00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today, a Thanksgiving special, the best of our recent Australian coverage.
00:00:06.400 It's not just Avi Amini. We've got a growing team down under.
00:00:10.120 Before I get to that, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
00:00:14.000 You get the video version, and that is so essential for our Australian coverage
00:00:18.680 because the visual spectacle of the police state that's emerging there is something you don't want to miss.
00:00:24.960 You'll be able to understand some of it with your ears, but this really is one for your eyes.
00:00:29.520 Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's $8 a month, which is a bargain, frankly.
00:00:34.520 We haven't raised that rate since we began. It's half the price of Netflix.
00:00:39.640 Anyways, check it out.
00:00:46.800 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.
00:00:49.220 Tonight, the best of our Australian coverage. It's August 11th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:03.660 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:09.540 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:13.620 The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:19.460 It's Thanksgiving, and traditionally, on these holidays, we run a best-of special show of compilations, some of our interesting work,
00:01:33.960 and I will show you the best of our recent Australian coverage.
00:01:37.460 But I saw a Jordan Peterson comment about the importance of Thanksgiving.
00:01:43.020 There's a lot of reasons to support Thanksgiving.
00:01:47.300 It's a holiday. It reminds us to be grateful for what we have.
00:01:51.840 We don't believe in smashing old statues or tearing down old customs, including holidays.
00:01:58.520 But he said that giving thanks is sort of a...
00:02:03.040 It inoculates you against a victim mentality because it reminds you of how good you have it.
00:02:10.020 I thought that was a good thing to keep in mind.
00:02:12.220 Anyways, that's all I have to say about Thanksgiving.
00:02:14.880 Instead, let me show you four of our best recent videos from Australia,
00:02:21.420 starting with the most hopeful thing I've seen around the world,
00:02:26.240 a blue-collar construction workers' union in the city of Melbourne
00:02:30.840 rebelling against its own union leadership for refusing to back them on vaccine exemptions.
00:02:38.320 Take a look at this.
00:02:40.720 I'm Yamini here for Rebel News in Melbourne, Australia.
00:02:44.040 We're outside the CFMEU headquarters where thousands of members are gathering
00:02:50.160 to protest the health tyranny here in Victoria.
00:02:55.080 No police, barely a couple of police is blocking the road.
00:02:58.080 No police.
00:02:59.340 I suspect they are a little bit concerned about taking on this lot.
00:03:04.440 We're here all day to bring you the exclusive story to rebelnews.com.au.
00:03:09.340 We'll tell you the other side of this story.
00:03:12.060 Watch this space.
00:03:14.040 You know where I stand.
00:03:21.160 You don't have to bring this history going.
00:03:23.840 So where are you going?
00:03:24.920 We've been there as people.
00:03:26.500 You want us to shut down?
00:03:32.080 So you want us to shut the whole news?
00:03:35.960 We can get problem.
00:03:37.700 Awesome.
00:03:51.280 What are you doing?
00:03:52.400 Stop it.
00:03:53.080 Don't get ready.
00:03:53.480 Take care.
00:03:54.120 The sec ні will.
00:03:54.660 Stay down.
00:03:55.200 Take care.
00:03:55.360 The secattendwie.
00:03:57.080 Every day, every day, every day, every day.
00:04:11.960 Ravie! Ravie! Ravie! Ravie! Ravie!
00:04:18.900 If you think this story is important, make sure to like, comment and share.
00:04:22.940 And if you are anything likes this lot that love the truth,
00:04:24.960 head over to your mini-report.com,
00:04:26.620 Give us your name and email, and we'll send you the other side of the story from the front line.
00:04:34.240 I tell you, the police began a week-long attack on anyone who looked like a construction worker.
00:04:42.020 I don't know if you've seen obvious other videos.
00:04:43.700 Literally, if you were walking down the street and had, like, a high-visibility vest on or a hard hat, police would tackle you.
00:04:51.240 Pure police state stuff, just out of control.
00:04:53.360 So, Mario Malik did this video for us from Sydney, but not just any part of Sydney, from a heavily ethnic, actually heavily Muslim part of Sydney.
00:05:05.020 I found it heartbreaking, very touching, and so have Rebel viewers.
00:05:09.800 This is the most viewed video that we have had, I think, in 2021.
00:05:16.700 I'd have to check that, but this is over a million views on all our different platforms.
00:05:20.820 Take a look.
