Author Douglas Murray has praised Australia, saying there is a lot the country has “done well” and there is a “reason that the boats come to Australia”.

“If in Australia the whole narrative is just, as you say, genocide yesterday, genocide today, genocide tomorrow, of course, people aren’t going to be brought up to be proud of their country, and of course, they aren’t going to see the good things,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“I would just beg the people who fall into that narrative … to go somewhere else in the world, just for a week, and see the comparative rights that you have in any other country in this region.

“There’s a reason that the boats come to Australia, and they do not leave from Australia to other places.

“There is a reason.

“Why is it if this country is as bad as these people … say, why are people not fleeing Melbourne today; why is this city booming; why are people not fleeing here for the sanctuary of Communist China?

“There must be something you’ve done well in Australia – I think there’s a lot you’ve done well.”

    Maybe not in the media, but out on the streets, Aussies are still people that say it like it is, people that don't like BS, people that will help anyone they trust & respect, they remain my fav people :)

    The majority of young men in UK were not born in Britain. Why would they fight and possibly die when they can just hop another boat to another country that will house, feed and look after them like mama?

    YES!It sold out immediately it was released. So many of us couldn’t see him. Very sad. Please come back and have a bigger venue.

    I was lucky enough to hear and see Douglas Murray speak in Sydney on Sunday evening. He was brilliant and speaks the truth and common sense that seems to be severely lacking in today's society.

    I was a victim of domestic violence here in Australia and l had cancelling about ir and l learned from it to move on! So here l am 25 years later living prosperous and happy life because l don't consider myself as a victim but as a winner!

    5:47 Why are people not fleeing Melbourne or Victoria? Because people can't afford the cost to sell up and move.

    I had a very happy ten years in Oz in the 80's. Looking at what it is today concerns me.
