“Let me tell you, folks, about a close friend of mine. I’ve known her and worked with her for a very long time, and I truly believe that she is a woman who cares about this country and a woman of integrity. She is Prime Minister TheSensibleCentre.

And they’re writing a lot of bad things about her in the press, the fake news media, calling her a liar, a conwoman, even corrupt – truly awful stuff. It’s all completely false. You know how I know that?

TheSensibleCentre puts doing what is right for her country over her own political career. When she found out that her deputy in government had threatened New Zealand’s Prime Minister, she didn’t waver or make excuses – she sacked him, because she’s zero-tolerance on corruption. She doesn’t stand for people in her government abusing their power.

And it’s not as if she just sacked one person – it was an incredibly brave decision doing that, because that one person was Commonwealth Party leader 12MaxWild. If he said the word, her government could have been over. Can you imagine any other politician doing that? Sacking such a powerful man? Can you imagine the CEO of Westpac deciding “half of you are doing money laundering, off you go!” It’d never happen!

At the end of the day, under the capitalist system we live in, banks like Westpac will never be free of corruption because they’re only accountable to profit. They can do as much coke and underpay as many workers as they like, because no-one holds them to account. But the same thing doesn’t apply for our government.

If you think your government is corrupt, or they’re doing things you don’t like, you can vote them out. That’s why the Commonwealth Party is spreading so many lies and deceits about our Prime Minister – all they can do is project. They were caught red-handed being corrupt, so they say that the Prime Minister who blew the whistle is corrupt to try and deflect.

That is why, this election, potentially the biggest risk you can take is a vote for the Commonwealth Party. And do you know why? Because 12MaxWild went behind the back of the Prime Minister. After we had negotiated the gangbuster CANZIRES deal, that would have opened this country up to free trade and association with Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa, he attempted to rip it up.

And that would be one thing. If he doesn’t want our deal, that’s his opinion. We’re all welcome to our opinions. But he tried to negotiate a military pact behind the back of the Prime Minister, against the wishes of Canada and New Zealand, because he wanted a CANZUK deal. And you know what the worst part is?

When Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand and a great woman, decided she’d had enough of 12MaxWild’s nonsense, and left these fake CANZUK talks, do you know what he did? He threatened her. He said that we would place tariffs against New Zealand goods unless she signed the CANZUK deal.

Of course, this was a complete lie – he hadn’t run this past the PM or past anyone else. It was an old-school bully boy misogynist tactic of trying to make a woman do what he wanted. And when the Prime Minister found out, she sacked him without hesitation, because she is a woman of integrity. She knows that you can’t bully and threaten other countries to agree with you, and that such a man who aims to do so has no place representing Australia.

But it gets worse. As the Attorney-General, I took this matter very seriously, and yesterday, I came to the conclusion that 12MaxWild’s abuse of his position constituted a violation of the law, as he had made an unwarranted demand with threats as a Commonwealth official, and that it raised a serious corruption issue due to 12MaxWild’s attempt to blackmail Prime Minister Ardern. So I’ve referred it to the federal police and ICAC.

Yet throughout all of this, despite the overwhelming evidence, the Commonwealth Party has stuck by their corrupt leader. Remember what I said earlier, they project and deflect? Well, they said, the text message that threatened Ardern was sent by a Socialist Party aide! Who is this aide? How did they get access to 12MaxWild’s phone? We have no idea!

And now, if you believe the polling, 12MaxWild might be this nation’s next Prime Minister. Do you really want that? Do you want the face of this nation worldwide, at the United Nations, at the G8, to be a man who tries to blackmail other foreign leaders to achieve his own petty ideological goals?

Frankly, I don’t think a man like that should even be allowed to run for office. You know what I think, folks? I think that, when the AFP and the ICAC finally catch up to 12MaxWild, it’s going to be very bad for him, but great for the country. He shouldn’t be in the Lodge – he should be in the back of a prison cell.

Say it with me folks – lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!”

The reasonably-sized crowd erupts with chants of “lock him up!”
