Dear friends,

Rise Up Australia Party took to the streets of Dandenong yesterday to campaign for the upcoming Victoria State Election. Around 30-40 party members were wearing RUA Party T-shirts, led by National President Daniel Nalliah, who is also the Upper House Lead Candidate for South East Metropolitan Victoria

Rosalie Crestani the Second Upper House Candidate for the region, who is also a Councillor from the city of Casey, along with Lord Christopher Monckton, a former adviser to former PM Margret Thatcher, also joined in the campaign.

Dandenong in Victoria, which is one of the most Multi-Ethnic cities in the world and has a very large population of Muslims, was handpicked for this campaign to speak to people about the importance of keeping Australia Australian and to call on people to integrate into Australian way of life and culture.

As the RUAP team spoke to people one on one and shared the party policy principles, the response from the general public was overwhelmingly positive. Almost everyone received the party brochures, and many stopped to learn more about RUAP.

When asked whether they agreed to Islamic Sharia Law, almost every one responded NO. Even some Muslims said, “We left our country because of Sharia Law. We don’t want it here.” When asked what they thought of the burqa, most people said that they did not approve of the face being fully covered.

Mr Nalliah interviewed one Muslim man. You may click the link below to watch  what he had to say. It was very interesting.

Make sure to read the comments which are almost all in support of RUAP.

The campaign was very fruitful and exciting as many people are very unhappy with both major parties and are looking to vote for the minor parties in this election.

Mr Nalliah stated, “It is always the minority which makes it hard for the rest. Most Muslims I spoke to were totally against the face veil or better known as the burqa. In fact many of them supported the burqa ban. One needs to ask the question, ‘What form of Islam does the ICV follow’??

Many Muslims in Australia want to live a peaceful life and not follow the Koran to the letter, but a few who want to follow their prophet Mohammed’s lifestyle and the Koran to the letter, making it hard for the rest. We need an uprising amongst the moderate Muslims against the Islamic Fundamentalist voices and action.

So many people came up to me to say how frustrated they were with both major parties and the Greens, expressing their appreciation to us for standing up for Australia. This was so encouraging.

We are determine to break down political correctness. We will fight to Keep Australia Australian.”
