Trevor Loudon’s Comrade Prime Minister exposes Anthony Albanese’s 40-year ties to Australian communism, tracing influence from Sydney University radicals to his cabinet—Penny Wong, Mark Butler, and others linked to the Search Foundation, a group formed in 1990 with $3M from the dissolved Communist Party. Loudon warns Albanese’s second term could push socialist policies like Venezuela’s Chávez, while mass immigration (90% from third-world nations) and the Voice referendum aim to lock in leftist power. Alleging communist orchestration of COVID lockdowns—backed by figures like Daniel Andrews—and pro-China agendas, he urges tactical voting to halt what he calls irreversible authoritarian shifts, despite conservative parties’ own financial ties to Beijing.

Welcome back to the Yumini Report.
Just about a week to go till the election.
So who better to speak to than the man that has written a book about the current and hopefully past, but things are not looking great.
Prime Minister.
Trevor, welcome to the show.
Well, it's a pleasure.
Thanks for having me on, Arvi.
Look, I think now it's more important than ever for people to know the truth about Prime Minister Albanese.
So I'm hoping you can enlighten us.
What's the book about?
What's it called?
And when's it from?
And what have you found?
Well, that's the book.
It's called Comrade Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's 40-year alliance with Australian Communism.
So what I've done is traced Albanese's history since he was a young radical at Sydney University right up to the present day.
And he has been involved with the Australian communist movement every single step of the way.
He still is.
He's got their people around him at the highest levels.
He's implementing their policies.
What happened in 1990, the Australian Communist Party dissolved and they put $3 million into an organisation called the Search Foundation out of Sydney.
And that organisation took over the left wing of the ALP, the ALP left.
It took over the Greens and it took over the ACTU under Sally McManus.
And those three factions have basically guided Albanese's career every single step of the way.
The ALP left took over the Labour Party in 2019.
They got Albanese in at the top.
And if he gets a second term, he is going to implement full-on socialist policies that come directly from the old Communist Party of Australia, come directly from the Search Foundation.
And if you think Albanese has been a little bit hardcore this term, that's the softest he's ever going to be.
If he gets another term, he's going to go very, very hardcore Marxist.
So why is it that you say that the second term is going to be any worse?
Well, because, you know, the first term in a Marxist, to a Marxist, the first term in office is consolidating power.
Like Hugo Chavez was comparatively moderate in his first term of office.
This is the pattern.
You consolidate your power.
You put your people into the positions you need them.
You take over certain departments.
Second term, you go hardcore.
And what Albanese is going to do, he's going to bring in probably three or four more million immigrants into the country during his next term of office who will then vote 90% ALP.
And he won't have to worry about elections after that.
You know, that's really the plan, to so inundate the country with third world immigrants, to so empower the radical left that the conservatives will be completely marginalized.
He can never really come back.
So if he wins this election, he'll be putting Australia on the path to a one-party state, a pretty hardcore path.
So when did you write this book and how long over what kind of period were you looking at?
And well, I wrote the book.
It came out in November.
It's been selling very steadily on Amazon, etc.
I've been researching the Search Foundation since 2013.
When, before the last election, when Albany, a few articles came out about Albanese's connection to the Communist Party.
You know, when he was a young guy in the 1980s, he was interviewed by their newspaper, etc.
So for the last three years, I've done a very, very deep dive on Albanese.
I've done archival research, Search Foundation papers.
You know, so I've looked at the background of Albanese, his wife, Carmel, ex-wife, Carmel Tebbit, Penny Wong, Mark Butler, his cabinet minister, his chief of staff, Tim Gartrell, who is a full-on Search Foundation member, former General Secretary of the ALP, and Sally McManus of the ACTU, who is also a Search Foundation member.
So the book is 400 pages, 50 pages of references, and I go into the backgrounds of all of these people and show the direct connection between the Communist Party of Australia, the Search Foundation, and virtually everything Albanese is doing, from his COVID policies to his voice referendum to his environmental policies.
It all comes out of the communist movement, all of it.
And so when you say he's installed people in this term, who are the kinds of people you're talking about?
Well, his cabinet appointees, you know, he had to take over the foreign ministry.
So, you know, he got put Penny Wong.
