White Dogs of Australia feat Lucy Valentine (Premium E304) Sample
00:00POMAYOR.If you're hearing this, well done, you found a way to connect to the internet.Welcome to the QAA podcast Premium Episode 304, White Dogs of Australia.As always, we are your host, Jake Rockatansky, Liv Aker, and Julian Field.This week, we've got a fantastic guest.You've heard her on this podcast.You've heard her on Perverts.She's one of the co-hosts of the Bonta Vista podcast.
00:55It's Lucy Valentine.Welcome to the pod, Lucy.Hey, it's nice to be back.It's been a while.I figured, you know, if we're going to have an Australia episode,we need at least one Australian to not make it feel like we're doing it.It would be offensive otherwise, yeah.That's true.
01:07I think it's illegal.It would be illegal, actually.It's illegal.Yeah.Yeah, especially with me here, like, the cops would be at my door very quickly.And they are very violent here.They sure are.Yeah.
01:18I think you've been really settling into Australia, by the way.I'm worried I've been kind of, like, wake and friding you.Like, I've been the disgusting little Australian man that's like,drink, drink, drink.Yeah.Having the real Australian experience.experience. Yeah, I had never done that before I came here.Yeah. I thought that all the cops in Australia had like eight legs and like they
01:38hung out on the ceilings. Like you haven't seen any of those, Julian?Well, I've been caught in a few webs. Yeah. All consensual. Well, I suppose we might as welljump into the episode that I regret taking upon myself and writing and every part of it.And I regret being here today to record it with you guys, so...Wake in fright.I was in some kind of fugue state, stranded on the 15th floor of a high-rise in Brisbane, Australia,hiding out from a variety of ills, both personal and political.Military fighter jets had been corralled over the city for several days now to threaten me.
02:16The only thing keeping me alive was a steady diet of Dexies, black market cigarettes, beer,and some very fine coffee.That and Brecky.They're really quite good at Brecky.The situation was dire.I was just a few days from having to return to the United States, and the news comingout of that wretched hellhole had grown increasingly alarming, even by American standards.A surreal video of some guy chipping off the word defense from a government building and
02:38replacing it with war.Militarized police marching the streets.Mass thugs thrown a badge by some of the most evil people on earth, proudly drivingaround residential neighborhoods looking for people to blackbag and deport.The hallucinatory self-destruction of the West through their stubborn material support for Israelas they live stream a Holocaust.And then there was the summary execution of a group of supposed drug dealing gang members from Venezuela.Their boat disappearing in a ball of fire, in the footage proudly released by the government.
03:05We were swirling down the shitter at speeds unseen.And in the opposite direction.Yes, exactly.With seven days left to go in my little working vacation, I pondered just how lazy I'd become.Sure, I got my QAA work done, but I was barely capable of that.A great lassitude had come over me months, maybe even years prior, and itjust didn't seem to want to dissipate. I had to accomplish a single thing while I was here,something to hang my hat on and say, see, I exist. But the only thing I'd invested proper time in
03:35was an ill-advised endeavor I hesitate to even call a prank. It was more like a Russian nestingdoll of terrible decisions, each one trapping me in the next, each one bringing me physicallycloser to a man called Drew Pavlou. I knew him due to his Twitter account with about175,000 followers, which had become a running joke among me and a couple of friends due to howannoying and morally repugnant it was. But this episode is not about him. It's about Australia,a country like many others in the perceived West that has been absolutely shitting its pantsabout white people being replaced by non-white people. If anything, Drew Pavilu was an irritatingcreature of the awful moment. This was larger than whatever psychosexual derangements had pushed him
04:18to post the way he did about deportation and non-white immigrants like a dog baying for blood.But before we get to dark abundance, me driving to the University of Queensland to meet Drew Pavlouand the excellent Australian punk man Coffin, we need to talk about March for Australia,a set of protests held in all the major Australian cities on August 31st of this year, 2025.Although most of the Australian media is owned by the evil billionaire Rupert Murdoch,there are still some outlets trying to do decent reporting.Among them, a funny little paper called Crikey.Now, we've actually spoken to a great reporter from Crikey before, Cam Wilson, but in this case,