00:05:21.980 It's intimidating.
00:05:23.360 It's scary.
00:05:25.320 They're everywhere.
00:05:26.740 They're everywhere.
00:05:28.380 Scary as there were drones, helicopters.
00:05:35.640 And when you ask them, they just say, oh, we're just maintaining public health order.
00:05:39.320 Police are setting up a road checkpoint just over here, right to the entry of the Bass Hill Shopping Centre.
00:05:49.660 So, this is the Bass Hill Plaza in Western Sydney, where police have launched an enormous operation.
00:05:55.280 Warning.
00:05:56.640 Censorship.
00:05:57.120 So, the inspector knows we're here.
00:05:58.120 So, the inspector knows we're here.
00:06:00.060 He's looking at us, and he's just calling for backup.
00:06:02.120 So, let's see how this one goes.
00:06:04.460 How are you guys?
00:06:05.460 Good morning, sir.
00:06:06.460 Good morning.
00:06:07.460 Good morning.
00:06:08.460 Where are you from, mate?
00:06:09.460 Rebel News, sir.
00:06:10.460 Okay.
00:06:11.460 Yep.
00:06:12.460 We're a Canadian media outlet.
00:06:13.460 Okay.
00:06:14.460 Yep.
00:06:15.460 You know you need to wear a mask?
00:06:16.460 Not while we're on camera.
00:06:17.460 Practically everyone who's walking into the shopping centre or driving into the shopping centre is being stopped, and it's a bizarre scene, but locals are saying that this is becoming the norm here.
00:06:32.460 Around here, lately, yeah, I think the sad reality is it's becoming the new norm, alright, and people are getting used to this, and they don't understand that this is becoming the police state.
00:06:44.460 What I've seen is f***ing chaos is what I've seen.
00:06:47.460 What is going on?
00:06:49.460 It's been very traumatic to come here, I have to say.
00:06:53.460 Turned up to about 50 police standing at the front door.
00:06:56.460 Did you know about any rallies today?
00:06:58.460 No.
00:06:59.460 Had no idea about any rally.
00:07:00.460 So, you've just come to your local shopping centre, and you're greeted with this?
00:07:04.460 Yep.
00:07:05.460 And still greeted with this.
00:07:06.460 They're inside, they're outside, they're everywhere.
00:07:08.460 Massive show of force.
00:07:10.460 And wondering why Bass Hill Plaza this morning is having this problem.
00:07:14.460 There's no indication of any violence or anything else there, but we're all wondering why as we're coming out with so many police.
00:07:21.460 So, keep fingers crossed.
00:07:23.460 Are you here to protest today?
00:07:24.460 Absolutely not.
00:07:25.460 So, as you can see behind me, every single person is being stopped.
00:07:30.460 The young, the elderly, every person is being checked by police.
00:07:38.460 You can see that the plaza is the only people here for shopping.
00:07:40.460 There's no more social life anymore.
00:07:42.460 You know what I mean?
00:07:43.460 Everything's online.
00:07:44.460 So, that's what we want, man.
00:07:46.460 The West just wants their life back.
00:07:48.460 That's all it is.
00:07:49.460 Man, I really don't understand.
00:07:50.460 Our kids are going through hard times at home.
00:07:53.460 Schooling and looking after the kids at home.
00:07:56.460 And people partying out in the eastern suburbs and carrying on like normal.
00:08:00.460 Man, they just sit at home and look at four walls all day.
00:08:03.460 So, we do go out for walks.
00:08:05.460 But what's a walk every day?
00:08:06.460 You know, kids want to go on a playground.
00:08:08.460 Kids want to do things.
00:08:09.460 We actually get it.
00:08:10.460 If you go down to Georges River, if you look at Bondi, the swings are all out.
00:08:13.460 If you go down to Georges River, they've locked up the swings.
00:08:15.460 What do you think that is?
00:08:16.460 What are they saying for what?
00:08:18.460 I mean, because of COVID, not catching COVID or anything.
00:08:20.460 But, you know, we've got masks.
00:08:22.460 We've got sanitizers.
00:08:23.460 I think it's wrong how they've got all these police here.
00:08:26.460 Like, such as my daughter.
00:08:28.460 It does scare them off.
00:08:29.460 Like, it gives them mixed messages.
00:08:31.460 So, you don't know whether to like them or hate them.
00:08:35.460 And these, you know, I'm going to call them dogs.