You know, she is effectively the deputy prime minister.
So put her there.
Mark Butler, several other of his cabinet ministers.
He assembled a sort of kitchen cabinet.
It's got guys like, you know, the head of the Maritime Workers Union, Paddy Crumlin, is part of this inner circle, you know, a deep Marxist from years ago.
So he's put all these people together as sort of a cabinet.
Linda Burney, his Indigenous Affairs Minister, who's just stood down, but she's got a very deep background in the Communist Party and the Search Foundation and that kind of thing.
So he put all of these people together to implement his voice referendum, to implement his environmental policies, etc.
And Australia's never had a more Marxist government than it does today.
never.
So you say that the plan is essentially to bring in, and I think it's been clear, that's been a Labor plan for a long time, is bringing in more voters, importing more voters, a bit like in the US where the Democrats want to bring in.
Exactly, exactly the same principle, yes.
So, and that's, and And so essentially the end game is to just keep that power within the Labour movement, Labour Party.
Not just in the Labour Party, in the Labour left.
The Labour left was set up by the Communist Party.
So for most of Australia's history, the Labour right has dominated under Paul Keating and Bob Hawke, etc.
But in 2019, the left finally took over the ALP executive.
So the left is in control now.
And so it is not going to be a Labour government that'll be permanently in power.
It'll be the hard left faction of the left.
Albanese came out of the hard left of the left.
Not just the left, the hard left of the left.
And he's putting his people in all sorts of positions, Tim Gartrell and others, to basically carry on, carry on this if he gets a second term.
He'll have no constraints because he knows he's got the power of immigration.
He can bring in as many people as he wants, turn them into Labor voters, and it's virtually impossible to stop him at that point.
So when people say, because I do speak to old school Labor voters who were all about the union, workers' rights, things like that.
And either they blindly vote Labour because they just don't really look into it.
But there are those that say they feel like the Labour movement has shifted.
The Labour Party has shifted from what it used to be and what they are.
So you're saying it's all by design once the Labour left, which is closely tied to the Communist Party, took over.
Is that what's just essentially happened?
Yeah, you've got to understand, you know, look, the ALP has always been a basically workers' party, a grassroots party that most Australians either supported or didn't mind too much.
You know, they weren't too worried if Bob Hawke was the prime.
They might have been conservative voters, but they didn't really worry if Paul Keating or Bob Hawke was in power.
This is like Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn has taken over the Australian Labour Party.
And it's never, and so they don't, as long as they can control the unions, and they've got the Greens as their allies, the Greens are controlled by the Search Foundation as well.
They can assemble a hard left coalition now that can never be defeated if they do things correctly.
And Australia's never been in that position before.
And they will, and you've got to understand, they're all very pro-China.
So they're going to drag Australia into China's orbit and they're going to basically destroy any ties to United States, Canada, or that sort of thing.
Australia will, under their control, and especially under Penny Wong's control, become really an appendage of the Communist Party of China.
So how did you get to this search foundation and what exactly is that?
Because that seems to be the connecting link.
It is.
Look, I've studied them for 20 years, probably.
Why?
Or because that's what I do.
I study the left.
I've written several books on American communist politics.
I did a lot of the work, the early work behind Obama.
I just wrote a big book on Kamala Harris.
You can see it on the background there.
I've looked into the backgrounds of Joe Biden, people like that.
I've researched and studied the left for 40 years.
How are you studying?
Well, you know, you've got to be very objective.
You've got to treat it like you're looking at a worm farm or something.
You've got to look, it amuses me.
You know, I don't get too wrapped.
I don't get emotionally involved.
This is a scientific study.
And so I've been looking at the Search Foundation.
The Search Foundation was set up when the Communist Party of Australia dissolved in 1990.
They had three million dollars of money.
They set up the search foundation to basically help to start the Australian Greens.
They started to heavily infiltrate the left wing of the Labour Party, especially through young Labour Left.
The Young Labour Left become one of their biggest recruiting grounds.
And so they built up over many years.
They recruited young Labour Left.
They took over a lot of the young environmental movements, the young Greens.
Adam Banters is basically their close ally.
