An anti-woke US commentator has jokingly suggested Australia should be invaded and returned to its roots as a penal colony.
Matt Walsh's tongue-in-cheek comments come in the wake of several news articles after he labelled Australia 'the weakest, wokest, lamest country on Earth'.
The political activist initially commented on the reality survival program Alone Australia, which he described as 'unintentionally the funniest thing on TV'.
He called out producers and claimed they did not choose 'gritty, skilled, survivalists' as contestants, suggesting they prioritised political correctness over these qualities.
Now, apparently baffled by the Australian media interest in his deliberately provocative comments, Walsh has suggested the country should be invaded by the US.
'I think Australia needs to be invaded,' Walsh said.
'For its own sake we need to invade Australia and conquer it, and based on what I've seen that will only take about three or four hours.'
The provocateur, who shot to fame with his documentary What is a Woman, which attacked the transgender community, suggested that American troops 'round up all the woke, lame Australians and drive them inland to the interior'.
'We'll set up a reservation for them where they can live and the cool Australians will be liberated and we'll send them to go and live on New Zealand, which is basically Australia but colder,' he added.
Walsh then suggested Australia be returned to its 'roots'.
'We convert it back to a prison colony and we'll start shipping our prisoners to Australia,' he said.
'Because that was Australia's heyday, that was Australia in its prime. When you had shiploads of criminals, you'd drop them off on the shore of Australia and just say, "Good luck. We'll see you never".
Walsh added: 'We'll destroy all the cities. I'm not advocating that we harm anybody, we'll clear everybody out first. Send the woke ones to reservations in the desert, ship the other ones to New Zealand, and we start sending our prisoners there.
'That's my plan. That's how we fix this thing. I care about Australia so much I'm willing for it to be conquered in order to fix it.
'And the great thing is that we all know, based on recent history, that when America conquers a country, it fixes everything. It makes everything better.'

Walsh said he had previously been a fan of Australia.
'I say this as someone who, again, always liked Australia, at least from afar,' he said.
'I was a big fan of Steve Irwin, I love the bloomin' onion from Outback Steakhouse so I know a lot about Australian culture, I'm really steeped in Australian culture and that's why it pains me to see what it has become.'
During the pandemic, Walsh was critical of Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates, which were strictly imposed across Australia.