00:08:37.460 I used to respect the cops.
00:08:39.460 But after a couple of incidents that I've seen in front of me here,
00:08:42.460 people get treated differently on their skin colour or religion
00:08:46.460 and what areas they're, their postcodes.
00:08:48.460 They're not going to leave us alone.
00:08:50.460 We tell our kids to respect the cops and they don't even respect us, the dogs.
00:08:54.460 What do you do?
00:08:55.460 And, I mean, like, I feel that we are being targeted.
00:08:58.460 This is causing massive mental health issues to everyone.
00:09:02.460 And everyone's just exploding because they've got nowhere else to go.
00:09:07.460 Let us free.
00:09:09.460 So, there is a drone flying overhead searching the local streets and the parks around this shopping centre.
00:09:16.460 Police command is right behind us.
00:09:18.460 There is an enormous police presence here.
00:09:20.460 We've spoken to so many people who feel distressed by what's happening.
00:09:23.460 And it's going to be interesting to see how the mainstream media covers this story.
00:09:27.460 They were arresting a girl when I arrived.
00:09:30.460 Didn't even know if I can just do my plane shopping.
00:09:32.460 So, we've been looking for you.
00:09:34.460 Did they take you away?
00:09:36.460 They took my phone off me.
00:09:38.460 They took my belongings off me.
00:09:40.460 They searched me.
00:09:42.460 They arrested me.
00:09:44.460 Did some checks, whatever they did.
00:09:46.460 Only because I came to my local shopping centre.
00:09:48.460 I live down the road.
00:09:50.460 Have they fined you for anything?
00:09:51.460 Yes.
00:09:52.460 What for?
00:09:53.460 Yes, I do.
00:09:54.460 Which they've checked upon entering.
00:09:55.460 This isn't governing anymore.
00:09:56.460 It's a dystopia.
00:09:57.460 I'm a second-class citizen.
00:09:58.460 No matter how educated I am.
00:09:59.460 No matter how much taxes I pay.
00:10:00.460 No matter what I do.
00:10:01.460 I have a clean record.
00:10:02.460 I have a...
00:10:03.460 It's intimidating.
00:10:04.460 It's constant anxiety.
00:10:05.460 It's...
00:10:06.460 I mean, you know, you can't govern with fear-mongering.
00:10:09.460 It's...
00:10:10.460 I mean, you know, you can't govern with fear-mongering.
00:10:22.460 History has shown that you can't do so.
00:10:25.460 I've just started a plumbing company and I'm fresh to the company.
00:10:28.460 I've just got my contractor's licence, which makes me legible to start a company and start working.
00:10:33.460 As soon as I've started to advertise and distribute, lockdowns came in.
00:10:37.460 We can't go nowhere.
00:10:38.460 Can't come nowhere.
00:10:39.460 I've got to pay rent.
00:10:40.460 I've got free kids.
00:10:41.460 Like, I'm really impacted.
00:10:44.460 I've got, you know, repayments on vehicles, regos.
00:10:47.460 I've lost a big income.
00:10:49.460 I'm now on a business grant from the government.
00:10:51.460 But what's that do?
00:10:52.460 Pay my rent?
00:10:53.460 And feed my kids?
00:10:54.460 That's all it does?
00:10:55.460 We can't even, like, buy clothes, put shoes on us.
00:10:58.460 We can't even enjoy our life anymore.
00:11:00.460 So you said that you're a nurse.
00:11:02.460 How long have you been a nurse for?
00:11:03.460 And if you can tell us.
00:11:04.460 Some years.
00:11:05.460 Some years.
00:11:06.460 Many years.
00:11:07.460 Yeah.
00:11:08.460 So I was stood down the other day and it's just outrageous.
00:11:13.460 And why were you stood down?
00:11:15.460 Because I wouldn't take the vaccine.
00:11:18.460 That's exactly why.
00:11:19.460 It's just not on.
00:11:21.460 It just can't happen.
00:11:22.460 It just can't happen.
00:11:24.460 I'm very upset about it.
00:11:25.460 As I said to patients, we don't walk up to them and just give them an injection.
00:11:30.460 We say, hey, Mrs Jones, we'll give this injection to you.
00:11:33.460 Yeah, we do that.
00:11:34.460 We do your blood pressure.
00:11:36.460 If they don't want a blood pressure done, if they don't want an injection done or a tablet,
00:11:41.460 we write refused.