Pocock, Barbara Pocock, the senator from South Australia, the Green Senator, is a Search Foundation member, as is her former husband, a former communist, as are both of her children.
Maureen Faruqi, the deputy leader of the Greens, is also very close to the Search Foundation.
So the Search Foundation is the hub.
It operates out of Sydney, but it has branches and all of them.
How do you know they're all associated to the Search Foundation?
Is it listed?
Are they publicly listed?
Yeah, absolutely.
Like I've got all their files, you know, from they hold them in libraries, the ANU and places like that.
So I go there, photocopy thousands of pages.
Tim Gartrell, who's Albanese chief of staff, joined the Search Foundation in 2013 after he was already General Secretary of the Labour Party.
You know, and now the Australian magazine calls him the second or third most powerful person in the country.
This guy's a Marxist.
You know, Thomas Mayo, who ran the voice referendum, is a search foundation member.
You know, that's not public, but he was mentored by the famous Darwin communist Brian Manning, who also joined the Search Foundation.
The voice referendum was 100% a search foundation operation, but it was promoted by the ACTU under Sally McManus, who is a search foundation member, the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union, which is controlled by the Search Foundation, the left wing of the ALP, and they mounted this big campaign under Albanese, funded by you, the taxpayer, to try and change Australia's constitution.
And if it wasn't for the no vote team who really, really stepped up, they would have succeeded and they would have given the Search Foundation basically veto control over the Australian Parliament because that's what it was about.
The search found this the voice was supposed to be a small group who would have veto control over Australian legislation.
And that group would have been controlled by Linda Burney and various communists answerable to the Search Foundation.
They almost changed your constitution.
That's how powerful these people are.
But they're running Albanese's environmental policies as well.
Powerful Connections Revealed00:10:05
They're running his foreign policies too.
Do they have international connections?
Not loose ones.
Like, do they have some real international connections or is this an Australian group that have got together with this agenda?
Look, they are bringing Cubans into Australia, Cuban communists, to work amongst the Aboriginal populations.
They're tied to the Communist Party of Cuba, a whole bunch of communist parties in Latin America.
They're tied to Democratic Socialists of America.
How do you know they're bringing in these Cubans?
How do you find that?
It's all in the book.
I've got photographs of them.
I go and look at their stuff.
I read their stuff.
It's not even that secret.
You know, they've got ties to communists in Sri Lanka.
helped to uh sri lanka's just come under a communist government the search foundation helped to do that they've got ties to the communists in east timor they've got ties to the communists in the philippines and the communist party of china so yes they have big international connections um iranians they have connections to iranian communists you name them why is there no focus on them if they're that powerful why don't why don't i know who they are Well,
that's right, because the Australian media will not touch this stuff.
Why?
The Australian media is, as you know, to the left.
So they won't cover this stuff.
So nobody knows.
ASIO knows all about these people, but who's their boss?
Anthony Albanese is their boss.
Do you think they're going to publicize the people that their boss is dependent on?
Sure, but there have been liberal governments since its founding.
What did you say, 2013, did you say?
Yes, under Scott Morrison, John Howard, all those people.
But look, look, McCarthyism has always been very unfashionable for a long time.
The left has made it very unfashionable and very problematic to identify and point out communism.
If you try and do that, even if you try and expose the Confucius Institutes, which Scott Morrison was trying to do, and Albanese stopped, by the way, that's problematic.
But to actually say, see, look, look, Albanese was chosen for the job by Arthur Greitzelt, Tom Uren, and Bruce Childs, all key top leaders of the Labour Party, of the ALP left.
And all of them were deeply connected to the Communist Party, every single one of them.
That was revealed in Mark Aaron's book, a former communist, a member of the Search Foundation, who actually stupidly revealed this.
Those people picked out Albanese as a young man in the early 90s, and they guided his career as long as they were alive.
They engineered every step of the way.
The Search Foundation got behind him.
They tried to get him in as the leader, but Bill Shorten beat him.
So then they tried again a bit later on.
So to call this out, you're talking about a lot of very important Australian politicians, you know, Tom Uren and Arthur Geitzelt and Bruce Childs.
These were very senior figures in the ALP.
And to call senior figures in the ALP communists is something that most of the coalition politicians won't do, even if they know it.
