🧵🧵🧵 1. This is a thread about the always winning suspended doctor William Bay and his various legal “victories”!
2.Billy was a late arrival to the Freedom Movement. He burst onto the scene in July 2022, when he infamously gatecrashed an Australian Medical Association conference. The confrontation, which was live-streamed, Billy accused the AMA of gaslighting doctors about the COVD vaccine
3. As a result, AHPRA proposed to suspend Billy on grounds he posed a “serious risk to persons” requiring AHPRA to take “immediate action” to protect public health.
4. In UNBELIEVABLE scenes, Billy organized a protest outside AHPRA’s offices where he attempted to live stream his Show Cause hearing before the Medical Board. He challenged the Board to kick him out!
5. No guesses as to what the Board did next. They granted Billy’s wish and suspended him!
6. But after being kicked out, Billy decided he wanted back in! So he launched proceedings in the QLD Supreme Court to challenge his suspension.
7. The crux of Billy’s case was that the Medical Board & AHPRA lacked jurisdiction which meant his suspension was “invalid at law”.
Billy was self represented.
8. Billy did not let his status as a self represented litigant deter him. In fact, Billy announced he was confident of a “strong victory”.
9. The day of the Supreme Court hearing, Billy decided he didn’t want to fight AHPRA in the Supreme Court anymore. He wanted to take his fight to the High Court! He filed an application to essentially “transfer” his case from the Supreme Court to the High Court
10. We all know how this ended. The High Court dismissed Billy’s application with costs.
11. The day the judgment was due to be delivered, poor Billy went live on FB so he could announce his victory to his followers. Unfortunately, a follower found out the outcome before Billy did, spoiling the surprise.
Billy couldn’t (cont)
12. believe he wasn’t the first to know. After 30 mins of searching the High Court website, Billy finally found proof that his follower was correct – his application was indeed dismissed.
With costs.
13. So what does Billy do? Well, he launches an appeal of course!
14. Billy’s appeal application forms were accepted for filing. In typical Billy style, he claimed this as a victory. As we all know, having one’s documents accepted for filing is NOT a win.
15. The High Court dismissed Billy’s application for leave to appeal his AHPRA case.
16. Not content w/ fighting AHPRA in the High Court, Billy decides to take on the AEC & challenge the Constitutional validity of the Voice Referendum.
17. Billy claimed victory, declaring the Referendum invalid!
18. The OPPOSITE happened. The Registrar REFUSED to accept his application for filing b/c it appeared on its face to be an abuse of process, frivolous or vexatious. If Billy wanted to progress the application, he would need to submit a Form 31 and get permission from the Court.
19. Even the AEC confirmed that Billy Bay had NOT had a victory in the High Court 😁
20. After copping a lot of heat from the Freedom Movement for claiming he’d had a victory when he hadn’t, Billy eventually caved & decided to submit his Form 31 & apply for permission to file his application.
21. A few weeks later, the inevitable result was delivered: Billy’s application to file his challenge to the Voice Referendum was REFUSED on grounds it was an ABUSE OF PROCESS.
22. THIS was the EXACT moment Billy found out his High Court application had been refused.
23. So what does Billy do?
He tries AGAIN!
24. And loses. Again.
25. In between all these proceedings against AHPRA and the AEC, Billy was busy getting himself arrested.
26. His first court appearance he claimed VICTORY!
What was the victory?
27. Billy exercised his legal right to plead NOT GUILTY to the charges against him.
Presumption of innocence = victory.
28. Billy then decided that AHPRA were fraudulently representing themselves as a state entity to avoid their GST responsibilities so he reported AHPRA to the ATO for Organised Crime.
The ATO are yet to take action against AHPRA.
29. With a taste for the law, Billy decided he’d try & intervene in the Australian Vaccination-risks Network’s “Australian Babies Case” (their High Court challenge to the TGA’s approval of the COVID vax for infants).
30. The AVN’s case was ultimately dismissed but guess what, Billy claimed it was because of him! In reality, the AVN’s loss had NOTHING to do with Billy. The HCA dismissed the AVN’s case w/o even considering Billy’s submissions
31. So what is Billy up to these days? Well, he’s trying to challenge the constitutional validity of the Referendum yet again.
32. Court victories? None.
33. @SOS149 and @sunnysandeel have both done a podcast episode about the suspended doctor Bay! You can listen to it here: redcircle.com/shows/tinfoil-…

🧵1. Earlier this year, conservative US commentator Candace Owens was denied a visa to Australia on grounds she has “capacity to incite discord”
She’s now challenging that decision in the High Court of Australia!
In this thread I explain what her case is all about!
2. This case is very different to Djokovic’s legal challenge over the Minister for Home Affairs’ decision to deny him a visa. In that case, Djokovic essentially challenged the WAY the Minister made his decision to deny him a visa
3. HERE, Candace is challenging the LEGISLATION that gives the Minister the power to deny her a visa!
🧵 1. The no longer suspended doctor Bay vs AHPRA & the Medical Board.
In this thread, I summarise the court’s decision: why Bai is no longer suspended, why his Constitutional argument failed, and what the possible future brings for Dr Bay
2. This case was an application for “judicial review” by Dr Bay. He applied to the QLD Supreme Court for a review of the following 2 decisions of the Medical Board: the decision to suspend him & the decision to investigate his conduct
3. What is judicial review? It’s the power of a Court to review decisions of government agencies or public bodies. The role of the Court is to determine if the decision was properly made – the focus is on the law & how the decision was made, not the MERITS of the decision
🧵 1. What happens when lawyers behind a failed lawsuit against Pfizer & Moderna accuse the presiding judge of bias because the judge happened to have a science degree & a cousin who once supported medical research?
A judicial smackdown of course!
2. Background to this drama:
Controversial doctor Julian Fidge decided to sue Pfizer & Moderna, claiming their COVID vaccines were genetically modified organisms & illegally unlicensed under the Gene Technology Act
3. Justice Rofe of the Federal Court dismissed the case summarily, on the basis that Fidge lacked “standing” to bring the proceedings. Fidge used the same lawyers who’d once represented the Australian Vaccination-risks Network (cont)
🧵 1. Three doctors who were suspended for issuing fake COVID vax exemptions have attempted to overturn their suspensions in the High Court of Australia! The High Court refused to let the self-represented doctors file their application, on grounds it was an abuse of process
2. Doctors Mark Hobart, Valerie Peers & Denes Boros sought to commence proceedings in the High Court against the CEO of AHPRA and the Chair of the Medical Board
3. Each doctor had been suspended during the height of the pandemic, pursuant to the Board’s “immediate action” powers. Each doctor was suspended for similar reasons: allegedly issuing fake COVID vax certificates & promoting misleading info about COVID vaccines
Day 3 of Closing Submissions and Final Day of the Hearing!
#DeemingvPesutto
Yesterday Dr Collins KC made some compelling arguments re: the republication of Pesutto's Media Release in MSM. After Collins' closing submissions, Sue Chrysanthou SC (SC) will give her Reply. Will be interesting to hear how she rebuts this argument.
After a 5 minute delay, Court is now in session again!