00:11:42.460 And that's it.
00:11:43.460 It's divided us.
00:11:46.460 I don't feel like I'm Australian.
00:11:49.460 I honestly don't feel like I'm Australian, you know, regardless of who you are.
00:11:55.460 I'm a second class citizen only because I come from a certain demographic, a certain area.
00:12:03.460 And yeah, if I lived east or north, I think things would be different.
00:12:09.460 But this is what it is.
00:12:11.460 How do you think it's affected the community here?
00:12:14.460 Because we've been greeted with an incredible reception, people giving us free food, free coffee.
00:12:19.460 It's actually a really loving community.
00:12:23.460 How do you feel it's affecting you guys?
00:12:25.460 This community can't go wrong.
00:12:27.460 If someone's broken down, there's always a car stopping to help.
00:12:30.460 If there's a flat tyre, there's always someone stopping to help.
00:12:33.460 So that's the best thing about the West.
00:12:36.460 It never stops working.
00:12:37.460 It keeps going.
00:12:38.460 I don't see why the police have to come out in such numbers just to stop people from voicing their concerns over what is clearly a regime of tyranny.
00:12:49.460 You can't even go to the supermarket and get a bottle of water and this is what happens.
00:12:54.460 So as far as I'm concerned, Australia is dead and buried if this regime continues.
00:12:59.460 And people need to really stand up and say no.
00:13:02.460 Because this is not on.
00:13:03.460 And I won't tolerate it and no one else should either.
00:13:06.460 Okay, so right now this elderly couple are being stopped and they're being told that they can't actually have two people in the vehicle.
00:13:26.460 But they seem like an elderly couple who is visibly distressed by what's going on.
00:13:31.460 So these are the stories that need to be heard out of Sydney and out of southwestern Sydney.
00:13:34.460 If you want to continue helping us doing the work that we do, please head over to sydneyreporters.com and give what you can.
00:13:39.460 So we can keep telling you the other side of the story.
00:13:43.460 How are you sir?
00:13:44.460 You got some mask?
00:13:45.460 Sorry?
00:13:46.460 You got some mask?
00:13:47.460 Mr. Steve Padden told us, sir, obviously we don't have to because we're journalists.
00:13:49.460 We're on camera.
00:13:50.460 So as long as we're on camera, we don't have to wear a mask.
00:13:52.460 And you can speak to Mr. Steve Padden on the outside.
00:13:54.460 Yeah, you are here.
00:13:55.460 I do, sir.
00:13:56.460 Mr. Steve Padden has already checked it.
00:13:57.460 Yeah.
00:13:58.460 I think it's like Steve Padden.
00:13:59.460 We'd be fine.
00:14:00.460 They're on media.
00:14:01.460 They know what to get out.
00:14:03.460 We've already spoken with Steve Padden and he knows that we're here.
00:14:06.460 So you guys can check in with him.
00:14:08.460 Are you getting attention?
00:14:09.460 Me?
00:14:10.460 I'm on camera.
00:14:11.460 I'm working, sir.
00:14:12.460 Oh, okay.
00:14:13.460 Yeah, we're done.
00:14:14.460 Yeah, alright.
00:14:15.460 Thanks, guys.
00:14:16.460 Have you bought anything that's demanded this type of police attention?
00:14:20.460 No, I haven't.
00:14:21.460 You sure?
00:14:22.460 Is there anything inside the bag?
00:14:23.460 No.
00:14:24.460 No.
00:14:25.460 No.
00:14:26.460 Come down to Mathemat Law.
00:14:28.460 Has this affected your business today?
00:14:30.460 Yeah, yeah.
00:14:31.460 Yeah, it has.
00:14:32.460 Oh, no worries, buddy.
00:14:34.460 Anyway, what else do you want to know, man?
00:14:36.460 I reckon this is on the show.
00:14:37.460 You went shopping today?
00:14:38.460 Yeah.
00:14:39.460 And you've been stopped about...
00:14:40.460 Ten times.
00:14:41.460 Ten times.
00:14:42.460 Why?
00:14:43.460 I don't know, mate.
00:14:44.460 Maybe because I'm good looking.
00:14:45.460 So, how's it affected your business today?
00:14:47.460 Oh, yeah.
00:14:48.460 All of this police in front of my shop.
00:14:49.460 No more customers.
00:14:50.460 I need more customers.