And most of them just don't know it.
So yes, you've had Scott Morrison.
Yes, you've had, you know, these coalition governments.
But McCarthyism is so unfashionable and the media is so against this, it would take a very brave politician to do it.
That's why some ways a foreigner has an advantage.
You know, I can be in America and I can fire this into you and do interviews all over Australia and they can't do much to me.
You know, but they could really make life.
How do they present themselves?
How does the Search Foundation present themselves?
What's their outward face, I guess?
Well, they call themselves Democratic Socialists.
Okay, we're a democratic socialist organization which tries to influence government policy.
That's what they say.
But the fact that they're think tank.
Like a think tank, yes, very much so.
And they're tied to the Evett Foundation.
But you're saying that they outwardly admit that they're a democratic socialist.
So they admit they're socialist?
Oh, no question about that.
Yeah.
and the ALP is I get what you're saying And that's easy.
That's not a big leap to make, even for, you know, the average person.
To go from socialist to communism is most people can see understand the connection.
But most people would also be surprised that there are visible, easily traced connections between somebody like the prime minister and half his personal pics within the government to an outwardly proud socialist foundation.
Well, look, you would think that would be, you know, but look, it's easily provable.
You know, there's 400 pages full of documentation, photographs, screenshots, you know, minutes of search foundation meetings, search foundation policy papers.
It's all in there.
It's actually not that difficult to prove if you want to look for it.
But the search foundation, you know, they're very arrogant.
They think nobody's ever going to look at us.
You know, you can't talk about socialists and communists and government in Australia.
So we can operate under the radar.
But they control the Greens.
They control the ALP left.
They control young Labor left.
They control the Evett Foundation.
They control the ALP.
Jim, what way do they control them?
So if you're a member...
Well, they have...
Okay, well, most of the leaders of Young ALP Left are also Search Foundation members.
And their policies reflect, and they are used as a bridge to bring Search Foundation policies into the ALP left.
And they've got a whole bunch of people in the ALP left that help this along.
And I name a whole bunch of them in the book.
Look, that's concerning itself.
But let's say they argue, because I've heard this argument made about things like the World Economic Forum, where it's just people, you know, powerful people or people within the organization that just share common values, which in itself is bad enough because why are we letting socialists dictate anything in our country?
But they'll argue, they just share that, you know, they're members not because they're there to take orders.
They're there because they actually just share their worldview and they just happen to be pushing that agenda because that's what they care about.
Do you get what I'm saying?
We're saying that they control them.
I understand exactly what you're saying, but this is what I say.
I look at all the search foundation policies, which directly reflect the Communist Party of Australia's policy.
Then I look at the chain of personnel, search personnel.
They ran the voice referendum.
They run the ACTU.
They run the Australian Manufacturers' Workers Union.
They run the Greens.
They run the ACTU.
And all of these organisations reflect the same policy.
And I study the chain of this policy.
And they talk about this.
They talk about how are we going to get this adopted by the Labour Party?
How are we going to transfer this policy into the Greens?
They talk about this in their policy papers.
And the proof is in the pudding.
You know, Thomas Mayo is a search foundation Marxist who ran a campaign funded by the Australian taxpayer, backed by the ACTU, backed by the Labour left, backed by a lot of Greens, all going on Search Foundation policy.
Look, they talk about it that we formulated the voice referendum.
We started this in 2016.
We did this.
We did that.
We have a voice.
They have a voice treaty working group inside search, which coordinates with Thomas Mayo, which coordinates with the ACTU.
So this is how communists work.
The big secret of communism is not that, you know, if these people stood for public office as communists, they get seven votes.
But if they control major policy making operations like the Greens, like the ACTU, like the Evett Foundation, they have all these transmission belts into the ALP policy councils, into the Greens policy councils.
So their policy directly reflects that of the Search Foundation.
You see a very clear chain.
And all of these organisations are led by Search Foundation supporters, Sally McManus at the ACTU, Adam Bant and Maureen Faruqi and the Greens and Barbara Pocock and many others.
I can give you a whole list of people in the ALP left, you know, from Mark Butler to Penny Wong to whatever, who all reflect and have worked with the Search Foundation.
