Monica Smith has been on the front line of Australia s fight for freedom since August 2020. Most recently, she is internationally recognized as Australia s first political prisoner. She spent 22 days in solitary confinement, refusing to sign draconian bail conditions. The conditions were appealed and revoked, and she is now free to continue her work. In this episode, Monica talks about her experience in prison, the dangers of COID, and the growing number of concentration camps being built across the country. She also discusses the new legislation passed by Prime Minister Daniel Andrews, which allows for the government to call a pandemic for any reason, without any advice or advice from the Prime Minister, and why it s a good thing she didn t sign the bail conditions she was ordered to sign, because it would have meant she would have been sent to a concentration camp. Monica also discusses how dangerous it is to be a prisoner in one of these concentration camps, and how they are being designed for political dissidents, the unvaccinated, and those who don t want to comply with the new laws that are being passed by the government. She explains why the camps are a bad idea and why they need to be built in the first place, and who should be sent to them. She also explains how dangerous they are becoming and why we should be worried about them. It s not just about vaccines, but about what they are doing to keep us safe and secure in our communities, and whether or not they should be kept in concentration camps at all, and what they should do to keep them safe and protected from public safety.

00:00:27.000Well, there was a new bill put through Parliament just two weeks ago called the Permanent Pandemic Legislation.
00:00:33.000So Daniel Andrews, our Premier, can now call a pandemic for any reason without any advice or anything like that.
00:00:39.000And if someone is seen to be an aggressive Why were you imprisoned in the first place?
00:01:10.000So I was charged with incitement, which is meant for things like murder or things like that.
00:01:15.000So if I encourage someone to murder someone, I'm obviously also culpable for that crime.
00:01:20.000But in this case, they've found a loophole in the criminal system here.
00:01:25.000If I'm inciting someone to break a COVID direction, so if I tell someone not to wear a mask, for example, they now call that incitement, which is a criminal charge, even though the offence of not wearing a mask is actually only a finable offence.
00:01:42.000I shouldn't have been in that position.
00:01:44.000But I was charged with two counts of incitement and the bail conditions were the most.
00:01:49.000And my lawyer said they have seen people who have run through houses with machetes get less bail conditions than me.
00:01:56.000They wanted to completely shut down my organization, which is one of the most influential freedom movements in Australia.
00:02:02.000And they tried to shut down my political party at the time and all my staff would have lost their job and everyone would have lost a lot of hope.
00:02:09.000So I couldn't sign those bail conditions.
00:02:11.000So I went to prison and we had to appeal them.
00:02:14.000And because I didn't want to take a PCR test, they kept me in solitary confinement.
00:02:19.000So I had no sunshine, no outside time at all.
00:02:21.000For 22 days, but I got out and the bad bail conditions were taken away so I can still do my work, which is great.
00:02:28.000Let me ask you something on another subject, which is what is the status of those camps in Australia and are they actually being populated now and who are they being designed for?
00:02:41.000Well, there is already one in full operation in the Northern Territories and through the QR code check-in system, which is on the phones, people check in everywhere they go.
00:02:51.000They're very compliant, unfortunately.
00:02:53.000unfortunately, if you get caught to have been a close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID, then you are actually forced to go to this facility.
00:03:04.000And if you don't go, you'll get a $5,000 fine.
00:03:06.000You'll get approached by police and you'll get intimidated until you go.
00:03:11.000So most people go because, of course, the $5,000 fine is the average wage in Australia is about $40,000 a year.
00:03:32.000And, you know, two years ago, I would have felt paranoid to think that these concentration camps are actually designed for the political dissidents and the unvaccinated or the unclean, as they would say, But I'm sorry, there is no other way to look at this.
00:03:45.000They are for the unvaccinated and for those who don't want to comply and for maybe close contacts as well.
00:03:51.000But being staffed by prison guards and what's happening in Northern Territories.
00:03:54.000Now, if you leave your balcony, you get a $5,000 fine.
00:03:57.000If you break the rules, you get a $5,000 fine.
00:04:01.000Why would you escape if it was voluntary and if it was a nice environment?
00:04:05.000So the public sentiment towards the unvaccinated is already getting very bad.
00:04:10.000So I don't think it's a very big stretch for the media to announce one day, oh, we just had our first unvaccinated person go into this facility because they don't want to stay home.
