Thank you Rebekah, you are on the ball again. I am sending in a submission before 30th Sept too. On Thursday night 26th September the australiandemocracy.org.au are hosting a zoom about the disinfo bill with a senior lawyer at Human Rights Law Centre speaking. His name is David Mejia-Canales. Just in case any of your readers are interested. I hope it will inform my submission.
I followed the hyperlink to the website of the ‘Australian Democracy Network’ expecting to find information about the intended Zoom meeting that was mentioned in the comment above – but no info was directly provided. Instead, apart from some generalised statements about the purposes of the organisation, the landing page goes straight into a request for name & address details for those interested to ‘sign up’ for their ‘updates’.
On reading through the other information on the website I could find no reference to the injustice of the mandates and coercion surrounding the mRNA injectables, or the way the vax refuseniks have been ignored by organisations that purport to advocate for ‘human rights’, or the suffering of those afflicted by severe adverse reactions following injection - or any sort of discussion that pertains thereto.
I read through the organisation’s last annual report (for 2022-2023) and learnt that the structure of the ‘Australian Democracy Network’ is that of a limited liability company - as well as being a registered charity – and a fairly wealthy one, at that. The organisation’s ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ for that period was slightly more than $1.1 million and ‘Other Income’ donations for the period were over $400,000. Its ‘Cash at the Bank’ was about half a million. Specific information about the source of the donation revenue received is not disclosed.
After closely reading the promotional text and endorsements on the website, it appears to me that the ‘Australian Democracy Network’ is an organisation with particular ideological objectives that support only certain perspectives about Australian society. This can also be deduced from the statement that the Australian Democracy Network is ‘powered by progressive philanthropy’.
The complete absence of any mention of the evil wrought by the mRNA injectables mandates or the soaring rate of excess deaths following the vax rollout is a worry, and one wonders whether any of the ‘progressive philanthropy’ was redirected to support those brave individuals who tried to enforce their democratic rights by contesting the vax mandates in the courts. There is certainly no mention of that on the website or in the Annual Report.
One can only offer a word of caution to other readers of this Substack regarding the ‘Australian Democracy Network’. Before ‘signing up’, make sure that you read & fully understand the information presented on their website regarding the selectivity of the causes that they support – and ask yourself where all that donation money comes from.
Thanks Lapun. I just went through them too - creepy polish, imo. Started in 2020. It looks like an outfit to push the intended new green cultural marxist structure that began with the pandemic. It all has that sterile, groomed wef look about it. The blurbs about the people push units of collective propaganda terms. Nothing real about them.
I downloaded their annual report.
$830K in 'employee benefits' (salaries+ I suppose), $365K in admin expenses, $1.2m from 'contracts with customers', and nearly $500 admin expenses. I didn't find out who the 'customers' are, nor what the contracts are.
I searched on "pandemic" (1 hit), on "vacc" (0 hits), on "mandates" (1 hit - not related to vaccines).
I am sure many of the policy wonks, bureaucrats and politicians who were involved with its inception and refinement think they are doing good, but it's based on fundamental misconceptions about how collective truth-seeking works, so good intentions or bad, it's just a really shitty bill and needs to be dropped.

Thanks Luise, I'll pin your comment so that readers can see the link.

Climate, Voice and 5K+ petitions
I'm finding the relentless push for greater censorship by our authoritarian and deneraly low IQ leaders quite depressing.
As with "The Voice", they refuse to accept any rejection of their plans total control, and plough on regardless.
I really do fear for the future of humanity.

Good on him!!! That's a bit of free speaking from a medic. How's he getting away with it?
Well he has never undermined the mantra of vaccine safety, so he hasn't touched the sacred cow.
Ha! :)
🙏 this information will assist in making my submission more just just NO
It’s unworkable.
This is a good alternate main stream view. I guess they can’t stick any labels on him. Link ‘we got the mandates wrong’ isn’t working…
Thanks, fixed :)
We gotta give Nick some respect.
It may be a chance for Rebekah to interview Nick, etc :)