00:14:51.460 If he's want to come in, buy one meat and cheese, get a free can of coke.
00:14:54.460 If you want to come down, ask for Joe.
00:14:58.460 We're doing the investigation.
00:14:59.460 Sorry, guys.
00:15:00.460 If you just wait for a moment.
00:15:01.460 Can you tell us what's in the cup?
00:15:02.460 It's a bit of water.
00:15:03.460 It's a bit of water.
00:15:04.460 With what?
00:15:05.460 MDMA.
00:15:06.460 Cut.
00:15:07.460 Cut.
00:15:08.460 Not really a cup, but I think we should search this plan.
00:15:10.460 Alright.
00:15:11.460 We're going to get back to work.
00:15:13.460 Well, we're not just in Sydney and Melbourne.
00:15:16.460 We've got a great young team in Brisbane.
00:15:19.460 Can you believe it?
00:15:20.460 I mean, we've got a super big team in Canada now, as you know.
00:15:23.460 We just hired Kelly Lamb in Saskatchewan.
00:15:25.460 I think that brings us to 18 reporters in Canada.
00:15:29.460 But we're growing in Australia, too.
00:15:31.460 There's so much demand for the other side of the story.
00:15:34.460 Here's our Brisbane team in the state of Queensland.
00:15:37.460 Anything that's happening at the moment?
00:15:41.460 A lot more police presence than last time.
00:15:44.460 Freedom and hope.
00:15:47.460 Well, it's for them.
00:15:50.460 The children.
00:15:52.460 Rebel, we love you.
00:15:55.460 Right, so we should find another way home.
00:15:58.460 Hey guys, this is Yasmin from Rebel News, Brisbane, Australia.
00:16:08.460 As you can see, this march is absolutely incredible today.
00:16:11.460 To keep on showing the other side of the story, we need your support.
00:16:15.460 So please go to BrisbaneReporters.com and donate now.
00:16:19.460 Because you wouldn't want to miss this.
00:16:23.460 I'm at the end now.
00:16:24.460 They're at the beginning, you know.
00:16:26.460 That's what it's all about, isn't it?
00:16:28.460 Yeah, that's exactly what it's about.
00:16:30.460 These little ones.
00:16:34.460 The future of these ones we need to look out for.
00:16:36.460 So I had to come to this one.
00:16:38.460 I've been to all the others.
00:16:40.460 That's awesome.
00:16:41.460 How many have you been to?
00:16:43.460 Oh, since 2020.
00:16:45.460 And now just comes a time that they're creating a divide.
00:16:48.460 Divide and conquer.
00:16:49.460 Do you know whether they're vax or no vax?
00:16:51.460 And it's very simple.
00:16:52.460 There's a choice whether they take the antivirus or not.
00:16:56.460 Right?
00:16:57.460 The people that take it, right, they can do what they like.
00:17:01.460 But the people that don't take it, it's their choice.
00:17:03.460 They have to suffer the consequences if they do get it.
00:17:09.460 There is no.
00:17:10.460 People aren't stupid anymore.
00:17:11.460 You've educated people.
00:17:12.460 So this is the future.
00:17:14.460 And we should all be proud of it and we should stand under it,
00:17:17.460 stand together and fight for it.
00:17:19.460 And let the very spirit flow through you all.
00:17:22.460 The rebel news, I'm a bit of a supporter of the army,
00:17:28.460 so it's good to see you.
00:17:29.460 Get real news.
00:17:30.460 Yes.
00:17:31.460 You're the only news I listen to.
00:17:34.460 There are some people and our leaders are showing them
00:17:37.460 that it's okay to do that.
00:17:39.460 If the seven news came after me,
00:17:41.460 the only thing I would say is...
00:17:42.460 Rebel news are the best.
00:17:43.460 So then they can't do shit.
00:17:44.460 Yeah, so what does your umbrella say?
00:17:47.460 A bit of everything, actually.
00:17:49.460 We've got some Trump ones.
00:17:51.460 Mainstream media equals fake news.
00:17:54.460 What's that one?
00:17:55.460 World in crisis.
00:17:56.460 Peace, love and unity.
00:17:58.460 Leave our children alone.
00:18:00.460 Our body, our choice.
00:18:02.460 If not now, when?
00:18:04.460 And free Monica Smith.
00:18:05.460 You know, there's quite a few people here
00:18:07.460 that are just here because of the mandate and the choice thing
00:18:10.460 and that's the only reason we're here.
