Avi Yemini and Nick Patterson expose how Victoria’s COVID lockdowns weaponized police—midnight raids, 22 officers at a gym, and four prosecutions—yet failed to provide scientific affidavits, revealing systemic corruption. Patterson’s legal battles, including a $350K cost refusal after police misconduct, aim to dismantle oppressive narratives through Peacemaker Equity and the Living Free Movement. From anti-Semitic protests to e-safety commissioner attacks on free speech, their fight highlights democracy’s fragility when institutions prioritize power over truth. [Automatically generated summary]

Welcome back to the Yamini Report, where we talk to important people doing important things.
And there's no one more important than the guest tonight, especially during the COVID era.
And many of you would know him.
We've done many stories with him over that period throughout his journey in fighting back against the overreaching state and winning against all odds.
But this time we're going to sit with him for a good 40, 45 minutes and chat about more than just what happened during COVID.
Nick, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me, mate.
It's always awesome to hang out with you, mate, and have a chat.
Look, we've hung out a lot, haven't we, over the period of what year is it now?
I'm getting lost.
We're talking about since 2020.
So over the last five years, I probably can't count exactly how many stories we've done.
I think there's probably up around 20 stories we've done on you.
All of them have been short.
And I just really wanted to, especially after the news that broke that the Victorian government lost its bid to keep the lockdown briefings secret.
And as soon as I heard that news, I thought, you know who I want to talk to about that?
And about what he's doing generally is Nick Patterson.
Because for those that don't remember, let us know your story.
What happened during COVID to you?
Publicly Defying Lockdowns00:16:12
Well, to sum it up briefly, when the lockdowns occurred, I kept my gym open and I was very public and very bold about it.
A lot of people did keep their businesses open on the down low.
I did the opposite.
I was trying to invoke some confidence in the people to all just publicly open up, stay open and civilly disobey the government.
And as a result of that, I had police come to my gym when we filmed it.
And these videos that we did became viral videos, like proper viral videos.
Then we had, so we had two police come, then we had 22 police and the DHHS officer came.
Then we had 18 police cars and channel 7.
Then we had police cars stopping at the front of my gym to stop people coming in.
They weren't actually stopping people.
They were just parking out the front to scare people off from coming into the gym.
Then they started coming to my house at about midnight, one o'clock in the morning, consistently.
And that I knew was just intimidation.
So I got to experience something that most people don't experience in their life, where you actually go against the government, you realize that the police have been weaponized against anyone who opposes the government.
And obviously we have a lot of power as individuals if we're on social media, because I was getting a lot of traction on social media and people were seeing what I was doing.
A lot of people were being sort of inspired to stand up for themselves and to go against the mandates, which, as we know, you know, through painful experience, the um, there was no evidence um, like legitimate evidence for them to um even um, you know, establish any of the lockdowns or any legal basis, any lawful basis, any legitimate basis.
There was nothing.
Uh, we've had people have had to go to court uh, they've had to run their cases bit by bit.
We've been able to discover, through the process of disclosure and um flys, that there was nothing.
It just they just did it to us.
Yeah well, and you know it's one of the reasons is everybody fought so hard, including you, to be able to force the government into disclosing that and until now, so five years on, until now there's there hasn't been such a win.
Now they are going to be forced to release and I dare say, based on, you know, my intimate involvement in so many cases where I know how hard they worked to avoid having to show any evidence of um, of the briefings, exactly what was supplied as uh scientific evidence, I dare say there's not going to be anything really in there and and and that's what, that's what the government wanted to hide,
and that's what people are going to realize.
They were taken for such a ride.
And i'm talking about people, i'm talking about those that you know looked at someone like you and even me as um, as evil at the time.
We were the ones, you even more so me.
I I got away with the the point that I was just doing my job.
You were blatantly breaching the rules, encouraging others at the time it was called incitement inciting other others to breach the rules that were based on nothing and you were saying that at the time.
You were getting condemned by that and much.
You know a big proportion of the of the public back then.
I know many people today are pretending like they weren't in support of it, but at the time a big proportion of the public including, by the way, the man behind this UM lawsuit, which is uh, the Liberal Party uh Davidson, or whatever his name is he was a big supporter of the government's behavior back at the time.
But you know, obviously now they realize how unpopular all of that was.
You're going to be vindicated and, by extension, i'll be vindicated, but you, especially somebody who's fought it, I i'd say so.
We don't know, we haven't seen the evidence, but I dare say that the government wouldn't have fought so hard to hide it in all our cases and in this specific case, if they were, if it really, if there was something really there that backed up their lockdowns.
Yeah no I, I agree.
So I obviously the big issue.
