Reiley's Story - The Cost of Compliance vs Non-Compliance Every choice carries a price. In this profound collaboration between Max Freedom and Michael Gray Griffith, we examine the heavy toll of the mandate era through the personal lens of Reiley’s journey. Reiley’s story is one of compliance—a choice made under the weight of a mandate that changed everything. While some paid with their careers by refusing, others, like Reiley, paid a different price with their health and convictions. Though the mandates have officially ended, the social, financial, and personal costs continue to be felt every single day. Justice is the constant struggle to right the wrongs of the past and ensure they are never repeated. By sharing this particular story of the human experience, we hope to shed light on the lasting impact of these decisions and the ongoing fight for accountability. Thank you for listening and for honouring Reiley’s story. 💡 Support Independent Media Help us keep independent media alive and continue our mission to document these vital stories.

The pandemic served as a test for whether our governments serve the people, or want to collude with corporations to implement a digital surveillance state. They chose the corporations. A Royal Commission is needed headed by the people to determine how they came to make these decisions. It is your duty to continue to speak out against these parasites that now occupy our government. Restore Australia for the people.

Pauline Hanson Fires Up Perth Crowd as Hundreds Protest Outside ! Pauline Hanson stormed into the West and lit a fire under a massive audience, with the venue packed to the rafters with supporters. Inside the venue Crooked Spire Coffee House, the One Nation leader delivered a defiant, no-holds-barred speech to a room overflowing with people. She told the crowd that major parties and out-of-touch bureaucrats have driven the country into the ground, stripping away the Australia she grew up in. Reflecting on her 30 years in the ring, Hanson reminded the audience that despite the attacks and her imprisonment in 2003, she never gave up because the people never gave up on her. The message was clear: mass migration is wrecking housing affordability, government waste is at an all-time high, and the "climate scam" is destroying the economy. Hanson demanded an end to wind turbines on farmland, calling instead for coal-fired power and a move toward nuclear energy. She hit hard on the cost of living, slamming the government for sending millions overseas while working Australians are forced to sleep in their cars. She also praised her WA state MPs Hon @RodCaddies and Hon @PhilScottForWA , along with federal Senator Tyron Whitten who were also in attendance. Hanson declared that this isn’t just a protest—it’s a movement. Following the formal address, Hanson stayed to go around the room, taking the time to meet with the crowd and pose for pictures with the many supporters who had turned out to see her. But while the energy was electric inside, the battle lines were drawn outside. Hundreds of protesters swarmed from Midland train station, determined to stand against the event. Organised by the WA Socialists and backed by The Greens, the counter-protest featured activists including Greens MLC Hon @Sophiemcneill . The demonstrators accused One Nation of importing "Trump-style politics" and stoking racism to divide the working class. Their flyers were blunt: they see One Nation as a threat to multicultural Australia and vowed to keep organising against what they called far-right politics. The contrast couldn't have been sharper. Inside, a sea of supporters cheered for a "return to common sense" and national pride. Outside, hundreds gathered to chant against the One Nation message. The night proved one thing: the political temperature in Western Australia just hit the boiling point. The fight for the West has officially begun.

I just spent 2 weeks in Europe with activists from some of the world's most oppressive regimes. One question kept coming up: what are the red flags that people in "free" countries aren't seeing? Turns out there are many. youtu.be/PB87iMFlMC4 odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4…

