21.01.2022 Just a few photos from our inaugural KIG dinner. It was a cracking success with so much enthusiasm for an independent political platform!
20.01.2022 What a disappointing week. Standing up for integrity in our electoral system seems a tall order in Australia. I am challanging and testing the right to mislead and decieve voter. I am not challenging Josh's citizenship ( S44). Josh is more Australian than I am. That said we are all subject to the same laws. The last federal election must have been a record for tactics and stunts that were designed to deceive voters and achieve victory at any price, including the value in our ...Continue reading

14.01.2022 Media Release following court case The Court has found that the Liberal Party engaged in misleading conduct, in contravention of the law, by attempting to deceive Chinese-speaking voters to cast their vote contrary to their preference. The conduct was an attempt to undermine our democracy, and it was critically important that it be called out. The Court has vindicated that decision and made a clear and unambiguous statement that this kind of conduct is against the law and mus...Continue reading

07.01.2022 NEW CASE UPDATE The final hearings of the misleading and deceptive purple signs cases against Gladys Liu and Josh Frydenberg will be held in the Federal Court (sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns) in Melbourne, on 6 to 8 November. The Court will be deciding whether the Chinese language signs posted by the Liberal candidates at polling booths all over Chisholm and Kooyong on election day were misleading or deceptive (an offence under the Commonwealth Electoral Act) and wh...ether this made the election results in those seats unsafe so that they should be declared void and fresh by-elections held. The position of the Liberal Party in these cases is not easy to work out: they have admitted that the signs accurately translated as instructing voters that the correct way to vote was to put 1 next to the Liberal candidate, but they are claiming that that’s not what they intended the signs to say. Their defence seems to be that they stuffed up the translation! Seriously. The Liberals also admit that the signs were in AEC colours and had no Liberal party branding on them, contrary to the party’s own official guidelines for advertising material (which is all in Liberal blue and plastered with the party name and logo). Their own documents show that they intended the signs to look like AEC material. The main issue in dispute is who knew what and when. This is not just the Libs, but the AEC too. Frydenberg denies any knowledge of the signs at all. Liu says she doesn’t admit that she knew about them, but agrees it can be inferred that she saw them! What on earth that is supposed to mean, is anyone’s guess. As for the AEC, it knew about the signs from very early on election day, as the complaints started immediately and continued pouring in all day long. The AEC did nothing, and its only interest in the court case seems to be to defend its own inaction and failure to enforce the law. In the end, we think there’s a simple question here: is what the Liberals admit they did on election day in creating and posting these signs, okay? Is it okay for a major party to make up signs designed to look like official AEC directions, which explicitly tell voters that the only way to vote correctly is to vote for them? As we all know, following directions has cultural meaning in China and not following directions is a risky thing! It is intimidating and a cultural challenge to act against a direction. If that is acceptable behaviour, then what wouldn’t be? That is why we’re fighting this case. Our legal team is working flat out getting the case ready for the hearing on a very short timeframe. There’s no precedent to follow, so we’ll be making law whatever happens. The stakes couldn’t be higher. This is a stand for integrity. There are considerable costs associated with this legal action of course and any kind monetary contribution would be much appreciated. https://www.oliveryates.com/codepurple
07.01.2022 Standing up for integrity in our electoral system seems even more important now than ever as the attempts to bully and slur citizens grows. Through a petition to the High Court, I am legally challenging and testing the asserted legal right of political parties to mislead and deceive the public. The High Court challenge is based on the Liberal Party’s use of signs on election day that were deliberately designed to mislead and deceive voters in how to cast their vote. I have s...Continue reading

05.01.2022 A preview of the podcast I did with my Daughter to talk about what’s really going on with the fires and behind the scenes of the Liberal Party. The courts determined that the liberals had effectively engaged in election fraud. They’re starting with ‘Is this in my personal interest?’ It’s in the country’s long term interest if we have a stable environment and we keep our ecosystem strong But no, we doesn’t want to talk about that because the party donations come from fo...ssil fuel companies. This is the result of the environment being dried out and under stress. If you don’t want to be part of the problem, then make sure that you’re not. I talked about: The true cause of climate change and Australian bush fires The dark BTS of the Liberal party Ways that Australians can help create change Answering questions that you sent in The true cause of climate change and Australian fires Why change hasn’t occurred even though Liberal promised things would be done about climate change How political parties can twist their words to suit their purpose and practise deception How young people can ACTUALLY create change + create our own party The impact 2 degree difference makes #vicfires #australianbushfires #climatecrisis #australianfires #nswfires
