“We have never had any big backers, to this day we have no big backers I currently have half a million dollars in legal invoices sitting on my desk… I was talking to a senator & she was flabbergasted at how expensive it is. Yeah, but at least we’re doing the work. Politicians could fix it for free in a week.”
When I was at CPAC, 100% of people I spoke with assumed that I had someone wealthy behind the scenes paying all of the legal bills. They assumed this because most high profile legal cases in Australia are funded by a wealthy benefactor - the likes of Bruce Lehrman & Ben Roberts-Smith to name just two, the former who even had his living expenses covered during it all - but no, I have never had any offers of major financial support to relieve the stress of public interest litigation that actually does impact the whole country. In a way, it doesn’t bother me, because I think it is significantly more powerful to have 100,000+ people giving $10. That makes a very important point. Other times, it does bother me, because paying for this stupidity is why my hair started to fall out.
I always hate asking for money, it’s so outside my comfort zone. I remember, at one point, when there was a total media blackout in Australia, I thought I was going to have to stand on a street corner with a paper cup saying, “men aren’t women give me money!” But alas, with hard work & a slowly changing zeitgeist, that hasn’t happened… yet.
If you can, please share the giggle crowdfund so that the important point can continue to be made 🩷
Thank you everyone for the continued support. We’re in this together, and we’re about half way between the hearing (August) and the decision (late November/December). 🩷
Men are not women.

WE’RE COOKED - Aussie Dollar hits 60 cents.
Three years ago, before Albanese was elected, the Australian dollar was worth US$0.753 - today its collapsed to just $0.604
That means higher inflation and higher interest rates. It means Australians are all poorer relative to rest of the world.
I’d suggest part of the reason for the most recent collapse is that the market has factored in the probability of Labor/Greens/Teal government after the election.
And with their Net Zero zealotry, they’ll pursue policies which will cripple Australia’s few remaining wealth creating productive industries and all we’ll have left is a Ponzi migration scheme to "power" the economy - until that collapses in a screaming heap.
