Subhead:‘Start…small’: A socialist activist admits the strategy behind the so-called kids’ rally is ideological grooming, getting children into left-wing politics early, before they even understand what they are protesting.#

A conversation with one socialist activist at Melbourne’s so-called “kids’ rally” against Pauline Hanson laid the agenda bare.
There was light banter and a few personal jabs. Then she became candid. She was “glad that we’ve got the next generation coming up with left-wing ideas.” This was not an adult simply accompanying children. She was celebrating their political direction. Which may seem harmless, until you hear what she had to say next.

I told her that most of the kids I had spoken to were either there for fun or could not identify a Pauline Hanson policy they opposed. Rather than seeing that as a problem, she welcomed it, saying it “goes to show the age and stage that they’re at”.
When I pointed out that these children were skipping school to protest an issue they knew little about, she said they “will know more about it” and that “you start at a small level”. When I asked whether they should protest after they understood the issue, her answer was blunt: “No, because then you’ve waited too long.”
There it is.
Protect Avi Yemini
Avi Yemini puts himself on the front lines to bring you the truth — no matter the cost. His fearless journalism has exposed corruption, held the powerful accountable, and given a voice to the voiceless. But that commitment comes at a price. Avi has become a top target for radical activists, Antifa extremists, and even jihadi extremists who want him silenced. He’s faced harassment, doxxing attempts, and violent threats — all for doing his job. But despite it all, Avi refuses to back down. He continues to report the truth, uncensored and unafraid.
The goal is not for children to examine competing arguments and then decide. It is to pull them into activism first, with understanding coming later.
That is why the language of political grooming fits. Adults are introducing children to a movement, encouraging them to adopt its ideas, and normalising street activism before many grasp what they are protesting.