00:18:12.460 We need a movement.
00:18:14.460 Lockdown.
00:18:18.460 I'm glad for so many people standing up today.
00:18:20.460 It's a real, real good one.
00:18:23.460 Saying what we're doing is starting to cause
00:18:25.460 a little bit of anxiety for these guys behind the desk
00:18:28.460 and they just have to keep doing what they're doing.
00:18:34.460 Her partner did this shirt for me last night.
00:18:36.460 But yeah, it's for my deaf rights generally.
00:18:40.460 Thank you so much.
00:18:41.460 How did I do it for my first one?
00:18:43.460 Amazing.
00:18:44.460 You did like show everything that needed to be showed
00:18:46.460 in the best flexible way and showed the real message.
00:18:49.460 Thank you.
00:18:50.460 You've got to rise above it.
00:18:52.460 Keep your mind healthy.
00:18:53.460 It's a mental war.
00:19:04.460 I'm disgusted in our government.
00:19:05.460 I've taken orders all my friggin' life
00:19:07.460 and to see people put in jail for incitement,
00:19:10.460 for protesting or speaking out against what's happening,
00:19:14.460 it disgusts me.
00:19:15.460 Australia stand proud, stand as one.
00:19:18.460 We are one, we are many.
00:19:19.460 Stand up for freedom, otherwise we'll lose it all.
00:19:22.460 I believe everybody has the right choice.
00:19:27.460 I stand for our kids, man.
00:19:28.460 I stand for the future generations and their freedoms.
00:19:31.460 They don't let us work, but they still expect the rent.
00:19:34.460 They can buy our hands off our children, I say.
00:19:36.460 No newspapers, no TV, no radio.
00:19:39.460 This energy is incredible.
00:19:41.460 Go Arbony, go Jodie.
00:19:43.460 And the People's Revolution March has shut it down.
00:19:46.460 There must be 25,000 people here from the top
00:19:50.460 all the way up to the bottom of Queen Street Mall.
00:20:02.460 I haven't spoken to such a large audience ever.
00:20:04.460 Lockdown, anti our government.
00:20:07.460 People need to be informed of what they're doing,
00:20:10.460 how they're doing it, you know.
00:20:11.460 There's not enough information out there.
00:20:13.460 People have a right to protest what they believe.
00:20:15.460 They have a free choice.
00:20:17.460 They're going straight down the gurgle.
00:20:19.460 Brisbane has done Australia proud.
00:20:24.460 As you can see today, an incredible march of 25,000 people.
00:20:30.460 We had children, grandmothers, tradies, nurses.
00:20:35.460 Everyone's fighting for their freedom here today.
00:20:38.460 But in order to keep giving you the other side of the story,
00:20:41.460 we need your support.
00:20:42.460 So please go to BrisbaneReporters.com and donate now.
00:20:45.460 Because you don't want to miss these stories.
00:20:48.460 This is a mark in history.
00:20:50.460 A lot of power in the march today. A lot of power.
00:20:53.460 Well, of course, the star of our Australia contingent
00:20:57.460 is our chief Australia correspondent, Avi Yamini,
00:21:01.460 who's got a great sense of humor, very smart, high energy.
00:21:05.460 He's very quick on his feet.
00:21:07.460 And he needs all that because the police,
00:21:10.460 well, they do everything they can to shut him up.
00:21:13.460 He knows the law better than they do.
00:21:16.460 And we provide, Avi, as you know, with insurance, with bodyguards, and with lawyers.
00:21:24.460 And in this video, you'll see two out of those three supports manifest themselves.
00:21:30.460 Avi is an outstanding journalist, and it is my honor to be able to provide him
00:21:35.460 with the protection he needs in the form of lawyers, insurance, and bodyguards
00:21:39.460 to do world-class journalism.
00:21:41.460 This is an incredible video. Take a look.
00:21:44.460 Well, I'm here to discuss your right to be here.
00:21:47.460 I appreciate that you're reporting on behalf of the media,
00:21:50.460 but there is criteria that has to be met for people to be in the city today.
00:21:53.460 Yep.
00:21:54.460 Do you have a worker's permit?
00:21:55.460 Absolutely, mate. Third time's a charm.
00:21:57.460 How many times are you guys going to...
00:21:59.460 Can you send a message out once I show you it, that I've showed it three times, and we're good?
00:22:02.460 Thank you.