All of them reflect their policies.
China's Influence on Australian Politics00:07:31
Now, I know in the last, you know, in this, in the Albanese administration, there's been this shift with China.
So prior to Albanese, Australia was not, you know, there was the conflict.
There was clearly not a great relationship, which was getting worse.
And one of the achievements that the Albanese government on the campaign now talk about and rave about is the fact that they were able to mend that relationship with China.
Are you telling me that that is just because they're really on the same side here?
Well, because they are.
Why did the Chinese call Albanese little handsome boy?
Why are the Chinese having live firing exercises off your coast?
Why are the Chinese doing?
But that didn't help.
But that didn't help.
That was embarrassing to Albanese.
He didn't even know about it.
Like, when I look at the live firing off the coast, I go, that's just them.
That's almost them dissing him, showing that he's like a kid that holds no power.
They know he's not going to do anything.
They're exerting their power, especially in the context of America.
But if the Search Foundation is so connected to them, why do they need to do that?
Well, because, you know, China runs its own policy.
You know, one of their big factors is intimidation.
It was a little like when Obama got caught on Open Mic with Medvedev, the Russian premier in 2012.
He said, when I get re-elected, I'll have more flexibility to deal with you.
Like he was talking to his boss.
Well, Albanese and Wong know that the CCP is their boss.
And they're not going to, you know, any decent prime minister should have gone hardcore against the Chinese for doing what they did.
When the Chinese attack some of your sailors near the Philippines with their sonar device and damaged their ears, what did Penny Wong do about that?
Nothing.
When the Russians are building, look, talking about putting bombers in Indonesia, you know, what happens?
Nothing.
Because Albanese comes from the communist movement, which is much happier having China run the Pacific than it would be having America being dominating and dominating in the Pacific.
You know, how many trips has Albanese made to the United States compared to how many times he and Penny Wong have been to China in the last three years?
You know, he has just, he is China's little boy.
It's as simple as that.
You know, when Scott Morrison was trying to shut down all the Confucius Institutes, Albanese stopped that program.
He has stopped all criticism of China.
He has also taken ASIO and ASIS out of cabinet.
And that was organized by his secretary of the Prime Minister Department, Glynn Davis, who is very active in the Confucius foundations and also has connections to the Search Foundation.
He took ASIO out of their rightful place in cabinet.
Now they just brought in when they need it because he doesn't want the people who know what he is in the cabinet table with him.
Tell me, did your investigations at all land you with one of the particular premier named Comrade Dan Andrews?
Daniels.
Yes, Logo, I know a lot about Daniel Andrews.
I don't put a lot in the book, but I know I think he's got a couple of small mentions.
But here's the thing with Daniel Andrews.
Hardcore leftist, labor left, Fabian society, hardcore, very pro-China, tried to bring the Belt and Road into Victoria, you know, against the wishes of Scott Morrison.
Scott Morrison had to veto it.
Here's what I'll tell you, what I'll say.
You'll notice all around the world and in Australia, the places with the harshest lockdowns are the places where the Chinese had most control.
And in Victoria, Daniel Andrews is their boy.
He's the China's boy.
The unions in Victoria are largely run by the Search Foundation and the Communist Party of Australia, Marxist-Leninist, which is an openly pro-China communist party.
That's why Victoria got the harshest lockdowns.
And I'd say New South Wales probably got the second worst, because that's where the most Chinese influence comes in.
The lockdowns and everything, that was all to wreck the economy.
That was all it was for, you know, and get people used to following orders too.
So, you know, the Chinese gave us a virus.
Then they used their subservient politicians and their subservient unions to enforce the harshest possible lockdowns wherever they could to do us the most possible economic damage.
For two and a half years, we lived under Chinese communist dictates.
Their policy was it was never going to be ivermectin, it was never going to be vitamin D therapy, it was never going to be herd immunity, it was going to be masks, lockdowns, and vaccines.
That was the Chinese line enforced by the World Health Organization, which is run by Mr. Tedros, an Ethiopian pro-Chinese Marxist put in place by China.
That was a Chinese operation.
The whole COVID lockdown fast was a Chinese operation to do us damage.
And Daniel Andrews was their poster boy for that.
