March for Australia participants should call for a Double Dissolution of federal parliament over immigration

https://marchforaustralia.org/

March for Australia participants next Sunday, August 31, should be calling for a Double Dissolution of federal parliament, which would put a stop to Labor’s unbridled mass immigration of people incompatible with the Australian way of life.

The Nationals after finally opposing Net Zero are in a good position to now call for the dissolution of parliament citing the damage being caused to much of the country’s best farmland and renewables- induced de-industrialisation of manufacturing industries which is destroying the economic, cultural and social fabric of Australia.

The Nationals could also move to stop massive immigration which saw in the first few months of 2025, approximately 3,991 net permanent and long-term immigrant arrivals per day, which equates to roughly 27,937 per week. This figure represents the highest daily net arrivals on record, though it varies month-to-month with monthly net permanent and long-term arrivals in February 2025 being 111,740. 

Albanese, Burke and Wong are cementing their voting base for a generation to come which would ensure the large numbers of existing and recently imported Muslims and the existing Indian Labor supporters could keep Labor in power indefinitely.

If rallies are in any doubt about numbers of Islamic people they had better have a look at the Palestinian supporters marching around the country two weeks ago and today. There is no time for complacency.

PM Albanese’s inability or refusal to meet with President Trump who commands the US military has thrown Australia’s defence pacts with America into jeopardy. Australia could well be at the mercy of an invader, while state police forces are busily disarming law abiding gun owners resulting in a potentially defenceless population.

It is doubtful the Liberals or Nationals leader David Littleproud would support dissolution of both parliaments however rank-and-file Nationals led by Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan could swing the pendulum.

State organisers of Sunday’s march have time to get the message out to every city rally. If the rallies supported the plan, the Nationals, One Nation and Independents combined in the senate could start political maneuvering to trigger a spill.

The combined senators could refuse to support any and all bills put before the senate forcing Labor’s hand to dissolve parliament, alternatively senators could visit the Governor General advising her they refuse to support any bills coming before the senate.

The last double dissolution of the Australian Parliament occurred in 2016, when then-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull requested the Governor-General to dissolve both the Senate and the House of Representatives on May 8, 2016, triggering a double dissolution election held on July 2, 2016.

The trigger for the dissolution was a deadlock between the two houses over legislation related to the Registered Organisations Bill and the Australian Building and Construction Commission Bill. Although the Turnbull government retained a narrow majority in the House, it still needed to secure the passage of the disputed legislation in the Senate after the election, which it eventually did after the Senate proposed and the House agreed to amendments. 

Key Details of the 2016 Double Dissolution:

• Date of Dissolution: May 9, 2016. 

Date of Election: July 2, 2016. Triggering Legislation: The deadlock concerned two specific bills: the Registered Organisations Bill and the Australian Building and Construction Commission Bill. 

Prime Minister: Malcolm Turnbull. Governor-General: Sir Peter Cosgrove. Constitutional Basis: Section 57 of the Constitution allows the Governor-General, on the advice of the Prime Minister, to dissolve both houses in the event of a legislative deadlock.

What happened after the 2016 double dissolution election? 

• The Turnbull government was returned but did not secure a Senate majority.
• The disputed legislation was reintroduced after the election.
• The legislation was ultimately passed after the government agreed to amendments proposed by the Senate.

Significance of the event:

• It was the first double dissolution election since 1987. 

It occurred under a new Senate voting system that replaced group voting tickets with optional preferential voting.  It demonstrated a way for governments to resolve legislative deadlocks with the Senate, even if it requires a new election and subsequent negotiation.