I think, for the whole, the reason the whole pandemic happened the way it did was because there was a lack of courage and confidence.
But do you think, do you think it was beyond that though?
Do you think, but I agree with you, I think there was a lack of courage by people.
You know, like I would go to many places and people would quietly go oh Avi, thanks so much for standing up for doing it But they wouldn't, you know, I'm not going to do it.
I can't afford to do it.
I've got to, I've got work.
I've got this and that.
And I guess, you know, the imagery, seeing videos night after night where Victoria police were kicking indoors, that was working, you know, having police cars outside of the gym.
That was working.
But I think a lot of people were also, it took them a long time to realize they were being taken for a bit of a ride.
Yeah, but the narrative breaks down, Avi, when there's more and more people standing against it and being public about it, then people become encouraged on the other side and they go, you know what, maybe it's okay to look into this and actually use my brain and critical thinking.
Once people start to do that, they start to realize, hey, there's a lot of problems here in this narrative.
Then quickly the narrative breaks.
And when the narrative breaks, then they can't, you know, the governments and the big institutions that are pushing the agenda can't get people to man all the posts to keep the agenda going.
And we saw that when, because we ran those massive rallies, like I was one of the people, there was a whole group of us that were running the big rallies in the city.
And it was every week we're doing this and we were getting huge numbers of people.
And that I think was the catalyst for the narrative going from this way, like going on this trajectory up.
And then it just started to flatten out and go the other way.
And once that starts to flatten out, people start to become more encouraged.
And then we saw police leaving, the police force.
And they were record numbers of police leaving.
Now, if the police aren't there to enforce all of the directions, then what happens to the agenda?
Well, that doesn't exist anymore.
And then we had heaps of police officers that were just on sick leave, stress leave, and just leaving altogether.
A good friend of mine, he used to be in the fraud squad.
He said to me that he joined the police force because he wanted to get bad guys.
And then he realized that he was actually one of them.
And that's why he left.
Obviously, he's a man of faith and he's got principles.
But that's the point is principles, right?
So you had these people that would say to you, and I'd say it to me as well, but on you, look, I've just, I can't, I can't go out there and, you know, I've got too much to lose and all the rest of it.
I'm scared that I'm going to lose my job.
So it's about where their principles and values are.
So my values were such that money and my position, my status didn't really matter.
The truth was more important.
So I valued the truth more than all the other things.
But a lot of people who might claim to value the truth, which is a Christian ethos there, it literally is the truth is the foundation.
It is the number one thing that you have to have.
You've got to have the truth because there's nothing else.
There's nothing else that can exist.
You can't have courage without the truth.
You've got to have a foundation, which is the truth by which you can believe that you can accomplish the things that you want to accomplish.
But I just saw there was a real lack of that.
And that was what was really disheartening for me.
But through the process, I saw more and more people start become encouraged.
And I realized this is more of like a ministry work by standing up for myself and being very public about it, which you really helped me to do that because you were able to get my message out and my story out to millions of people.
By doing that, a lot of people were encouraged.
And then they made that decision, that moral decision within themselves to do what they knew was right and stand on those true principles and make them number one.
So there was good, there was all these bad things that happened, but I think those bad things were only part of the story.
There's also all this good stuff that happened, which was people becoming stronger and encouraged and people realizing what the government really is.
And it's just an oppressive force now that wants to regulate everything that we do and take everything from us so that we basically have an early death and we're taxed into oblivion and we can't really own a house or accomplish anything that we could a couple of decades ago.
And people are realizing that now and realizing that they don't represent us.
Obviously, we know this, but there's a lot of people that were a long way from that.
Now they're starting to open their minds up and they're realizing the government's not for us.
So we need to be for us.
And then it's the next part in this journey is what can we do with the power that we have?
And I always say that the power that we have is really our ability to speak and inspire people with the truth, which is interesting because we're seeing all of this legislation being passed or attempted to be passed, which restricts speech, which is the proof that that's the most powerful weapon that you have, which is why I was targeted by the police as well, because I was exposing the lies.
I was just looking up while you were talking there.
I was just trying to find it.
I know that recently, I just can't remember when because it's all kind of blending into one.
But I remember recently, it must have been super recently when Patton was essentially kicked out.
But there was an internal memo that I got a hold of and we published.
And it confirms what you're saying now, that police were leaving in record numbers, specifically because of what the government, well, this was an internal memo between cops, but they were basically, they were blaming the government for essentially making the police enforce all these laws,
which made them, or all the restrictions, which made them super unpopular.
Now, I disagree with the framing of that, but it definitely confirms what you're saying.
A lot of cops left or, you know, were left out and they're struggling to rehire because of what they did during COVID.
