The NSW Election lies ahead next Saturday, March 25.
Pundits have predicted a Labor-Greens victory. But whichever major party wins the Legislative Assembly (Lower House), the best hope for those who oppose the jab mandates is the Legislative Council (the Upper House - similar to the federal Senate).
This is the one where you get a ballot the size of a table cloth.
This ballot is very important - don’t spoil it by drawing a picture or a rude word no matter what you think of government.
Your vote really does count, especially in the Upper House. So treat that table cloth ballot carefully.
You have 2 choices:
Above the line: number boxes in order of preference.
Below the line: number a minimum of 15 boxes in order of preference.
You can’t do both. You must either go below the line only, or go above the line, only.
This is very important - your vote won’t count if you mix it up.
The ballot is divided into groups marked by letters.
Some are bigger political parties like One Nation, or groups which have 15 or more candidates running. They get a box above the line.
Only groups with 15 or more candidates can get a box above the line.
Other candidates are in groups of less than 15, and they have no box above the line. They are “ungrouped” candidates.
To vote for ungrouped candidates you can only vote below the line, numbering the boxes 1 to 15 as per your preference.
Numbering 15 boxes (minimum) below the line gives you more individual choice. You can pick favourite people from different parties that way.
This is a good system because if your first choice doesn’t make it, then your vote gets counted to your next choice and your next.
It means you won’t waste your vote even if your number 1 candidate doesn’t get in.

Craig Kelly who organised Peter McCullough and Pierre Kory event is running for the Upper House, Group B
Thousands of Sydneysiders turned out last month to hear US cardiologist Peter McCullough, critical care physician Pierre Kory and Queensland GP Melissa McCann speak at Darling Harbour.
The chief organiser was Craig Kelly, the former federal Member for Hughes (Liberal). Mr Kelly quit the Liberal Party on principle as he opposed the vaccine mandates. He joined Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party but lost his seat in the 2022 election.
He has been a frequent face at anti-mandate protests (pictured below) where he has given a spirited defense of the right to say no to the covid vaccines and the right to informed consent.
Mr Kelly is now running for the NSW Upper House as an ungrouped candidate in Group B (box is below the line) for “Craig Kelly’s independent team”.
He is not running for the United Australia Party, as it has not been registered to run in this election.
Ordinary people step up as candidates for the NSW Legislative Assembly (Lower House)
A string of volunteers have put themselves forward to run for the Lower House to oppose the jab mandates. Most never dreamed they would contest an election, they just feel forced to act by the messed up covid response.
Some are standing as independents, others have joined “freedom parties” such as One Nation, the Liberal Democrats or the Informed Medical Options Party.
There’s less of a chance to beat the major party candidates in the Lower House, but it’s not impossible - and they are giving it a crack.
More than 10 candidates gathered at the Bedouin Bar in Double Bay, Sydney, on Wednesday night to introduce themselves. Many gave eye-popping speeches.
Here are a selection:
Phillip Altman advocating for a woman denied a heart transplant - and running for the seat of Manly
Once a consultant for the pharmaceutical industry, Phillip Altman writes a cracking substack here full of facts about the covid vaccines.
He is also now agitating for a Melbourne woman to get a heart transplant.
Vicky Derderian did not take the covid vaccine as it is known to increase the risk of heart infammation (myo/pericarditis) and blood clots. Because she already has a damaged heart, the mother-of-two does not want to take that chance.
Speaking at Double Bay’s Bedouine bar on Wednesday night, Dr Altman said he had become a ‘stone in the shoe’ of the people blocking her from getting a new heart.
“She cannot get that heart transplant because her surgeons and her hospital want her to be vaccinated with a covid vaccine that will release spike proteins that is toxic to her failing heart that she has now.
“How crazy is that?
“The medical profession in my opinion will not recover for a generation from this. They should apologise.”
Dr Altman is now running as an independent for the Legislative Assembly in the seat of Manly.
He has dedicated the last three years of his life to fighting the covid nonsense particularly the vaccine mandates.
And he has the expertise to do it, too - Phillip Altman worked as a clinical trial and regulatory affairs pharmaceutical consultant. He has more than 40 years of experience in designing, managing and reporting clinical trials and has dealt extensively with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
He knows junk science from real science.
Dr Altman told the crowd that the TGA had been highly respected internationally, but now the reduced evidence bar for the covid vaccine “provisional authorisations” was set to become the industry norm.