00:04:29.000The people who are being shipped to those camps now, they're people who are exposed to COVID, whether they were vaccinated or unvaccinated, versus just unvaccinated people who are being sent there.
00:04:45.000They acknowledge that the vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID or prevent you from transmitting COVID. That's kind of an acknowledgement of that scientific fact, isn't it?
00:04:55.000Oh, it's funny because they acknowledge it in every way except for saying it straight up.
00:05:00.000I mean, the biggest cases we have now, the super spreader events, they've all had to show their green pass or their vaccination passport to get into this venue.
00:05:10.000So it's absolutely has made no difference to case transmission at all in Australia.
00:05:16.000In fact, our cases have never been so high.
00:05:18.000So you already have a vaccine passport in Australia?
00:05:25.000Does it just have vaccine information?
00:05:28.000Because what people are worried about it will be used to include other information about your social credit or just things that the government really has no business knowing.
00:05:42.000It really isn't a fast stretch of the imagination if the infrastructure is there.
00:05:46.000So far, the Australian government has taken every bit of power they could with every legislation during this pandemic.
00:05:52.000So it's definitely not paranoia to imagine that this will be used for other things.
00:05:56.000And they are putting through legislation about a digital passport as well.
00:06:00.000So all your information will be on this app.
00:06:03.000So it's, you know, they've conditioned us to check in everywhere to listen to all the advice.
00:06:10.000So if they were to say, oh, I'm going to just put your social credit, your credit system, like your financial credit score onto this app as well, people would be, some people would be quite accepting and think that that was quite convenient.
00:06:31.000Is this partially because of the Murdoch control of the papers in the country, or what is it that made the country fall so dramatically from democracy into totalitarian rule?
00:06:48.000Well, I think it's a range of things, but one of the biggest things that I think has contributed to this is we are very easygoing people.
00:06:55.000If anyone listening has met Australians, we're very easygoing.
00:07:46.000So we've been trained to look after our front yard.
00:07:49.000You know, if my front lawn is mowed, then I don't care about anyone else's.
00:07:53.000So until the pain has hit a really high level, that's when people will do something.
00:07:57.000And I will say that Australia has stood up in a very amazing way.
00:08:01.000In Victoria, three weeks ago, there was 700,000 people on the streets.
00:08:05.000The population of Victoria is only 6 million.
00:08:08.000So that's over 10% of the population was on the streets.
00:08:11.000So there's obviously double that or more at home that agree with the protesters.
00:08:15.000So I will say that because we've experienced the most pain, especially in Victoria, I mean, they closed playgrounds in Victoria at one point.
00:08:22.000So the point I'm trying to make is there is hope when humans are pushed up against the wall, they will retaliate.
00:08:27.000But the other thing is, is our premier, specifically Daniel Andrews, he's really in bed with the Chinese communist government.
00:08:34.000He's had over 40 visits to China since his premiership and he's been in power for about seven years.
00:08:40.000So we believe that there is a lot of influence from the Communist Party and he has tried to do some really shady deals with them and actually it's been stopped by the federal government, which is good.
00:08:50.000But Daniel Andrews is the worst premier in Australia, although he's followed very closely behind by other premiers.
00:08:58.000And when you have 750,000 people on the street, you know, we see over here, it's never on the mainstream media, what's happening in Australia and in our country.
00:09:10.000We see it on a kind of underground media.
00:09:16.000We can get a whole, you know, we see the videos, we see home videos that people are sending to the Defender or to other outlets, and it's really, it looks like a civil war.
00:09:27.000It really looks like a civil war, these battle with police.
00:09:30.000Does it feel like a civil war when you're there?
00:09:33.000And are all the police kind of monolithic on, you know, against the people on this?
00:09:40.000And finally, is there, is it being shown in Australia on the media?
00:09:46.000So when it's lockdown, police believe that human rights are suspended.
00:09:51.000So all bets are off if we're in a proper lockdown.
00:09:55.000And that's where you saw the scenes of the Civil War lookalikes.
00:09:58.000And yes, it was like being in a horror movie.
00:10:29.000And I think someone's going to get really hurt if this continues, if we have another lockdown.
00:10:33.000There definitely would be a select few police who, if they were given the order to go to someone's home and take them to a quarantine camp, i.e.