Because they're blaming the government, but many of us would also blame police command.
And then even some cops on the beat.
I know through that period, there were some cops that, you know, they would come proudly and tell me I've never issued one single COVID infringement at all.
I'm there to avoid that stuff.
I don't care.
And then there were cops that we saw that were reveling in the extra brutal powers that they thought they currently had.
Yeah, I've met loads of police officers, many of which have been at events where I've been speaking.
And they've come up to me and said, I used to be a police officer.
And then they've said that you're a big part in my decision to leave because they realized what they were working for.
And that's the problem with such a complex, compartmentalized bureaucracy running everything.
All these people that are making decisions, no one's making a clear decision on something.
It's like they make part of a decision.
The next part of the bureaucracy makes the next part of the decision, the next part of the decision.
Who's making the actual whole decision and seeing the forest for the trees?
Well, they told us it was all scientifically based.
It was advice given to the government that they can't share with anyone.
And they fought tooth and nail to ensure that no one gets to see it.
So listen to this.
I don't know.
I've told you this before.
I'm sure I have.
So my big case, because I was prosecuted four times and I beat them four times, but one of those was a big case where they put me in jail and all the rest of it.
And you've covered all of that before.
Was being prosecuted, we ran a collateral challenge to the state of emergency in which the um, the prosecution, agreed to um to provide a um an affidavit with all of this, that which establishes and explains the scientific basis for the lockdowns.
Now, we knew there was no scientific basis for it, because anyone that has um an objective mind that puts the time and effort in to look into these things would realize there's no basis for it at all.
Well we um, we were told for about six months that that these an affidavit from Brett Sutton, the um, the chief health officer, and Genie Mccarcos, the health minister, would be provided.
And then, six months in we, we were in a hearing with the um, with the judge, and we just said, look, we want to, we want you to order, make an order that they provide this material.
And what the judge did is she ordered everything that was outstanding, including that, and it was meant to be provided on the 15th of january.
That date came, we received nothing.
We emailed them nothing.
We emailed them for weeks later.
Nothing, we didn't, they didn't respond to us.
This is the government right, the government agencies.
They just ignore you if they don't want to talk to you.
And then, about four months later, they provided us with a certificate that had nothing in it.
They were ordered to provide an affidavit so that we can cross-examine them in court, and they provided some sort of certificate which contained a nothing.
So this is, and?
And they weren't held um, um in contempt for failing to provide what they were ordered to provide.
So you can see, the whole system is against the little guy.
It's like a David And Goliath battle to get any equity or any justice or any fairness.
Um, and it's, and it really is that it really is that bad.
But you don't realize it's that bad because obviously we think everything's, operating the way it should.
There's these rules they call the model litigant, rules that all these government officials have to abide by and adhere to, but they don't.
And then you realize that well okay well, I want to, i'm going to compel them to to be model litigants according to the rules, but there's no teeth to that, so they can just ignore it and there's no penalty for them in not doing that.
Um, and that was my experience across the board 100, and i've never had that experience before.
I've never known anyone with these kinds of experiences with the police, but then I haven't known people that have been um promoting any idea or any um narrative that is in opposition to the government, the way I was and others were, and then I realized all of us are getting targeted by the police um, because we're not going along with something that is an obvious lie.
But it that the only sad part about it?
Because I kind of I look at it and I think this is it was a good experience for growth um, as much as it was really really hard and it was completely immoral.
But it actually woke me up to the reality of what this world is and how it operates, like how the, the government institutions operate and how corrupt they and disgustingly corrupt They really aren't.
I mean, I don't know how to, I don't have the words to emphasize what I really think about those government institutions.
I think that, like, the DPP, who were commencing all these prosecutions against people for literally just doing Facebook posts and speaking out against the lies for speaking the truth, they were just targeted, locked up, put in jail, pregnant women being put in jail.
It was complete to nonsense.
Meta's Dictation Problem00:05:55
And I think that that is ample grounds for people to just make that moral decision that I don't respect the government.
I'm not going to follow any of their rules anymore.
I'm only going to follow the moral ones.
It's actually a good friend of mine, Dave.
He said, he said at a rally once when we were this big rally and we spoke to the police liaison.
We got these police officers that come up.
They're usually very friendly police.
And they talk to the rally, the rally organizers.
And they said, we just want to make sure that you adhere to the laws and don't break any of the rules.
And my mate, Dave, he made me so proud.
He just said, he said, we don't care about your rules.
And he pointed to the sky and he's like, we only care about his laws.
That's it.
Meaning, we only care about the moral rules.
We don't care about your rules.
And also, the reason that I was kicked off basically all social media.
Do you know why it was?
Do you actually know what it was?
