A fast, clear walkthrough of the “Cooker Wars” timeline, from a viral march brand to four competing groups, collapsing turnouts, and a movement that sells outrage without outcomes. We map the players, the optics problem, and why economic pain makes people vulnerable to grifters.

• Gaza protest optics triggering a copycat “March for Australia” wave
• NSN claiming involvement and the credibility collapse that followed
• Monica Smith’s rebrand to Put Australia First and calls for sponsorship
• Infighting over footage, branding, and who gets the microphone
• August march fiasco and Nazi presence damaging legitimacy
• October “do‑over” with an 85% attendance drop
• Fragmentation into Australia Marches and Save Australia
• Monetising outrage through flags, EMF gear, and funnels
• The missing policy: housing, migration skills, construction capacity
• How to keep perspective and resist conspiracy pipelines
