 G'day, it's Lushington Brady. I'm here on the lawns of Tasmania's Parliament House reporting on the Hobart League of the Worldwide Day for Freedom. Now the media have been telling us that these rallies are run by right-wing extremists and white supremacists, so I'm going to see if I can find any. You are white supremacists? I am, yes. Apparently I am, even though my grandmother's brother was part of the stolen generation, but yeah. Are you the right-wing extremist we keep hearing about? Apparently we are. With our soy lattes. Are you anti-baxis? No, no. My daughter? I'm daughter. So why are you the abortionist? I'm here today because the intrusion on our freedom, our body autonomy, it's not about being vaccinated or I'm vaccinated. There will be people here that are vaccinated and it's the freedom of choice and as long as people haven't done enough coercion, and unfortunately I think a lot of people have taken the shot because they're on the streets losing jobs, which is coercion, which is illegal. Coming from this Aboriginal heritage, we know what the government is capable of. My daughter's grandparents were in World War II, they're Polish, they're prisoners of war. We're just thinking that this is the start, the insidious start of the lack of freedom for people. You have got to be one of the right-wing extremists, white supremacists that are running this, that are behind all this. I mean just look at you. I'm going to be wondering, I've seen a lot of these protests, the upside down flames. It's the side of distress, the international side of distress. Our country's not far too corrupt. Our parliament's full of criminals, our commonwealth's been hijacked, and I want our commonwealth back. These parliamentarians just do whatever they want, whenever they want, and I've had a gut full of it. We the people rule the country, not them, and it's about time they learned that. You cannot, you just can't segregate. I think you'll find that most decent people, vaccinated or not, do not want to leave in a segregated society. Yeah, medical freedom. We don't want to force to be jammed, we need to do what we want. Are you against vaccinations in general? Not necessarily, I've been vaccinated for certain things, but after this big load of garbage I won't be getting vaccinated anymore. The whole thing of trying to mandate vaccines and stuff has actually made you more wary of them. It's made me want to do it less and less, the more they push for it. I actually was forced to take the jab, to defend my job. I got it a couple of days ago, I literally had no choice. That's why we're in distress. Five years in disability with high needs, individuals with autism, high needs, high demands. I actually was forced to take the jab, to defend my job. Disability is an industry founded on choice and a right of quality life for individuals, not just with special needs, but for everyone. That's an industry founded on choice. And the participants we work with, they have a choice. They have a choice whether they get it or not, but as far as their staff, we have no choice in getting it. What brings you out here today? Freedom of choice. Are you anti-vaccination in general? No, today I'm immunisation for tetanus last year. We are one. But we are an animal. We share a dream. Let's sing with what you are. We are Australian. We are born free. We are born with God, people free. We exercise free choice. I reckon you look like you've got to be one of the white supremacists far-right extremists telling us we're in on this. So why are you out here today? Freedom of choice. We believe in liberal democracy and freedom and we've been fighting for many years for those principles. My name's Steve Hindley and until recently I'd been a doctor for 34 years and 23 of those in Tasmania. I also took an oath to do several things. One of which was to treat all men as equals. Not to participate in medical apartheid. We are now, as the doctor said, a two-tiered citizenship. Those are a vexed and those who are not vexed. Perhaps the latter should go around with a yellow star on their brist. One thing that's strut out is that so many people have asked me if I'm independent media. When I tell them that I am, they've been very supportive. The mainstream media on the other hand... ... Are you going to tell the truth? I try to. We'd love it if you did. Are you independent? I am. Still rally-organising, intervene and ask the crowd to treat all media with respect. We're not going to affect the ballot boxes until we can affect more people. So we need to talk with other people who don't agree with us and convince them. We need media who are responsible for terrible coverage to actually turn up and hear these voices. So let's not shout them down. Let's have them in here. Let's have the cameras here and let's let them hear some logical arguments. Too few politicians have stood up in the defence of the people and our freedoms. And why do we keep on voting for the same parties? Liberal, Labour, National and the Greens. After all, they're the ones who've destroyed this nation of ours. The tactics that have been employed by this and just about every other Western government have guaranteed that the hospitals would be overburdened and guaranteed that you would all be there to watch when the cameras were rolling. So don't believe this nonsense. This is not how you deal with a pandemic. We've been telling social distancing rules to kids for the past 20 months. In childcare centres, kids have been discouraged from hugging each other. Imagine that. Toddlers, their socialisation at that age is so important and they're being taught not to connect physically with other people. What will that do for the next generation if we have this constant idea of other people are a danger to you? Keep away from them. What sort of neuroses are we creating in our young children? This idea that everywhere we go, no matter how short a time, period of time we're going to go passing by something, even if it's an outdoor event that we're going into, we need to constantly tell the government where we are. This idea that you have to constantly do that doesn't make any sense. If you want the government to be able to tell you at any stage that you've been in contact with someone, you can voluntarily do it. But right now we have a compulsory system where if you don't check in every time, hundreds of time in a day, you can face various fines. It does not matter if you've vaccinated or unvaccinated because remember what got drummed into us? My body, my choice. See folks, these are violating what you've heard about. Well I've seen a lot of different signs and heard all sorts of views here. To be fair, some of them were definitely what you'd call anti-vac. But most were not. And everyone agreed that freedom, freedom to take the vaccine or not to take it, was the issue. This is Washington Brady in Hobart for the BFD.