I was, okay, I'll tell you.
It was because there was a number of things that I was explaining to people.
I've worked it out now.
I was sharing some research from a friend of mine named Darren Dixon.
He's got a website called Constitution Watch, and it's just brilliant, right?
All this really, really good legal research.
And I was explaining that the human rights charter wasn't suspended like the government had told us it was because they have to have a declaration to override a declaration in parliament to override the human rights charter.
And that never happened.
And then I was explaining that police constables can't be directed by the government because their own police act says they can't.
And then I, and it says in section 51, listen to this, that a police officer has independent authority over their office and that they cannot be directed by the government or senior police.
Now, that's from the LexisNexis legal dictionary for constable, but that's the Australian legal dictionary that has all the sections of the legislation and case law for what a constable is.
And the police act refers to that section.
So I'm reading this section.
I'm thinking, well, hang on.
How can the police be enforcing government directions when the definition of police constable that we use in our courts says they can't be directed by the government or enforce government directions?
And then I looked at a case.
There's a case in there that's cited, which is R versus Commissioner of the Police Metropolis, ex parte.
It was a UK case.
It's been cited over here numerous times.
And in that case, it was determined that police can't be directed to do anything by the government other than provide a report.
So I was sharing this information because that's powerful information to completely break the narrative, especially if it gets into the minds of the police officers who are enforcing all the madness, right?
Once they start realizing that they're actually not allowed to enforce this stuff, it's against the law, it's against the case law.
It's called acting under dictation.
That's how you create a dictatorship.
And very quickly after that, social media just banned me everywhere.
Across everywhere.
And it would be interesting to know because I'm sure that the government essentially pressured all social media.
And back then, they were pretty successful in encouraging social media to cancel people.
We saw from the Twitter files, governments, including the Australian government, was essentially telling, you know, ordering the old Twitter, but I'm sure Meta, all of them, you saw it happen across the board.
In fact, today we still see, do you know that in Australia, Australia is like the only place left that there is any fact, or one of the only places where there are any fact checkers still working in for Meta, where Meta's kicked everyone off, including Australia's own fact check.
I think they use an American AP, but they use AP here.
I don't know.
But basically, because of the e-safety commissioner here and the kind of overreaching powers they have, in Australia, there is while everyone else is starting to turn to the community notes, Meta's kind of capitulating at this point.
Who knows how long that's going to last?
Because X didn't capitulate.
X is in court, I think, at the end of this month in Australia, at the end of this month in Australia, taking on the e-safety commissioners.
I dare say whatever comes of that will guide what's happening into the future, whether it's with X or Meta.
Meta's shown lately that they want to turn things more into X because they can see that while their business is crumbling and falling, especially Facebook is starting to, you know, people who's on Facebook anymore.
It's, you know, it's dying out, whereas X is growing.
And so they realize that free speech actually works.
And just censoring everyone and everything doesn't actually work.
I guess what's your reaction to the fact that now they're going to be compelled to release the exact information that you fought so hard, but essentially failed because the courts wouldn't uphold their own ruling?
Well, I'm very hopeful.
I always try to be positive.
And I'm hopeful that we're going to get some of those nuggets that we need.
What do you think is going to?
I think it's going to show that there was no legitimate basis for it.
They didn't have the evidence.
I'm sure if we get to see it, it's going to show precisely that.
Might just be like two pages with not much written on there.
That'd be it because there was nothing.
Why Vaccines Won?00:04:57
It'll be like Brett.
It'll be Brett Sutton texting Dan.
Yeah, let's start tomorrow.
Yeah, I just want a big brown paper bag filled to the brim.
You know, that's, I'm sure that's how it all operates.
I can't confirm that.
That's just my opinion.
But that's how I think it all.
I don't know.
I'm sure there's plenty of brown paper bags that go around in the labor union circles.
The question is, for what?
And I don't know, Brett Sutton.
I don't see.
Yeah, I don't know.
But I am excited personally to see all that.
Why did you, why did you start?
Why did you start to rebel?
Because, you know, you were a successful gym owner who came from, you know, a professional fighting background.
It wasn't, you know, you kind of essentially crashed everything into the ground by fighting this.
It cost you your business, cost you your health.
I remember when I interviewed you right after you've been arrested for the now proven false arrest, but where you had your shoulder dislocated, you were jailed for a month.
Your family went through hell.
What compelled you to do it all?
And if you went back in time, would you do anything differently?
Yeah, if I went back in time, I would do things differently.
I would do them better.
I'd be more effective.
Would just be, I didn't know how to reach lots of people.
I didn't have any idea of social media.
If I was going to do it again and I knew I was going to do this again, I would, I would plan a little bit better to break the narrative down even more.
