Conservatives are at war with 'leftwing globalists,' Australian senator tells CPAC London event

National Party Senator Bridget McKenzie has declared that conservatives are engaged in a "war" against "leftwing globalists," mass immigration, and "woke" institutions. Speaking at the inaugural CPAC GB conference in London, a British offshoot of the US Conservative Political Action Conference, McKenzie urged right-wing movements worldwide to unite and fight back.

“

If you love your country and respect your past and want to build a future for your children, I believe you shouldn’t be apologising for discriminating about who can come and live in your country, not on race, but on values.

Mckenzie's speech focused on Australia's immigration policies, arguing for more selective intake. She stated that Australia should not apologize for discriminating based on values, not race, and that those who believe Sharia law is superior to Australian law are not welcome. She framed these issues as part of a global ideological struggle against "leftwing globalists" who, she claimed, are well-funded and relentless in undermining "British heritage."

"We are in a war and we have to stand together and fight," McKenzie declared, calling for bravery in public discourse. She also asserted that Australia had become the "most woke" country in the Anglosphere and that successive governments had weakened national sovereignty through high immigration levels, net-zero policies, and decisions made by unelected bodies.

“

If you believe sharia laws are superior to the laws that my great country inherited from yours, then I’m afraid Australia is not the place for you.

The conference, organized by former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, also featured One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. McKenzie's remarks have drawn criticism during her British tour.

We need to be brave in our public conversations … The people need leaders who are brave enough to face the enemy, strong enough to fight them, and in the end, we will defeat them.