Dr Altman is giving a talk on the latest data on the covid vaccines at Dee Why RSL on Tuesday, March 21, at 6.30pm. There will be a Q&A session for people to ask questions. There is an entry fee of $10 to cover the room hire.
On his substack, Dr Altman says he’s not a politician by nature: “I don’t care for political strategy, I want to save lives and prevent more vaccine injuries. The voters can decide what is important.”
Blue Mountains candidate told off for letterboxing - by a former media liaison for the ‘vaccine’ rollout
Bullaburra cafe owner Michelle Palmer turned her hand to politics to help those injured by the damaging covid vaccine policy, which has not been fully repealed.
She is running for the Lower House with the Informed Medical Options Party (IMOP) for the Blue Mountains electorate.
Ms Palmer told the audience she had received an outraged message via FaceBook, which read:
“I was absolutely disgusted to receive propaganda material in my letterbox this week from the Informed Medical Options Party.
“I do not consent to having this adherent rubbish placed on my property and it is an absolute waste of resources to drop pamphlets in letterboxes without consent.
“If it happens again, I will be making a report for trespassing and littering.”
“Sincerely, a disappointed and disturbed B…….. resident.”
Ms Palmer said the sender’s notification had come up with her name, which she Googled to find it was none other than a former Health Media Liaison Officer for the Covid-19 Response.
“I felt better after that,” Ms Palmer laughed.
Ms Palmer did not name the staffer, and it’s important to remember that everyone has the right to freedom of expression, even government propagandists.
Suspended doctors ‘not given a fair day in court’ - Baulkham Hills GP runs for the Liberal Democrats
My Le Trinh never wanted to be a politician, she’s a doctor. She has been a GP in Sydney’s Baulkham Hills for 27 years.
Now, unexpectedly, she finds herself running for the Lower House seat of Castle Hill for the Liberal Democrats Party.
It is one way to try to put things right after the covid pandemic smashed a wrecking ball through people’s lives, especially for doctors.
Dr Trinh would not take the covid vaccine. It has since been shown not to reduce transmission - it wasn’t even tested for that - and it carries a host of serious side-effects.
In 2021, the NSW Government told all health workers including Dr Trinh that they would have to inject themselves with the poorly tested products in order to keep their license and work.
Dr Trinh said doctors had been suspended for issuing exemption forms for patients whose health would be harmed by the shots due to pre-existing conditions.
Also, doctors had been suspended for giving early treatment to covid patients and for talking about Vitamin D and Ivermectin on social media as beneficial.
“But they’re not fighting in court,” she said.
“It’s really a tough fight - it just consumes your life. They pursue you.”
Dr Trinh said suspended doctors never get real justice if they can’t have their case heard by the independent NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) because they are always under the adjudication of the Medical Council of NSW.
The law requires the Medical Council to refer cases to NCAT under section 145D of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW), but Dr Trinh said they were not referring all suspensions on.
“Many are forced to retire,” said Dr Trinh.
Dr Trinh said she is now challenging this point in the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal.
The government has received 981 reports of vaccine-linked deaths but only admits the covid vaccines have killed 14 of those people. Autopsies testing for the vaccine spike are not routinely conducted on people who die within 30 days of the product, so the real figure is likely to be higher due to lack of reporting.
All-cause mortality figures for 2022 to 30 November reveal 22,886 extra deaths, or 15.1 percent above the historical average according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures. Only 8824 of those deaths were due to covid.
It is suspected that the vaccine has caused some of these deaths but it is difficult to see the extent of the problem as the government has so far not released all-cause-mortality figures separated by vaccine status and age.
HOW TO HELP THE CANDIDATES WHO WILL ROLL BACK THE COVID VACCINE DAMAGE
Ordinary people are running for office to try to turn back the damage done - so if you’re annoyed at the government then please don’t spoil your ballot by writing curses on it or drawing a rude picture.
Help these people instead.
The “freedom party” candidates are trying not to compete with each other in the same electorates and have sought to field just one candidate in as many different electorates as possible.
Political activist group Turning Point Australia has helped them co-ordinate. You can search your address on this website here to see their recommendations for how to vote to help get one of them in, in your area.
You can have a look at their suggestion, then make up your own mind.
The NSW Electoral Commission has a searchable list of all the candidates here.
But whatever you do, don’t waste your vote. It really does matter, as anyone who has seen Senator Gerard Rennick grilling former TGA head John Skerritt in the federal Senate knows.
Haha that letterboxing outrage...classic!