Yeah, the reason I did it was because I know that we're only on this earth for a short time.
Why waste it just trying to get if you if you're not willing to follow your principles and those moral spiritual things like courage and goodness, faith, all those things that are not objectively provable,
and if you're not willing to do that, but you're you're you're you're only driven to to keep your hold of the physical things that you have, well, then I think you're a slave because those physical things, you know, you come into the into this world naked with nothing, you're going to leave it naked with nothing except for those spiritual things.
So to me, it's just about principle.
If I know it's wrong, and I, and I, I wasn't like 50-50, I knew 100% this is just completely wrong.
Um, and I was researching a lot of the vaccine, um, vaccine uh patterns, and I, when the no jab, no play, no jab, no um pay um provisions came in, I thought we were going to have mandatory vaccines then.
And when I said that to people who all said I was a conspiracy theorist, most of which um have have reneged on that now and they think that I'm okay, didn't happen.
I thought, wow, I was wrong and I was willing to admit it.
And then when COVID happened, then I went, Oh, here it is.
This is it, they're gonna, they're gonna push, they're gonna mandate because I could see I was reading and I wasn't reading that much, but I was getting the right information from the US, from Europe, different articles that people were sharing on Telegram.
And I was reading these things, thinking, oh, look, why would they be investing all of their all of their money into vaccines?
And then I was looking at the mRNA and all these other types of technology.
And then they, you know, and then there was, you know, I was reading about how different scenarios to mandate vaccines and how they're trialing this in different places in different ways.
And I just, I just knew that that was what was going to happen.
And I guess that's that divine providence thing.
I sort of knew beforehand, this is where it's going to go.
So when it happened, I straight away knew I didn't have to think about it.
I just knew this is it.
And they're trying to hurt people.
And I thought we can beat them.
So this is my maybe my ignorance, but I'm hopeful.
So I believe that if we all stand together, we've actually got a lot of power.
But I discovered it's very hard to get a whole lot of people to stand together on anything because we can agree on 90% of everything, but we have that 10% that we disagree and we'll be divided on that 10%.
Well, it's been so divisive since I guess COVID.
Yeah, I'd say Australia is more divided than ever right now.
I was going to ask you, so, you know, to most people, COVID is almost ancient history.
Less so for people like you who have essentially kept fighting until and still fighting for justice for what happened back then.
But to the average person, it's ancient history.
Election Divide Live00:07:23
You're talking about four years ago, five years ago, whatever, they're moving on.
They don't realize that the cost of living crisis now is actually just the government-made cost of living crisis from what they put us through from the exact things we fought.
They don't connect the dots.
But what have you seen?
What have you been up to since then?
And what do you see happening?
I think there's been a lot of people who've made some deep, deep decisions in dark places where They've had to either look to those negative emotions or to the positive.
And see, like a lot of people that I've spent a lot of time with, I spent because I do ministry as well.
Lots of people who are looking, it's almost like some people realize we've sort of lost this idea that we had this false idea that we live in this great country and everything is really good.
It's not really anymore.
People can't afford to live.
There's homelessness, you know, suicides, family breakdowns, family courts breaking families up.
All of this, you know, Ivy, there's so many really destructive, I guess, strongholds over different people that they're suffering from.
Literally, just so you know, so a mate of mine is a group of us.
We've got a we've actually got a like a legal process that we're using.
And we're actually helping people that need legal help.
And like I was just catching up with my mate the other day and we're in, we just got some, we're at a restaurant eating and there's two people in there that I know.
One of them needs legal help and he's just getting, he's getting, you know, he's been put in a position where he hasn't seen his kids and he's stressed out.
He doesn't know what to do.
And you can see they don't have the money for the legal help because they don't have the money even to live.
He's living now with his brother.
They have to live together because they can't afford to live out, you know.
His legal bills are ridiculous.
And I know, I would know dozens of people who don't have access to their children because of IVO.
So that's just one of the many problems.
I know people that have drug problems and they're depressed.
I know people with financial problems and they're struggling as well to be able to pay their bills.
I know people that can't get a house to live in.
So this is all happening in this country where we literally have so much, so many resources.
I mean, I don't know if you've followed that Punter's Politics channel.
They do some really good, they share some really good research.
$149 billion of our natural gas has been given to foreign companies for almost nothing.
I won't say nothing, almost nothing, given away.
It's sold back to us for loads, but it's out, right?
It belongs to us and it's given away.
And the politicians that give it away go and work for those companies after they've given that away, right?
So this is all part of the problem.
It's a massive problem.
And I think the problem is just government because they're just stealing from it.