04:56I'm going to be relying on reporting by another Crikey journalist, Danielle Saeed.He wrote an article about the amount of politicians who attended these rallies.A number of Australian politicians joined neo-Nazis, conspiracy theorists, and other anti-immigrationprotesters on Sunday for the March for Australia.Police estimate around 5,000 protesters, as well as counter-protesters, took to Melbourne streetsfor an event where well-known neo-NaziThomas Sewell spoke.Sewell was described as a, quote,
05:23right-wing activist by Sky Newsin an interview in front of the Flinders Street Stationand was wearing a Helly Hansen jacketsporting the brand's H-H-Logh logo,a choice of attire shared by several of his comrades.So that, of course, for the unversed is Heil Hitler.Yeah, it's not Hulk Hogan, to tell you that.Yeah, and calling him a right-wing activist
05:42is very funny.That is very funny.His party is straight, like, straight up, like,Like, outwardly, Nazi.Yeah, openly.Meanwhile, around 8,000 people were estimated to have turned out in Sydney.While the exact role of any neo-Nazis or related groups in the planning of the marches is unclear,what is clear is that several of them spoke at the Melbourne rally,
06:04while white nationalists were responsible for at least some of the logistical support.A number of notable federal and state politicians attended the marches in their respective cities,including independent MP Bob Catter in Townsville,and One Nation Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts in Canberra.Several other local and state-level politicians and political aspirants also attended,including two Libertarian Party representatives,New South Wales state member John Ruddick and Sydney Councilor Steve Christu.Lee Hanson, Pauline's daughter, spoke at the march in Hobart.
06:37Now, I realize this is a long list of names that might be unfamiliar for anybody in our audiencewho is not Australian, so I'd like to focus a bit on a father-son duo,which Saeed writes about in the article.Catter senior and junior, as well as two other Catter Australian Party politicians,were photographed at the Townsville rally with a man believed to be a neo-Nazi.Both Cattermen made use of a megaphone adorned with Nordic-style runesassociated with the Shutzafel, the Nazi paramilitary organization.Yeah, so the little SS, those little SS lightning bolts.
07:08They taped it onto the megaphone, or they had a sticker maybe?Yeah, it was on the megaphone, and so, you know, they're like, well, I don't know,this was the mic that was there.Right wing, we are right-wing activists.Yeah, this was what we had, man.I don't know what to tell you.I searched megaphone on Amazon,and it was the first one that came up.
07:25It was Amazon's first choice.There was a person there with a speakerphone,which we used because we didn't have one ourselves.So that's about the extent of the relationship,Robbie Catter told the ABC.Just borrowed the SS microphones.This is insane.Yeah, they rock.
07:43It's like, you didn't see that.on the side? Like most people would takethat, be like, oh, I shouldn't. You know what, man?I'm going to find a better. I'm going to find a different microphone,yeah. Yeah, it sounds like you're like, looks like you'reholding like the main bit of the microphonemanually, so people can't see the SS.All I can do is sort of state indifference to it
08:01because any perceived association was donethrough ignorance, and we felt it was importantthat we were there and had some control over therally. So Bob Catter, if youtalk to any Australian, is a colorfuland complex figure in Australian politics.Some positive aspects include his involvement in promoting labor unions and his focus on community.Negatives include an insane drift into racism and anti-immigration obsessions.
08:24Whenever I spoke to Australians about Catter, they brought up this incredible clip about same-sex marriage that was recorded in 2018.I mean, you know, people are entitled to their sexual proclimities.You know, I mean, let there be a thousand blossoms, blooms, as far as I'm concerned.But I ain't spend it any time on it, because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland.I love that you could really see him change gears, like, mid-sentence, when he was like, he was like, I don't fucking care I guess it, but I'm not really going to spend any more time talking about it.It's beautiful that an Australian almost went an entire sentence without thinking about dangerous wildlife.Yeah.You've been listening to a sample of a premium episode of the QAA podcast.