00:22:03.460 Do your off-siders like those as well?
00:22:05.460 You know what? We do well at Rebel News.
00:22:07.460 Cover yourself.
00:22:08.460 We're just going to record them.
00:22:12.460 You're going to record my details? Mate, you and I both know my details.
00:22:15.460 You probably know my details better than I know my details.
00:22:17.460 These people don't.
00:22:18.460 Yeah, we've done that. We did that.
00:22:21.460 Oh, you got it all? There you go.
00:22:23.460 Yeah, these guys are all right. You should keep them.
00:22:25.460 Is that this gentleman's?
00:22:26.460 Uh, is that your one? Did you give me that one?
00:22:28.460 Yeah.
00:22:29.460 Yeah, yeah.
00:22:30.460 You see, this is all right. We don't mind.
00:22:33.460 When they come up respectfully and check your papers like they did in Nazi Germany, we're cool with that.
00:22:40.460 It's just when they unlawfully arrest and assault us and our staff, that's when there's a problem.
00:22:50.460 Can I just take a look at yours again, Harvey? Sorry.
00:22:52.460 We just need to have a look. This one seems to be expired.
00:22:54.460 Thank you.
00:22:55.460 Your new security.
00:22:57.460 What has it passed your date?
00:22:59.460 Oh, I thought it was 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, is my understanding.
00:23:04.460 So just ask, call the security company, tell them to send you a new one now.
00:23:07.460 Yeah, I need to just get a new one sent out, but I thought it was...
00:23:13.460 Yours doesn't have a roster or schedule of workers.
00:23:15.460 No, it says all weeks. That's ongoing, all weeks.
00:23:19.460 Do you want me to tick it? It's me that signs it.
00:23:24.460 Well, it is me that signs it.
00:23:26.460 That's just masks rules, just in case, because I've noticed some of your officers need the education.
00:23:31.460 I reckon I should be giving classes at Vic Pol Academy.
00:23:35.460 I'm willing to donate my time.
00:23:38.460 Too kind. Give us a moment.
00:23:42.460 All weeks, he said I've got to just tick that box, but it's all weeks those times.
00:23:46.460 Yeah.
00:23:47.460 So I've just got to... Have you got a pen? I'm the one that filled that for him.
00:23:49.460 I'm happy to tick that for him.
00:23:51.460 Okay. You do that for me.
00:23:53.460 Listen, these paperwork, it gets very confusing.
00:23:56.460 Paperwork's all our job.
00:23:58.460 No, it isn't. These days it's also arresting, unarmed.
00:24:02.460 Come on.
00:24:04.460 I'm good to see... I'm happy to see you guys without any rubber bullet guns here.
00:24:08.460 I'll take your pen signing and charge with theft.
00:24:11.460 I don't have it to answer.
00:24:13.460 You're alright, I like you.
00:24:15.460 This is the ludicracy of it all.
00:24:17.460 They know exactly why I'm here.
00:24:19.460 They know it's legitimate purpose.
00:24:21.460 What they're checking out is if there's a technicality on the paperwork, can it be fixed?
00:24:30.460 Anyways, I'll call the lawyer because we might as well get that sorted now.
00:24:33.460 You've got a lawyer working on a server, eh?
00:24:35.460 Well, you know, you guys are funny, so I need a lawyer 24-7 with you guys.
00:24:40.460 They like to play those old tricks, finding those technicalities.
00:24:44.460 They're sipping lattes right now, isn't they?
00:24:46.460 How you doing, Madeline?
00:24:47.460 The police here are so surprised that they have a lawyer on standby on a Saturday.
00:24:52.460 They're impressed.
00:24:53.460 My lawyer's on the phone, she just wants to know what's the issue with that one.
00:24:56.460 We just need to confirm that they're all valid.
00:24:58.460 They seem to be incomplete to me.
00:25:00.460 So we're just getting someone down here who's aware of these
00:25:02.460 and how they need to be filled in to check them out.
00:25:04.460 And then once that's done, we'll be able to confirm.
00:25:06.460 So you're saying to me, you're so confused by these permits
00:25:09.460 that you don't know how it works.
00:25:10.460 Just getting someone down to confirm it all.
00:25:12.460 And we're expected to fill them out.
00:25:14.460 He's got to get an expert.
00:25:16.460 Did you hear that, Madeline?
