SYDNEY—Western nations, like Australia, cannot keep relying on “mass migration” to sustain their population and economies while abortion rates are so high, according to One Nation candidate Stuart Bonds.
Bonds made the comments during the latest iteration of “Australia Marches” against mass migration, which has progressed across the country and held its latest rally and march in Sydney on Nov. 8. The next and last event is in Canberra.
Bonds, who is One Nation’s lead candidate for the New South Wales upper house, also spoke about the need for cultural conformity.
“What is a country? It’s a shared culture, a shared border, a shared flag, a shared language, and a dominant religion,” he told the audience.
“After 500 years of white South Africans being in Africa, they’ve been told they don’t belong in South Africa [in reference to the post-Apartheid government]. After 400 years of the Americans being in America, they’ve been told they don’t belong in America,” he added.

Bonds is a former coal miner who came close to winning the federal coal-mining seat of Hunter from Labor, amid concerns among local coal-mining families about the impact of climate change policies on their livelihoods.
Bonds also took aim at the argument that migration was a key pillar of the economy, noting that “we are told that we aren’t having enough children to support our welfare systems.”
“Let me tell you, there’s 3.2 million European children are aborted every year, 1.2 million Americans, 100,000 Canadians, and 100,000 Australians. Over 10 years, that’s about 50 million English-European-American children that are aborted.
“Make no mistake, we are being demographically replaced inside our own nation.”
On the sidelines of the event, Bonds spoke to The Epoch Times about the upcoming anniversary of the Bondi Beach Massacre on Dec. 14.
“There’s been a failure of our detection systems, and when we have a look at what’s happening overseas in France, Belgium, Italy, and in Spain—the violence is starting to spill over onto the streets,” he said.
“I don’t ever want to see another Bondi again, and I hope that people on that day, on the anniversary, remember to vote for people who are going to prevent this happening again.”
His speech has drawn criticism with Labor’s Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly saying Australians with migrant backgrounds were not replacing Australians.
“Questioning someone’s right to belong because of their race or ancestry is not a debate about immigration. It’s divisive, dangerous and goes against everything we stand for as Australians,” she said in comments obtained by AAP.
