Under the Southern Cross I stand
A sprig of wattle in my hand
A native of our native land
Australia, Australia, you * * * beauty

Rod Marsh, Australian Cricketer. 1987

September 1st, was the date chosen by our earlier generations to be an occasion "primarily to inspire and stimulate an Australian national sentiment". It was felt this could be accomplished by embodying such sentiment in a native flower, and uniting as a people on the day to do it honour.

The Wattle had been selected as the most suitable of our native flora because of its accessibility, occurring as it does throughout the length and breadth of our continent, for without universality, no emblem, however beautiful, could expect general acceptance.

In addition, it was desired that the Wattle Blossom, as the Australian National Flower, should be worn, and its cultivation and display encouraged.

The call was made to "all citizens to foster, protect and cherish the Wattle; for a sacred charge to every Australian to plant it in all parks, reserves, and pleasure grounds and also private gardens, that it might become a source of pilgrimage in blossom time. Also to rouse the young people's sense of chivalry, and make the Wattle synonymous with Australia's honour."

Wattle Day was first celebrated in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in 1910, promoted by the citizens who had formed the Wattle Day League.

The Sydney Morning Herald editorial about the Day stated "To the Native Australian the wattle stands for home, country, kindred, sunshine and love - every instinct that the heart deeply enshrines".

The Wattle Day League was truly a patriotic society, in the vein of the Australian Natives Association, and promoted an "Australia First" outlook not only in our national values, but in a sense directly linked to the preservation and appreciation of the uniqueness of the flora of our land.

This attitude for patriotic sentiment included for an "Order of the Wattle Blossom" as an award for contribution to our Australian society, and for the day to give recognition to Australian manufacturers and Australian productions.

The theme suggested from the Golden Wattle was a representation:- "the golden fleece - the wool; the golden green - the wheat; the golden sunshine - the golden hearts of the Australian people".

In addition, was a call for the three cheers of hip hip hooray, of Danish/Polish origin, to be replaced by an Australian cry of three COO-EE'S, our then well known bush shout.

Sadly, this developing folkloric celebration was later submerged by "Imperial and Empire" type politicians, who had no real interest in Australian sentiment in practical terms, and the day has virtually passed into memory.

Successive cliques of the same internationalist/globalist politicians have continued to permit Australian culture to be undermined, particularly now through Americanisation in TV, films and the media. This has followed upon the extensive buy out of our natural and productive wealth by American corporations, and other foreign multinationals.

Australia since WWII has in effect been subject to economic, demographic and cultural re-colonisation, and the money changers values of exploitation, of materialism and consumerism, are now the main criteria of our society.

In this new century, our national culture and sentiment faces its final nemesis - multiculturalism - abetted by a population plague through never ending alien mass immigration, both policies of our Traitor Class of big business, their paid politicians, and a sycophantic media. The intent is to undermine our European civilisation as a prelude to the Asianisation of Australia, all deigned necessary for the exponential growth of corporate capitalism.

The policy of replacing our own Native Australian culture by a myriad of foreigners cultures is an insult to our pioneering generations, and shows contempt for our own heritage and national values. It is apposed by fairdinkum Australians.

Multiculturalism has no unifying purpose; it provides no common heritage; it has no goals; it is no culture for it is the antithesis of national consciousness, the very prerequisite for national survival. It means the destruction of our national identity and will see the passing of our Australia.

Against the money changers and their politicians subversion of our cultural heritage and identity, National Republicans call on all fairdinkum Australians to join in recreating the folkloric occasion of National Wattle Day.

Celebrate the day as an expression of our OWN AUSTRALIAN CULTURE, genuine patriotism and sentiment; in defence of our European civilisation; of environmental awareness; in support of a modern independent nation, possessing its own ecologically sustainable manufacturing base, and the wealth for citizens that flows therefrom.

To PARTICIPATE:· Wear a sprig of Wattle; plant a Wattle shrub in your garden; make a study of and reflect on Australia's OWN cultural heritage; dismiss toad politicians and multiculturalists as contemptible, and support the new forces of Australia First.

Fairdinkum Australians are fighting for the survival of Australia's historic culture and identity, for preserving in their entirety the unique eco-systems of our ancient continent. Our goal is to reconstruct the Australian Nation for the 21st century, as an organic self sufficient civilisation, founded on economic, political and cultural independence. This future is inevitable.
