1. Well, the courts are now CLOSED for 2023!
2024 is looking to be a big year in the courts for the Freedom Movement. We're expecting a few judgments/decisions and a number of cases to progress. Here is a list of freedom movement & other cases of interest:

2. Anti-lockdown activist mentioned the other day that one of her priorities for 2024 is court cases - "both offensive & defensive" !!

On the defensive side, she's being prosecuted by Consumer Affairs Victoria for alleged unlawful fundraising.

3. Monica is pleading not guilty to the charges. Her next court date is 22nd January (a mention).

4. On the "offensive side", Monica is suing Victoria Police for alleged unlawful arrest over this incident:

5. After numerous failures to comply w/ court deadlines including vacating the original trial date, it appears Monica *may* be applying to discontinue the proceedings.

A hearing is listed for 23 Jan to hear the application.

6. Still on the "offensive side", Monica has announced she's planning on suing Brett Sutton for the 21 days she spent in custody.

Considering she ELECTED to spend the time in custody, this will certainly be an interesting case...

7. The NSW Law Society is seeking disciplinary orders against anti-mandate lawyer Nathan Buckley.

Nathan tried to stop the case progressing but was unsuccessful. The parties return to NCAT in February for a case management hearing.

8. Despite the Voice referendum not succeeding, suspended doctor Billy Bay is still trying to challenge its validity!

In 2023 the High Court dismissed his challenge to the Voice as an "abuse of process". He's now trying to appeal that decision...

9. The other suspended doctor, Mark Hobart, recently lost his appeal against the Medical Board's decision to suspend his registration. He's now filed an application for special leave to appeal in the High Court.

Like Billy, he loves a High Court challenge!

10. Clive Palmer reckons he's going to sue the former chair of ASIC

11. Lawyers behind 2 failed COVID vax challenges took Pfizer & Moderna to court, arguing their vaccines constituted GMOs.

Pfizer & Moderna applied to have the case summarily dismissed on grounds it had no prospects of success.

We're currently awaiting judgment...

12. 500+ ppl are part of a COVID vax injury class action against the Cth Govt. They say the decision to approve the vaccine constitutes negligence & malfeasance.

The Govt intends to apply for the case to be dismissed on grounds it's hopeless w/ no prospects of success.

13. Former sports presenter Warren Tredrea is suing Channel 9, claiming the network unfairly dismissed him b/c he refused to get the COVID vaccine.

After a lengthy hearing, the court has reserved its decision. Currently awaiting judgment.

14. Then there's suspended lawyer Serene Teffaha's class action against the Victorian Legal Services Board and the Commonwealth Bank...

15. And disendorsed OneNation candidate Rebecca Lloyd's class action against ASIC over their Director ID laws!