And until the people man up and decide to be willing to get into the fight and speak the truth, and speech is the biggest, most powerful weapon you have, explaining all of these variables and breaking down these false narratives as quickly as you can.
What happens is those people who are ignorant, who are basically working for those oppressors, end up becoming empowered with the knowledge to stand against the oppressors or they stop working for the oppressors.
And that's what needs to happen because I don't see any other solution.
What else is going to happen?
Are we going to get invaded by another country and everything changes?
I don't know.
But I like to be positive and think that we can break these narratives down and encourage people to do what is right and have that critical mass of people who are willing to just be empowered enough and firmly convicted enough to actually go out there and expose the lies and do the things.
And I'm not saying do anything criminal, but sometimes things need to be done that need to be done.
But do the things that need to be done to destroy the narrative.
It would be great if we had people in parliament or in the senate, people in the senate who literally could just say, like, let's say they passed a law that, and I'll give you an example.
You know, they might bring in a letterbox law, a letterbox tax, right?
Just for Eagles, right?
New legislation, all letterboxes are going to be taxed, you know, X, Y, and Z.
Well, imagine if you had a senator that said that letterbox law is completely invalid.
It's inconsistent with all of these other legislation.
So anybody who doesn't want to comply with it don't comply with it.
And like to encourage from the Senate, because they have parliamentary privilege as well, don't comply with it.
And just reach out to us and we can take this to the high court.
I mean, that would be one way.
It's a long, arduous way to deal with these situations, but that would be one way that I think we could empower people to stand up for themselves because there's one avenue.
Yeah, anyway.
What's your take on what's happening in the lead up to the election?
Obviously, it's still not announced, but there's an election around the corner.
What do you think is going to happen?
I really don't know.
But I really hope that these, there's a couple of alliances that have happened.
You've got the Trumpet Patriots and there's another alliance too, I think with the Libertarians and Renick's party and some others.
I think it would be really good if we can see more of that cohesion where they can work together on just basically encapsulating more of those votes and being able to, so it's not wasted.
They're working together rather than against each other.
Because you see what the left do is they get all the all those minor parties just and they're just working for for the major parties, right?
You're just collecting the collecting votes of preferences.
There's plenty of minor parties now.
If we all work together, we're able to get over our own.
They never do.
It never happens.
It won't.
I don't think it'll happen on the right.
It never seems to happen.
But it does seem to be happening more this time because you do have that.
So what do you think the outcome is going to be?
What do you think the outcome is going to be this?
I don't know.
I don't know because you've got the other elements there, which are the corrupt elements that we're not going to talk about.
I don't know how far that can go, how much is going to be invested in that.
I don't know.
Are you running this election?
Yeah.
I was originally.
We started a political party, but it's not going to be registered in time for the election.
And then I was going to run with GAP, but I've just, I'm overloaded.
I've got too much on.
I can't do it now.
Guys, Get Involved Like Bruce Is00:14:58
What are you up to these days?
Well, we've just started a professional advocacy organization, which we're going to be running through my Peacemaker Equity website.
And basically, we've got a way of helping people who have legal issues, human rights claims.
If they've got issues where they, let's say they've got to resolve an issue with the police, police torts, anything like that, they can reach out to us through peacemakerequity.com and just send us a message.
It's a much, much cheaper way of dealing with a lot of these sort of legal cases, which cost, you know, tens of thousands sometimes.
So we've got some people that work pro bono and we've got litigation funding.
So that's one thing that I'm doing.
And we've also got our living free movement where my friend Dave and I and Darren and there's a whole bunch of us where we're doing everything we can to empower people with the knowledge they need, like the legal knowledge, The knowledge, the personal empowerment knowledge, spiritual knowledge, all of those things that I think we're lacking in our community.
So we're doing a lot to help people in that regard.
And that's the livingfree movement.org.
And that's where most of my effort is right now.
Obviously, being a dad, having five young ones, homeschooling and working a couple of jobs.
But this is, you know, the meaningful things that we do often require us to do things that aren't as so meaningful, like just working the grind and working, you know, working with our hands on the tools.
And I know a lot of our viewers would, you know, they recognize you from the many stories we've run and followed your story closely, especially the major case in which you got locked up, like we said, and actually ended up winning.
Where are you with those cases?
Because I know we were talking about suing the police at the end of it.
Everyone wants to see justice at the end of the day when it comes to your matter.
What's going on with those cases?
Yeah, so I'm still trying.
So after my big case, I'm still trying to get the police to pay costs and they're refusing to pay my legal costs.
So that's about $350,000, just estimating the top of my head, about $350,000 to defend myself.
And the reason we had the whole legal team, as opposed to my other cases where I was self-represented, was because we needed to do a really good job with this one because it had so much potential to set a precedent.
