Every now and then someone says out loud what millions are thinking but feel pressured not to voice. This week, Rowan Dean did exactly that.
In his Sky News monologue, “It’s Time To Say Enough Is Enough,” Dean gives voice to a growing, simmering frustration felt by many Australians — not anger for its own sake, but exhaustion. Exhaustion with being told that the country you were born into, contributed to, paid taxes for, and loved somehow no longer belongs to you. Exhaustion with being lectured, shamed, and silenced for holding views that were once entirely uncontroversial.
Dean’s message isn’t subtle, and it isn’t meant to be. He speaks about the steady erosion of everyday Australian culture — the easy camaraderie, the larrikin spirit, the freedom to speak plainly without fear of professional or social punishment. He calls out the relentless indoctrination in schools and universities, where young Australians are taught to despise their own history and heritage rather than understand it honestly.
He rails against the hypocrisy of elites who preach tolerance while showing nothing but contempt for ordinary Australians. Against councils and institutions obsessed with symbolism while basic services deteriorate. Against mass immigration policies that demand cultural surrender in the name of “multiculturalism,” while insisting that long-standing Australian norms are somehow offensive or obsolete.
Most of all, Dean rejects the idea that free speech must be sacrificed for “social cohesion” — a trade-off no Australian ever agreed to. When did speaking your mind become an act of rebellion? When did loving your country become something that required an apology?
You don’t have to agree with every line Rowan Dean delivers to recognise the truth at the heart of his argument: a society that constantly tells its own people to sit down, shut up, and feel ashamed will eventually hear a collective response.
Enough.
The full video is well worth watching — not because it’s polite or carefully calibrated, but because it’s raw, honest, and reflective of a mood that Australia’s political and cultural class continues to ignore at its peril.
