💰🏳️🌈 Multicultural funding in Victoria has become a political hostage negotiation: take the rainbow flag or take nothing. The Victorian Government’s latest “multicultural funding” round doesn’t hide the terms:
📜 “Applicants should consider the diverse needs of… women, seniors, LGBTIQA+ people, youth, and children.” (full PDF guidelines)
🔍 Translation: bow to progressive sexual orthodoxy or kiss the grant goodbye.
🚨 This is not manipulation in the shadows. It is coercion in broad daylight. This is hard power turned inward, with no covert influence and no hidden strings. The mechanism is so blunt it almost looks “soft”: the velvet glove hides an iron fist, and the whip is your own treasury.
🪷 Centuries of Confucian filial piety, Christian marriage, and migrant self-sacrifice are run through a Department of Equality blender until nothing remains but alphabet soup slogans. This is not funding culture; it’s purchasing conversion.
🇨🇳 Chinese Australians must say no. Every ancestor who slept three to a bedroom under kerosene lamps will applaud.
⚙️ The model:
1️⃣ Define “inclusivity” as ideology.
2️⃣ Make it a funding condition.
3️⃣ Watch communities re-script themselves to qualify.
❌ This isn’t cultural exchange. It’s cultural replacement, paid for by the communities being transformed. Once it is normalised here, no organisation dependent on grants will be safe from the checklist.