And also, I just don't understand.
Well, yeah, they seriously injured me, and that's caused me to have to, you know, change, completely change my career.
So they're refusing to pay a cost.
So where are you?
Are you fighting that in court at the moment?
Yeah.
Yep.
I'm fighting that in court.
Somehow they think it's okay for them to not pay legal costs, even though they assaulted us, they lied on their statements, and they ran an abusive process.
And they had all of their evidence removed, deemed inadmissible because of the crime by which they initially caused the incident.
And then they've used that as evidence against us because the reaction was the evidence.
So it's just incredible to me.
It's probably the worst case of corruption of anyone that I know personally, where I've seen literally these people who know 100% they are completely wrong and that what they did was evil.
And they're still defending the lie and trying to mitigate any kind of liability on their part.
So I have that case going.
That keeps getting kicked down the road further and further.
And then I've got a civil case, which will be commencing very soon.
We started with a writ and then we're going to be going all out.
And the litigation is about to start there where we'll be suing the police for all of the wrongdoing.
And we're going to do our very best to potentially set a precedent and stick them from doing that in the future.
Oh, mate.
Well, as usual, we'll make sure to cover it closely because it is an issue that your story touched a lot of our viewers personally because these were people that were cheering you on the entire time from early days.
And we watched the injustice unfold and we saw you take the hits.
And every single time you got up again and kept fighting.
I reckon at Rebel, that's what we love most.
We see people like Tommy Robinson.
You're kind of the closest thing, I guess, in Australia, where jail doesn't actually deter you.
Where to most of us, jail is probably the scariest idea.
But yeah, so we'll follow it.
Where can people find you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was just going to say on that, you know, like I know people get scared and they get worried and concerned.
They might lose their business.
They might lose their, you know, their status.
They might lose money.
I've lost all of those things.
I lost my business for 12 years.
And but I always think back to that Bible verse where Jesus says in Luke chapter 12, he says, you know, it says, beware of covetousness and coveting.
A man's life consists not in the abundance of the things that he possesses.
Stuff doesn't matter.
It's what's in the spirit and in the heart.
And, you know, you'll never regret making heartfelt decisions that are based on truth and moral principles and the conscience, but I think you will regret, you know, making a cowardly decision to maintain and hold on to something that's physical that really isn't that valuable.
Is that what gets you through?
Yep.
100%.
Mate, where can people find you and follow your story and follow you on whatever socials that's still available?
Yeah, I'm still on Telegram.
I haven't been reactive on there, but I'm on Fight Crupp Police.
It's t.me forward slash fight crap police.
And on the Living Free Movement, I do regular webinars on there.
We do lawful educational webinars and we also.
Well, I need to get, I was on there.
I've just got to get back on there.
And that's the next step.
I just need some time.
But yeah, Living Free Movement.
And I do a biblical webinar every week as well on Saturdays.
So yeah, that's most of what I'm doing at the moment.
Mate, Nick, it's always a pleasure to see you and speak to you.
You certainly are someone that personally inspired me throughout some of the darkest days in Melbourne.
So we'll catch up to you with you on any updates with your cases.
But until then, guys, go give Nick a follow and follow his great work.
Thanks, mate.
I really appreciate it.
God bless.
Well, it's back to that time of the week where I go through some of your comments on our stories since last week.
I wasn't able to do it last week because we had some technical difficulties, but today I'll get in there and read your comments.
As a Rebel News Plus subscriber, you can comment on the point of this is to encourage people to comment more, get involved in the conversations to really create a community on the website.
So on the last story, anti-Israel thug hurls violent insult during Melbourne rally.
This was wild.
I posted this actually on X. He'll quickly play it.
You need a fucking pause for you.
I'm a fucking instrument fucking pig.
So essentially what happened there is he had a group, a small group of Jewish counter-protesters who rocked up at the Melbourne State Library to counter protest what was going to be the weekly, or now it's monthly, but I think they're going back to weekly anti-Israel pro-Hamas protests.
And you saw one man, he tries to push through a police line to get to him.
And then another one starts calling him racist pigs while shouting and basically telling him, you know, you deserve because they wouldn't let this Hamas loving thug through to attack the Jews.
He says that they deserve a Porsche through them on the Eastern Road, which he's referring to, where in 2020, four Victorian police members were killed when they pulled over a Porsche and a truck drove through them and killed him.
These are the kind of people that we're talking about.
Pro-Hamas, anti-Australia.
These guys are anti-Australia, not just anti-Israel, they're anti-Australia.
And Bruce, I love you.
Thanks for always commenting and getting involved in the conversations.
What do you say here?
These type of people are not a good fit for civilized countries.
