Protesters?
Night started as we crossed the bridge from the city to the bus station looking for the protesters. (Perth exhibition center) Having been following the facebook page of their public protest all day and looking forward to seeing who would show up and all. Its was about 7:15pm and was still a bit of sun ligh, we could see a massive line inside the exhibition center but not a sole outside. As we got closer it was clear the line must have been for the Milo event so we wandered to the back of the line as a couple of us ran off in search of the Protesters but came back reporting non were to be seen.
Now on the other hand the line of people waiting to get in was huge any protest would have been dwarfed on any level by the number of people going to the show. A guess to the number of people would have been 2 thousand but it’s impossible to tell (pics exist)The Audience
As soon as we lined up it was clear the mix of people in the line was a quite varied or as I would like to think a standard variety of Perth locals. True there was no stand out group of asian looking kids brown indians or porcelain skinned Koreans I guess it would be safe to assume there were a couple in there with the large number of people. Age wise I think it was the full spectrum, Couples in the 60s plenty of 30-40 years old (probaly %60 of the crowd) and the rest all in that 18-25 range where you look like an obvious kid. We did note one extremely liberal or liberation had their two 8-10 year old kids in pajamas with him on the way out. (im sure they had no idea what was going on the entire time). Crowd was your standard affair, couple of people trying their luck at yelling witty remarks at the stage to get Milo to bite and plenty of cheering a good couple of standing ovations. Everyone there wanted to hear Milo speak and it may well have got messy if anything had tried to interrupt the event.Andrew Bolt
Australia’s number one conservative tv show personality (arguably) was definitely no disappointment. Bolt opened the show with some stories of his free speech issues and examples of the loony left. One big thing of note was a test with the audience where he simply asks for a reaction to a name and says Malcolm Turnbull (to a wall of boo’s) then a says Tony Abbot (to cheers but not that many). Bolt said he will be using this news on his week night tv show and radio for the coming weeks he also had done this at the South Australia show. After a quite long intro he called to the stage the President of Penthouse magazine who gave a thankfully short but too long little talk plugging how great Penthouse is (no surprise). Then Milo did his show. At the end of Milo’s 1 hour show both Bold and Milo sat down and had an Q&A that appeared quite authentic and with plenty of humour and good points. Surprisingly some good little jabs at the left from Bolt that were quite funny.Milo
As for the main guts of the show I doubt I can do justice in repeating anything he said without making the show sound quite dull so I’ll just comment of the crowds reaction I can only sugest you go watch some Milo on youtube to find out who he is and what his show entails (basically stand up comic routine). Milo’s show being very USA centric you might have thought he would have cut and past on of his talks from a topic in the US and just throw in some Aussie jokes but from the ground up you could see the show was written for the Aussie audience with some Perth stuff thrown in. Mark Mcgowan got a good drubbing from both Bolt then Milo, Milo thanking him for the new $30k spa his going to build on his roof from all the extra ticket sales. The crowd loved the show and I think everyone (everyone that knew what was going on) was in fierce agreement with all of Milo’s lines. A lot of name drops and topic brought up by Bolt and Milo might have gone well over the head of anyone that doesn’t watch Sky News late night shows or a health dose of USA fox news.10/10 would bang
If anyone would care to add to this below we should have a good rundown of the night’s events for everyone to read. And by chance my mangled english is of any use please just take what I have done and edit it into something more intelligible and reuse it.

No one was drunk. No one yelled out really racist or sexist stuff. There were awkward silences from large parts of the audience around certain jokes (eg refuges deaths) which seems to prove the crowd was not a mob and was still thinking things through. All and all Perth seems to have a healthy scene of Free Speech lovers who can get together without being anti-social.
There was a Part where Milo talked about this being the Battle for Western Civilisation. Many people were nodding their heads and seemed to understand this and believe it. That was excellent and proves that there are still those with a will to fight. Milo thinks Australia will have to be a major player in the West’s defense but that we are capable of winning.
The other take away point was that the protesters were weak. They were there but I didn’t see them (I’ve since seen the pictures on FB). I’ve seen them out in force for protests against Rise-Up Australia in years gone by but they couldn’t put anything together here. Either they don’t exist or they don’t really have any issue with free speech/Milo.
The show was okay, but the feeling of hope is better.

Complete agreement, AL.
I enjoyed the show from an entertainment perspective (though my Christian sensibilities were offended at times).
But there’s something about Milo I don’t trust. I don’t know what his agenda is but I don’t buy that its merely about free speech. It appeared to me that he had his ‘adoring and worshipful fans’ which I found disconcerting. Such people will go along with whatever he says without critiquing it.But yes, the feeling of hope was the main thing. There are people out there who think like us! Same with Trump: can we trust him? Maybe, maybe not. But regardless of whether Trump ends up being true or not, MAGA was and is REAL.

If you can the footy club mentally crowd on your side plus keep the self proclaimed serious political followers (looking in the mirror)on side then we have hope that numbers might swing back our way at some point.
Like you said the hope is definitely a reason to keep going down the path were on.Anonymous

Those that defend western civilisation vs those that wish to atone for its supposed sins.
Or
Those that see whiteness as either good or indifferent vs those that despise whiteness
