It's my pleasure to have Monica Smith as our guest in a Monica Smith has been on the front line of Australia's fight for freedom since August 2020, most recently, she is an international recognize us for a political prisoner. She's been 22 days in solitary confinement, refusing to sign draconian bail conditions, the conditions were appealed and revoked and she isn't how free to continue her work. So it just tell us what happened.

Well, there was a new bill put through parliament just two weeks ago called the permanent pandemic legislation. So Daniel Andrews our premier can now call a pandemic for any reason without any advice or anything like that.

And if someone is seen to be a aggressive offender of the public health act, they can go to prison for up to two years with no appeal and no punishment for wrongful imprisonment either.

So I just thought in my position, seeing as the government and the police have directly already tried to silence me. I don't think it's paranoid for me to consider that they would use this new legislation against anyone that they want to silence.

Oh, why were you in prison in the first place?

So I was charged with incitement, which is meant for things like murder or things like that. So if I encourage someone to murder someone, I am obviously also called for that crime.

But in this case, they've found a loophole in the criminal system here to if I am inciting someone to break a covert 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 offense of not wearing a mask is actually only a findable offense. It's not a jailable offense.

So it's a loophole in the system. I shouldn't have been in that position, but I was charged with two counts of incitement and the bail conditions were the most my lawyer said they have seen people who have run through houses with machetes get less bail conditions than me.

They wanted to completely shut down my organization, which is one of the most influential freedom movements in Australia. And 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.

So I couldn't sign those bail conditions. So I went to prison and we had to appeal them. It took 22 days and because I didn't want to take a PCR test. They kept me in solitary confinement. So I had no sunshine, no outside time at all for 22 days, but I got out and the bad bail conditions were taken away. So I can still do my work, which is great.

Let me ask you something on another subject, which is what is the status of camps Australia and are they actually being populated now? Who are they being designed for?

Well, 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.

They're very compliant. Unfortunately, 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.

And if you don't go, you'll get a $5,000 fine. You'll get approached by police and you'll get intimidated until you go. So most people go because, of course, the $5,000 fine is the average wage in Australia is about $40,000 a year. So $5,000 is a lot of money.

So most people go and that's in the Northern territories. Now there is one being built in Queensland and in Victoria. Now I will say the one in Victoria is going to be start by prison guards.

So that's very worrying. And you know, two years ago, it would have been, 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. They are for the unvaccinated and for those who don't want to comply and for maybe close contacts as well, but big staff by prison guards and what's happening in Northern territories. Now if you leave your balcony, you get a $5,000 fine.

If you break the rules, you get a $5,000 fine. People have tried to escape. Why would you escape if it was voluntary and if it was a nice environment.

So the public sentiment towards the unvaccinated is already getting very bad. So 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.

And that's a danger to society. And I think a lot of some people would be like, yeah, sure. That makes sense. Lock them up because they're unclean and we don't want them in our society. So yeah.

The people who are being shipped to those camps now, there are people who were exposed to COVID, whether they were vaccinated or unvaccinated versus just unvaccinated people are being sent there.

Everyone. Yeah. And you don't even have the knowledge 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.