Citizens have been betrayed by hard left, have been betrayed by hard left politicians who want to destroy our culture.
So let in these wrenches who hate our way of life and want to enslave us with Islam, learn from history where Islam goes, trouble goes, their land.
Their hand is against everybody.
All they know is how to hate.
Look, I think there is certainly something to that.
And I apologize that today I'm so dead tired that I can hardly read the comment, let alone comprehend it.
But no, I think there's some truth to that where you see big Islamic communities, extremism festers, and this is the kind of behavior you get.
You get, like I said, anti-Israel.
Fine, that's the first people first that come for the Saturday people, then they come for the Sunday people.
And they're the same groups that this guy, Imaginey, who's in this photo right here.
He is literally, he protests against Israel all year.
And on Australia Day, he protests against Australia.
So it makes my point for me.
Also, this week, we had the council banning the mayor over his anti-woke stances.
It's a completely insane story.
We spoke to him as he gathered outside the council.
We have Bruce here again.
Can't the state government step in and oust the woke CEO?
Misfiring minds need to know.
You know what?
They would if they weren't on the council's, if they didn't take the council's position.
They are on the council's side here for sure.
That's the whole point.
Aiden is very well known and hated by the Labour government.
I think we did a story once on him where there was a Labour minister or something when he was campaigning who was directly attacking him.
So I don't think the state government has the will to back Aiden up, but it is pretty insane that in a democracy, you have an elected mayor that's being banned from the council that he was elected to.
Good for you, Aiden Williams says.
Good for you, Aiden, standing up for the public and not trying to control the public.
I agree with that.
Then we have the story we were talking about earlier in the podcast today, where the Victorian government lost its bid to keep lockdown briefings secret.
A wild story that I'm excited to see what comes out of it.
Again, Bruce, well done.
Guys, get involved like Bruce is.
Governments hiding behind secrecy and are anti-democratic.
We know that about Dan Andrews.
He was the definition of anti-democratic.
He was a tyrant.
We should all know the facts about the lockdown citizens pay these people, but they act like we're wards who must be mannied for their own good.
Absolutely agree with that one, Bruce.
And finally, oh no, that's the last one.
What have we got here?
We got the exclusive story of the e-safety commissioner targeting a journalist for exposing yet another terror doctor.
I want to talk about terror doctors.
It's a bit like the Sydney nurses that claim to be doctors at the time, but Sydney nurses supporting Hamas.
We had one here.
And instead of the e-safety commissioner, who was in charge of who's an unelected bureaucrat who's in charge of essentially policing the internet instead of going for the person that's supporting terrorism, they went after in this note with this, they served this notification onto the journalist who exposed a Hamas supporting doctor.
Insane.
Well, here we go here, Bruce as usual.
E-safety, how Orwellian, that department must be abolished.
We don't need nanny state boss around us.
We don't need nanny to boss us around.
The safety kick is just a Marxist ploy to ensure total obedience to the leftist narrative.
These social nannies must be exposed and mocked.
Bruce, I like the way you think 99.95% of the time I see in the comments.
Chris, he says this guy is a doctor.
I could swear I've been, I've seen him mention and his terrorist supporting antics brought up before, but nobody did anything.
People like this should not be allowed to practice medicine in any form, doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist in Australia.
In Australia, they always seem to support the bullies and punish the victim slash victims of the bully.
Bullies seem to be protecting Australia.
This needs to stop.
You are spot on, Chris.
I don't think anyone wants to, you know, I wouldn't want to be the patient of a doctor that supports a terrorist group.
It's dangerous.
If this is their mindset, I think at the very least, journalists that are exposing them should be celebrated and not condemned.
It's all backwards here.
Demand Media Accuracy00:01:22
Sharon says, I posted a petition on change on the change.
I've posted a petition on the change petition website called Demand that Media Outlets Stop Repeating Hamas statistics and propaganda.
I want to see if you could help by adding your name and sharing the petition.
I started the petition because the mainstream media often relies on statistics compiled by Hamas, which is true, which has been proven to be false, as in the statistics have been proven to be false.
And this is the reason behind the recent surge in anti-Semitism.
The media need to be more responsible than this.
My goal is to reach a thousand signatures and I need more support.
The petition can be accessed at, and it's here, change.org forward slash p slash demand dash that dash media dash outlets.
Stop repeating the Hamas statistics and propaganda.
Thanks, Sharon.
Guys, so you can see on the bottom, if you want the link to that petition, go to this article at rebelnews.com.au and head down and you can just click through to Sharon's petition.
She's at 164 signatures.
So add your signature if you want to help Sharon there.
And I agree with absolutely with what she's saying.