Do you think everything else is a distraction?
The real threat is that the China, the rise of China and the control that China has around the world, including here in Australia, our Prime Minister, but you're talking about Tedros and others in the UN.
Yeah, well, a lot of people are very worried about the World Economic Forum, for instance.
And you should be.
But the World Economic Forum is a puppet of the Chinese.
You know, look, well, look, they held a meeting in Beijing two years ago, run by the youth wing of the Chinese Communist Party, and they gathered all these young communists from all over the world.
The keynote speaker was Klaus Schwab and the head of the Chinese Communist Party and the head of the United Nations.
And they were clearly the little boys in the room.
They were clearly the boys.
Look, Klaus Schwab has worked with the Chinese for years.
He's got a bust of Lenin in his office.
You know, this is what I would say.
If the World Economic Forum, if China collapsed tomorrow, the World Economic Forum would collapse the next day.
If the World Economic Forum collapsed tomorrow, China would just make another one.
How far back does Klaus Schwab's connection to the WEF go?
Does it go back to the beginning of him setting up the WEF?
Late 80s Connections00:02:52
Well, late, yeah, yeah, late 80s, late 80s, early 90s was when it really got going.
And he's been working with the Chinese all of that time.
For the viewers, what would be the takeaway message from your book and where can they find the book?
Yeah, just get it on Amazon.
So it's just my name, Trevor Louden, L-O-U-D-O-N.
Just look up Comrade Prime Minister.
It's selling pretty well.
It's number one in all Australian categories right now.
So it shouldn't be hard to find.
My takeaway message is this: when you vote in a few days' time, think about how you can tactically vote to vote Anthony Albanese out of power.
Now, I'm not saying you vote for this politician, whatever.
You look at your electorate, you look at your preferences.
What can you do to make it tough for Albanese to get back in?
That's the goal in front of us.
Now, we've got to stop Albanese because he'll do so much damage to Australia, you won't recover.
After Albanese is defeated, then we've all got a big job of getting rid of all the useless conservatives and the posers and the you know are any of those conservatives part of the Search Foundation?
No, no, no.
Look, they sometimes follow their policy, but no, this is an exclusively left-wing phenomenon.
The Conservative parties have their own problems.
You know, we know that the Chinese have that we know the Chinese have hooks into the Conservatives too.
You know, they get the left through ideology and money, they get the right through money.
So, there are a lot of problems still to be dealt with.
But this is what I say: if Albanese gets in again, he's going to do things that you can't change.
He'll implement the voice, he'll get it through local state level, he'll flood the country with probably another three, four million refugees, migrants, whatever.
He'll vote 90% Labour, and he'll indoctrinate your kids way more hardcore than he already is.
And he'll empower the Muslim communities like crazy as well, because he's a very pro-Palestinian guy.
Penny Wong, you've seen how what she's like.
So, he'll do things that will make it almost impossible to come back from.
So, it's a lot better to stop him now when we have a chance than to stop him, try and do it again in three years' time when you're going to be dealing with far greater headwinds.
If you love your kids, go to the polls, vote right, vote, don't boycott the polls, don't be stupid like that.
Get in there and vote.
Immediate Focus: Stop Him Now00:01:23
Take every opportunity.
If enough patriotic Australians rise up, he can be defeated at this election.
I know how it's going.
I know that Trump's tariffs haven't helped.
I know all of this, but he can still be beaten and he has to be beaten.
He has to be beaten.
Thanks for your time.
Look, it's a great pleasure, Arvi.
Great to meet you.
And big thank you to all your Australian viewers and New Zealand viewers, etc.
Thank you, mate.
I feel like your book deserves its own full story to unpack in a video to make it simple for people to understand because just in this last 35 minutes, there's so much information to absorb that is going to get me thinking even way past this election.
But hopefully some of those things that you predict don't happen and we manage to stop them.
Well, I hope that too.
But you know, like I'm looking at maybe turn the book into a documentary, you know, later down the track, something like that.
It sounds like it needs to be done.
Yeah, I think so.
That would reach a lot more people.
But the immediate focus now is to try and win this done election.
You know, that's the immediate focus.
If we can do that, that's going to make things a lot easier.