There’s no bigger fallacy used in financial planning than negative gearing. The process works like this. An investor borrows a large sum of money knowing that the interest expense will exceed the net rental income (rental income less rates, maintenance etc). This results in a tax loss of which the marginal tax rate x the loss will be refunded by the taxpayer to the investor who got this deduction by paying interest to the bank. The investor hopes to recoup the loss by achieving a capital gain over a period of time on the property that exceeds the net tax cost of interest. So for every $1 spent on interest, assuming a top marginal tax of 47 cents, the investor is betting that the capital gain earned will exceed the net tax loss of 53 cents . As the table in comments show, even if the capital gain growth exceeds the cost of interest by 4% it will take 17 years for the net tax loss to be recouped. Given that mortgage interest rates are around 6% it’s a heroic assumption to assume house prices will grow consistently by 10% for the next 17 years. Borrowing large sums of money to make a tax loss is also financially risky. There’s nothing wrong with borrowing money, but not to the extent you are losing money on your investment. If you lose your job or other income streams, the ability to maintain your loan will become difficult as the rent alone will not cover mortgage payments. If you take a big picture view of negative gearing it is essentially a transfer of wealth from taxpayers to banks. Five of Australia’s six biggest companies are banks. Taxpayers should not be subsidising them through negative gearing. They already suck up way too much of Australia’s prosperity as it is. There is also a large degree of hypocrisy around negative gearing. The same people who support it are in many cases the same people who are against high immigration which contributes to driving capital gains. The way best way to kill suboptimal financial decision making is to lower the rate of income tax regardless of income source. It’s why PeopleFirstParty.au will keep advocating to cut income taxes.

A One Nation branch launch event took place at the Fremantle community centre. Following social media announcements, a snap protest organised by WA Socialists drew a large crowd to the site, which gathered outside the venue and blocked the entrance. Protesters were chanting slogans including “Shut it down, shut it down,” “Pauline Hanson go to hell,” and “Shame, racists, shame,” while also declaring that “Freo is a union town.” The group was reported to be deliberately disrupting and blocking the safe passage of attendees, verbally abusing patrons as they walked into the private event. WA Hon. Rod Caddies MLC was seen at the front of the venue while security guards manned the entrance. During the demonstration, alternative media was present on the scene, and it was reported that a protester attempted to steal a camera from a media representative while they were filming. Over 20 WA Police officers attended the scene after being called, with some officers reportedly heavily armed, as tensions continued outside the venue. Inside the venue, Rod Caddies stated that One Nation is all for the freedom to protest in a democratic country as long as it doesn’t violently assault or enter personal space. Statements from both sides reflected opposing views. One Nation member Hon MLC Phil Scott - One Nation Western Australia, “The Far Left do not own Fremantle as a fiefdom. We have a democratic right to have a private branch meeting.” Protest organisers maintained that Fremantle is a left-wing, anti-racist community and opposed the presence of One Nation in the area. The next few years may be politically significant, with the possibility that Fremantle’s long-standing identity as a predominantly left-wing district could face increasing challenge

Well said 🤙🏽
There is no such thing as an “ethnic Australian.” Australian is a nationality, not a race. I’m Anglo-Celtic on both sides. One side of my family were convicts brought here with the First Fleet; the other emigrated from Britain in the 1960s. If you did a DNA test, the convict side obviously wouldn’t have an “Australian” strand of DNA that the other side doesn’t. They’d look very similar, aside from the usual mixed bag of ancestry. That isn’t to say Australia wasn’t built on British and Anglo-Celtic traditions - of course it was. And that’s largely why my Scottish and English grandparents, and their children who moved here in the 1960s, could assimilate so easily. But Australia is, and always has been, more than that. The history of Australia began long before the First Fleet landed and has evolved rapidly since, thanks in part to the contributions of many different ethnicities. What Australia is, and what it means to be Australian, has evolved over time as well. The problem we’ve arrived at is that we can no longer agree on what that means. That’s because many people want to deny the fact that this country was built on British and Anglo-Celtic traditions, while others want to reduce Australia solely to that - or solely to what came before it. Both groups are living in the past, and I think most Australians are bored with both. The reasonable middle ground is recognising that we owe a massive debt to British and Anglo-Celtic traditions - and yes, that includes colonialism. We can acknowledge the wrongs that were committed while also recognising that an incredible country emerged from it. Aboriginal Australians were here for tens of thousands of years. Anglo-Celtic Australians for hundreds. Both understandably have a massive stake in this country. But there are also the countless migrant communities who helped shape modern Australia. Italians and Greeks in particular transformed Australian food, business, hospitality, and culture, while Chinese, Lebanese, Vietnamese, Jewish, and many other communities made enormous contributions to the country’s economy, institutions, and way of life. Modern Australia was not built by one group alone, even if its core foundations were British and Anglo-Celtic. The reality is that Australia’s core institutions, laws, language, and democratic traditions are overwhelmingly British and Anglo-Celtic in origin, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. That heritage should be recognised, honoured, and embraced. But modern Australia also sits on a continent with tens of thousands of years of Aboriginal history behind it, alongside generations of migrant contributions that have helped shape the country’s culture and identity over time. To be Australian is not about race or blood - it’s about embracing, contributing to, and respecting that shared national story in all its complexity.

