How I Completely Broke The Mainstream Media

Is what RV Yemeni's doing, is it deceitful?

No, it's legal.It's in legislation.There's a plan afoot to hoodwink Australian voters and the man behind it isn't shying away from his intentions.

He's a far -right activist.He served in the Israeli army.So why is RV Yemeni spearheading a movement called the Free Palestine Party?Channel 10 just tried to run a hit piece on me and I absolutely loved it.

This is genuinely hilarious.The moment I announced I'm launching a free Palestine party that'll send its preferences to One Nation, the meltdown was instant.And they rolled out the big guns at Channel 10, who somehow turned their story into a better ad than I could ever make.

He's a far -right activist.He served in the Israeli army.Seriously?

Are we still doing this far -right shtick?The literal far -left and the actual far -right don't Both hate me equally, which by definition puts me smack bang in the middle.So when they call me far right, I guess they just mean I'm very right, not wrong.

So why is Avi Yemeni spearheading a movement called the Free Palestine Party?Rory Campbell investigates.

Rory's investigation was basically watching my video where I'd already explained everything, oh, and firing off a media request to Rebel HQ in Canada while they were asleep, so by the time they woke up and forwarded it on to me, the story was already live.But to be fair, I love the final product, so I'm not sure I could have improved it anyway.

Why did you come my way?You're filming this, huh?

Avi Yemeni is an agitator and a provocateur.The former Israeli soldier now a right -wing commentator in Australia who talks a lot about the war between Israel and Hamas.

How many slurs are we up to now?We've got far -right, agitator, provocateur.And I love how they kept inserting my service in the IDF, which I'm super proud of because guess what?I've been trying to free Palestine from Hamas for a very long time, way before it was cool.What is the one issue that unites all useful idiots from the far left to the fringe right to certain immigrant cultures that have imported their hate?Who?

Free Palestine.Honestly, credit to Rory for this one.Brilliant cut.Loved it.

Now, Yemeni is trying to register his own political party in Victoria.It's name, the Free Palestine Party.

Imagine they walked into a polling booth and they saw Free Palestine Party.It's genius.So Yemeni is recruiting members.We're going to flow our preferences on to parties that want to free Palestine from Hamas.

To do that, he intends to take advantage of the group voting ticket system in Victoria's upper house.If you cast a single vote above the line, your preferences go to a list made by that party.Yemeni favours Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

If you want to start up a political party and direct preferences to One Nation, I'll gladly welcome those preferences.My opinion is, get rid of the whole system.Make it fair right across the board.Allow the voters to control their preferences.

What's funny is Rory went to Pauline Hanson hoping she'd throw me under the bus or distance herself from what I'm doing.When she didn't, he just ran those couple of short sound bites.How do I know you ask?Because I got my hands on the full unedited interview.

Pauline, we've seen a situation here in Melbourne where a sort of commentator if you like has is trying to launch a political party, sort of expressing a view, sort of funneling preferences to, you sort of may indicate.One Nation.What do you make of it?

Harvey's only doing what's legal to do in Victoria and this is you can register a political party and if you vote above the line it's the political parties that control the preferences where they go, not the voter.You've known this has been an issue.People have known this.You're deceiving the people, the public, and the political parties are controlling their preferences.I totally disagree with it.But the government has the opportunity now to change the legislation and allow the voters control, complete control over their vote.

Hear, hear, Pauline.And in a second, we'll get back to the key parts of the interview, including the smackdown he conveniently left out because it didn't suit his narrative.But for now, Let's get to my favorite part of Rory's report.

The established Free Palestine movement is furious.

I believe it is deceitful.I think it's anti -democratic.I think it's the work of a right -wing racist agitator to try and build the forces of the far right, of racism and of Islamophobia.

There we go, another couple of slurs to add to the list this time.And guess what?I can do it too.From an Australian -hating terrorist supporter.So I must be doing something right.

