The Brisbane Broncos chairman Karl Morris, Sam Kennard of Kennards Storage and Marcus Blackmore of Blackmores vitamins all contributed in 2022.Mr Fenwick is the largest known donor to Advance Australia, which is behind the Fair Australia campaign. "He rails very powerfully against what he considers to be the cultural Marxism that's underpinning Australian politics. He talks about brainwashing, identity politics, he rails against climate change."
While Advance Australia did not endorse these rallies, Dr Roose argues the group has a number of interests in common with the Freedom Movement, including an opposition to trans activists and climate change denial.Advance Australia in December posted a meme suggesting both climate change and COVID-19 were tools used by a political class to accumulate power and take money from ordinary people.
