majority, instead, cow towing to a vocal minority.
Australia's cultural uniqueness is recognized internationally. UNESCO has listed 20 Australian practices and expressions in its Intangible Cultural Heritage, bearing testimony to the rich cultural heritage of our country (UNESCO, 2020). The influence of the minority groups is directly impacting this heritage, taking away the essence of our national identity that has been fostered over generations.
Our traditional Australian lifestyle is dear to not only the 25 million Australians living in the country but also to the more than one million Australians living abroad (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2019). As we watch the very soul of Australia being reshaped, we feel a profound sense of loss. The result is not just a loss for us, it's a loss for future generations who deserve to know and preserve the authentic and true Australia.
We must safeguard our traditions by showing politians that we care and have laws enacted to enforce our Christian traditions, Christmas, Easter and our special day 26th January be immune to the whims of a small percentage of the community and weak councils making by laws to suit their agenda.
It is our responsibility to safeguard our traditions, culture, and way of life, for the sake of future generations, for the sake of the Australia that we know and love. We must raise our voice against changes that threaten the erosion of our cultural fabric.
Let us join hands in defending Australia's cultural heritage. Every signature is a step towards preserving our beloved traditions and way of life. Please sign this petition. Stand up for Australia. Stand up for our future.