Oh yes, and the "Agenda" is door-knocking in Bendigo, under the guise of your Victorian Premier
Richard Werner, the ex WEF young global leader shocked me yet again with his chilling insights. You may recall in 2023 he revealed that the purported end game was CBDCs implanted under the skin, using universal basic income to force acceptance. Now we’re being told UBI will be needed due to AI taking our jobs. And here’s the clincher!! He believes the real reason they’re building massive centralised AI data centres is for the implementation of CBDCs. If this is true, an agenda we thought we had defeated is still coming together in plain sight.

Speak up - some day it will matter “The Milgram experiment was a famous 1961 Yale University study by psychologist Stanley Milgram. It measured people's willingness to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience, revealing that a surprising majority would inflict extreme, potentially lethal pain on others simply because they were ordered to do so.” •••••••••••••••• Came across this clip while doom scrolling. It’s a great example of what goes on inside political parties and organisations in general, particularly larger ones. Rather than stand up for someone that has clearly been treated poorly, the people in the class just sat there and allowed it to happen. No one spoke up because they were afraid of what was going to happen to them. This scenario plays out everyday across all walks of life, even where there is little downside to calling out bad behaviour. The maltreatment that occurred during Covid was not an aberration. It’s normal. Integrity and conviction matters. I’m often asked why politicians and bureaucrats get away with making unjust decisions. The answer is simple - not enough people speak up to stop the injustice. The world is run by those who turn up. If you don’t get involved in the political process don’t complain when those that do end up controlling you. Maintaining our freedoms takes courage, commitment and perseverance. Peoplefirstparty.au is up for the fight. Are you? Join up today if you want to keep Australia prosperous and free.

3 Years Later: Results Delivered on Assange and The Voice, but the Fight against Agenda 2030 Continues. Three years ago at a Rally for Freedom, these speeches captured the raw determination of Australians who refused to stay silent. They called out Australia’s subservience to the United States, demanded Julian Assange be brought home, and urged people to vote NO to The Voice to Parliament. They also warned of the looming surveillance state, social credit systems, and the steady erosion of our fundamental rights. Looking back at our progress: The Voice: The Australian people stood firm and delivered a clear NO result, protected our equality, and rejected the false flag of a divided parliament. Julian Assange: One of the most significant fights for truth ended in victory—Julian Assange is finally home. While these two major objectives were successful, the warnings in this speech remain as relevant as ever. The push toward the totalitarian 2030 surveillance grid agenda continues to roll on, threatening our independence through digital control , Digital Id's , programable money and "smart city" restrictions. We celebrate our wins, but we remain vigilant. The fight for real freedom is far from over.

The Fight for Institutional Neutrality: Mansfield v. City of Armadale The issue centers on Declan, a long-serving library worker who spent around 15 years at the front desk before becoming caught up in a dispute over workplace ideology, free speech, and institutional neutrality. After objecting to mandatory DEI training on philosophical grounds and later writing publicly about his concerns, he says the situation escalated into accusations, internal pressure, and treatment he believes amounted to discrimination because of his beliefs. Following his criticism, he says he was labelled a bigot, investigated for misconduct over a minor incident, and pressured to comply with the ideology or face termination. Feeling targeted and unable to work under those conditions, he resigned and is now pursuing legal action with support from the @FSUofAustralia More broadly, the case raises questions about whether public institutions should enforce particular ideological views, how dissenting opinions are treated in the workplace, and whether disciplinary processes can be used to silence disagreement. Concerns about censorship, reputational harm, and the right to hold independent political or philosophical beliefs have now pushed the matter into the legal arena. Today marked a major turning point, with a hearing at the State Administrative Tribunal to determine whether Declan’s discrimination claim against the City of Armadale can proceed or be dismissed. Supporters say the outcome matters not just for Declan personally, but for wider questions of freedom of speech and belief in public institutions. People who want to follow the case, watch the documentary, or support his legal fight can do so on the Free Speech Union Australia page: freespeechunion.au/supportde… The page includes Declan’s Story, updates on the case, and options to donate toward his legal expenses.