00:10:43.000concentration camp, they would do that.
00:11:01.000And there are some court cases going on at the moment that actually RDA are supporting against the Victorian police for this sort of behaviour.
00:11:09.000When you're one-on-one with the police, I think they actually don't like it, but their actions don't mirror that.
00:11:14.000And so I don't really have that much sympathy for it.
00:11:16.000Secondly, the mainstream media, it's interesting.
00:11:18.000I think the Australian mainstream media, they haven't quite figured out that they should just completely ignore everything to do with the freedom movement.
00:11:29.000They do lie about the numbers, but once in a while, they actually tell the truth.
00:11:33.000Once in a while, they don't call it an anti-vax protest and they call it something else, which it actually is, which is pro-freedom and pro-choice.
00:11:41.000Because of the pandemic legislation that recently in Victoria, that was really what caused a lot of ruckus here.
00:11:46.000So sometimes they reported and told the truth because everyone hated that bill.
00:11:51.000Even the Bar Association, which is our lawyer association, the Ombudsman, which is an independent oversight organization, that no one liked this bill.
00:11:58.000So it actually brought a lot of people together and they did report on it.
00:13:57.000We have over 110 community groups around Australia and they work autonomously within their communities and they all have around 50 or 60 members in them and they organise Christmas parties and empower each other and do letterbox drops and things like that.
00:14:10.000So yeah, we are very influential in that way.
00:14:14.000And political parties want to work with us because we have such a voice and RDA has kind of created its platform based on action.
00:14:21.000So the viewers are really ready to take action and that is the difference between someone who's just going to read something and someone who's going to act.
00:14:28.000But what we're hoping to do obviously is affect the next federal election and that's really our focus at the moment.
00:14:36.000So in our country, a charitable organization cannot lobby or do electioneering, but you can in Australia.
00:14:45.000Well, the difference is, is I'm a proprietary limited.
00:14:47.000So we didn't go for charity status because of that, because of that.
00:14:52.000So, we have to pay tax and GST. And even though we run as a not-for-profit, as in, we don't take any profits from the business.
00:15:00.000So, in theory, we're a not-for-profit, but on paper, we are a proprietary limited.
00:15:04.000So, our donations are called financial support, not donations.
00:15:13.000We have a business directory that people pay for as well.
00:15:16.000So we have a directory of businesses that won't discriminate.
00:15:19.000So there's a few revenue streams there to keep us alive, but it's tough going as well to pay all the bills, but we do all right.
00:15:27.000But, you know, I will just say that And you must be feeling this as well.
00:15:31.000Your organization is very active at heart too.
00:15:35.000And I feel like we are powerful in a way, but we're putting out all these spot fires without really getting to the source of the fire.
00:15:43.000So I'm trying to think of some bigger ideas and maybe we can work together offline, you know, worldwide ideas that can actually affect change straight away.
00:15:53.000I'm not sure, but I would love to discuss it.
00:15:56.000We would like to talk to you about it, and we will talk offline.
00:16:01.000Tell me about what's happening in the Aboriginal communities.
00:16:05.000Well, it's funny, they always refer to the Aboriginal communities in the media as vulnerable communities, like they have to get vaccinated as soon as possible because they're so vulnerable.
00:16:26.000So they have offered $500 for them to get the shots.
00:16:30.000They have intimidated them that they cannot leave the community.
00:16:33.000They cannot go play basketball or soccer at the local sporting facility.
00:16:37.000If they're not vaccinated for 12 year olds, you know, they're intimidating 12 year olds and no one really knows what goes on in those communities unless someone is there with a camera so they can get away with a lot.
00:16:46.000And yes, they are door knocking, giving vaccinations in Aboriginal communities.
00:16:51.000I think it's called Canavan in Western Australia.
00:16:53.000The only misinformation that did go viral overseas is that it wasn't the army taking people to the quarantine facilities.
00:17:01.000That's the only misinformation, but everything else people have seen is absolutely true.
00:17:05.000It's the local police who bring it there.
00:19:10.000And that's the message I always tell my people.
00:19:12.000And I've been saying lately that, you know, every day we wake up is one day closer to us getting our liberties back because it's just a matter of time, in my opinion.
00:19:20.000And also, it feels good to fight for something you believe in.
00:19:23.000And, you know, we can rest when we get our freedoms back.