00:25:17.460 She advises that basically, if you believe it's legit
00:25:20.460 and there's a problem with the way we filled it out,
00:25:22.460 we're happy to fill it, fix it.
00:25:25.460 You guys good?
00:25:26.460 Yeah, mine's good.
00:25:27.460 Oh, that was good the whole time.
00:25:28.460 So they just mucked with you.
00:25:30.460 All right.
00:25:31.460 No worries.
00:25:32.460 Daniel's was actually kosher.
00:25:33.460 It was...
00:25:34.460 I think the academy needs some training on these papers.
00:25:39.460 I think we might need to educate them.
00:25:41.460 I offered my services.
00:25:42.460 Anyways, I'll speak to you.
00:25:43.460 Bye.
00:25:47.460 So yours was cool.
00:25:48.460 Yeah, mine's good.
00:25:49.460 I think mine's fine as well.
00:25:50.460 I just got to tick that box.
00:25:51.460 Do you want me to tick that box?
00:25:52.460 I counted mine correctly.
00:25:55.460 Big man.
00:25:56.460 I'm happy to tick that box and then it's complete.
00:26:00.460 It's just fine.
00:26:01.460 Look, they've called in a specialist in their specialist vehicle,
00:26:05.460 unmarked police vehicle, to make sure that our paperwork is kosher.
00:26:09.460 This is because science.
00:26:13.460 The science says that if your permit isn't ticked in the right box,
00:26:19.460 things can get deadly.
00:26:20.460 They're really trying hard to invalidate those permits.
00:26:24.460 How are you going, officer?
00:26:25.460 Good.
00:26:26.460 Boss?
00:26:27.460 So they're satisfied with that, so that's fine.
00:26:28.460 They're satisfied?
00:26:29.460 Oh.
00:26:30.460 Okay.
00:26:31.460 So there's your workers' permits.
00:26:32.460 You know, for my own reference, which specialist division made sure that this is kosher?
00:26:37.460 So I can speak to the next person who stops me.
00:26:39.460 Yeah, it's from our prosecutions, our legal people.
00:26:41.460 Oh, the legal?
00:26:42.460 Oh, they know me well.
00:26:43.460 We're on first name basis.
00:26:44.460 So you got your workers' permit.
00:26:45.460 You're free to go.
00:26:46.460 That's fine.
00:26:47.460 Obviously, you know not to get in our way if things do get out.
00:26:50.460 We know that better than anyone.
00:26:51.460 Thanks, Harvey.
00:26:52.460 Have a good day.
00:26:53.460 No worries.
00:26:54.460 So that took 20 minutes for the police to verify and validate that our workers' permit
00:26:57.460 are legit, even though they know exactly what we're doing here.
00:27:00.460 They have to call the specialist legal department of Victoria Police to confirm it.
00:27:04.460 I have a feeling it was really just to hold us up so we can't get to doing our job.
00:27:09.460 Maybe we should charge them with hindering a journalist.
00:27:12.460 But here we go.
00:27:13.460 We're going to continue our work.
00:27:15.460 Let's go to the protest.
00:27:20.460 You know, the saddest thing from this whole story is that I've become most immune to this
00:27:27.460 COVID crazy enforcement.
00:27:30.460 To me, that whole interaction is an everyday occurrence.
00:27:34.460 But the fact that a journalist in 2021 in a so-called free and democratic country has
00:27:41.460 to walk around and show his papers, papers that, by the way, police don't even know how
00:27:46.460 they fill out properly themselves and that police can then detain him for, I think it
00:27:51.460 was about 20 minutes, stopping me from doing my job.
00:27:55.460 That is unacceptable and the world needs to see it.
00:27:58.460 So please, share this story far and wide.
00:28:01.460 Let the world know what's happening in Melbourne, Australia.
00:28:04.460 If you want to get behind one of our fights, well, Daniel, our security guard, not long ago,
00:28:08.460 was arrested doing his job.
00:28:10.460 Not that day.
00:28:11.460 After we filed in the Supreme Court.
00:28:13.460 But if you want to help us fight back, go to StandWithDaniel.com.
00:28:17.460 You can see the full story there.
00:28:19.460 And you can chip in a few bucks to help us with that Supreme Court case.
00:28:23.460 Well, that's our show for today.
00:28:25.460 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
00:28:29.460 good night.
00:28:30.460 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:28:32.460 Very nice to have loved you.
00:28:42.460 You can find out who you are.