The Strategy of Globalism & The "Dismantling" of the West -WALK OF SHAME Pip on the intersection of globalist strategy and the perceived betrayal of Western civilisation. Speaking in the Hay Street Mall, Pip utilises research, partially gathered through recent interactions with AI to outline what she describes as a "coordinated, multi-decade strategy" to dismantle sovereign nations from the inside. What is the Monthly "Walk of Shame"? The Walk of Shame of the Jab and Lockdown Criminals is a monthly gathering of concerned West Australians who meet in the Perth malls to spread their findings and initiate public dialogue. By displaying signage and delivering open-air speeches, the group seeks to highlight colonial, state, and federal government actions that they contend are transitioning Australia into an authoritarian state day by day. Key Highlights from Pip's Address: The Globalist "Endgame": Pip argues that unelected organisations, including the WEF and Davos-linked networks, are directing captured Western governments to create a "borderless, low-trust society" that is easier to monitor, tax, and control. Engineered Migration: Pip discusses mass immigration policy, suggesting it is a deliberate "dilution" of cultural cohesion. She contrasts Australia’s current trajectory with Japan’s strict immigration stance, questioning why Western dissent is labeled "racist" while other nations remain sovereign. The "War on Cash": Highlighting recent trends in "debanking," Pip details claims of citizens being restricted from accessing their own money and warns of the looming implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as a tool for algorithm-based social control. Economic & Energy Critique: Pip labels "Net Zero" and green energy mandates as "economic self-destruction," arguing that these policies transfer wealth upward and destroy environmental health while skyrocketing power bills for "battlers" and "shoppies." Institutional Concerns: Pip voices strong opposition to recent leadership appointments, specifically criticising the choice of an economist to lead the Defense Department, calling it a "slap in the face" to those with military experience. Cultural Sabotage: The speech touches on "woke ideology" and historical guilt taught in schools, which Pip claims makes young people ashamed of Western achievements and traditional family values. Pip concludes by urging the public to "follow the money trail" and stay alert to the geopolitical shifts she believes are designed to weaken the West’s productive capacity and individual freedoms.

ASIO Legislation & "Welcome to Country" Counter-Address- WALK OF SHAME On the first Saturday of the month, the streets of Perth become the stage for the latest "Walk of Shame". What is the Monthly "Walk of Shame"? The Walk of Shame of the Jab and Lockdown Criminals is a monthly gathering of concerned West Australians who meet in the heart of Perth to spread what they describe as "the truth" and initiate public dialogue. Through the use of highly visible signage, the group aims to highlight specific actions taken by local, state, and federal governments that they believe are sliding Australia into an authoritarian state. Today Stuart and Pip address the crowds walking past about the current climate in Australia. Protest Legality: Stuart addresses claims by the City of Perth regarding the legality of their assembly and discusses the friction between local rangers and constitutional rights to protest. ASIO Legislation Overhaul: Guest speaker Pip delivers a detailed breakdown of the proposed changes to the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) laws. She highlights the potential removal of "sunset clauses," which would make extraordinary questioning and detention powers permanent. Civil Liberties & Minors: A focused look at how the lowering of the questioning age to 14 and the threat of Five-year imprisonment for "illegible statements" or refusing to answer questions could impact everyday Australians. The Global Landscape: Analysis of how these domestic changes mirror international trends in the UK and elsewhere regarding "hate speech" legislation and the monitoring of digital communications. Government Growth: A statistical look at the burgeoning public sector in Australia and concerns regarding the "surveillance state." As the geopolitical landscape shifts, these participants argue that the loss of freedom of speech is the first domino to fall in the loss of all other democratic protections. STAY INFORMED: The speakers encourage citizens to research the "Stand Up Now Australia" petition and to review the 2025 annual threat assessments for themselves.