No, it's legal.It's in legislation.The government has allowed it to happen.He's legally registering a political party.He's going to legally go with the procedures that the political parties will determine where preferences go.

For his part, Yemini isn't claiming the idea is his own.Harvey Yemini claims that Labor has used this tactic and it's helped them stay in power.How real is that?

completely false.

Speaking of deceitful, funny how Channel 10 forgot to mention the background of their political strategy expert.So let me help fill in the gaps.His name is Kosky.He's from the socialist left faction of the Labor Party.I'm not even joking, go look it up.Anyway, let's hear his impartial expertise.

I think it's pretty clear that the campaigns that the major parties have run have been on a whole range of broad ranging issues.

No shit, Sherlock.When we say Labour uses this strategy, we're not talking about their official policies.We're talking about aligned players setting up single -issue parties, sometimes even pretending to oppose them, just to funnel preferences back their way.I literally gave the example of the sat -down Andrews party, whose preferences ended up flowing straight back to, guess who?

You've allowed Glenn Durie, the preference whisperer, to control it for how many elections now, controlling the preferences, now that because you've got a conservative side of politics that are playing the same game as what the lefts have done for a long time, that you're getting complaints about it now?My opinion is get rid of the whole system, make it fair right across the board, allow the voters to control their preferences, not individuals and not political parties.

Do you think it's a tactic that'll work?

No, no, I don't think so at all.All right, I surrender.If the Labor guy says so, it must be true, which is kind of funny because the Victorian Labor Party itself has consistently knocked back calls to scrap the group voting ticket.The same system he's claiming doesn't even work.

So we've seen that with the Glen jury, the preference whisperer, who has control where the preference flows goes.And it's questionable, has he made money out of it?

But I'm sure Rory will really push back on that any second now.

The actual issues itself, those individuals who are extremely passionate about it are also extremely engaged in politics.So I think that this will fall flat.

I guess he wasn't pushing back, just letting a straw man run, so let's deal with it anyway.I'm not creating a party because I think it's going to win a seat.Sure, there are examples where joke or single issue parties have broken through, but that's not the point here.The strategy is simple.You pick a single issue that grabs people who aren't extremely engaged in politics but care about one thing, something that jumps off the ballot to them personally, like Save the Environment or the old sex party before it was rebranded.Even, yes, sack Dan Andrews.

These things catch votes.Now imagine a bunch of those parties each pulling a couple of a percentage and then directing those preferences to one place.Suddenly, that one party can get over the line.

I don't agree with the system at all.

I never have done.Right?So I believe in the people have the power of where they want their preferences to go.And I listen to the people all the time.And they are furious about that their preferences are going to someone they don't want them to go to.So it's clearly the people don't want this.

This is this has benefited mainly the Labor government, and the ones on the left.So that's why that's been kept in place.You know, you had last time, someone started up a party,to oppose the Daniel Andrews party.Now, people voted for that.Where did the preferences go?

Directly to Daniel Andrews.So the name gets a lot of people in, but they have no understanding where the preferences are going.

And it's not just the theory.That's exactly what the so -called preference whisperer has been doing for years for financial gain, and it overwhelmingly ends up benefiting Labour and minor left -wing parties, which is exactly why they've resisted scrapping it.And in this particular case, given how many people latch onto the issue of Palestine from across the political spectrum, this one could easily pull in more than your average single -issue party.But sure, Let's all pretend it doesn't work and there's nothing to see here.

To register a political party in Victoria, you need at least 500 members.The Electoral Commission checks them to make sure they're eligible voters and not members of other parties.The party needs to have a written constitution.The application fee is $840 .50.The paperwork needs to be in by the 1st of June ahead of Victoria's November election.So Yemeni doesn't have a lot of time.

right now and register.We've already got the 500, but we need to make sure we're comfortably going to clear the threshold and cover any of the drop -offs when they send out the letter.So we're aiming for at least 750, and we're getting very close.So go there now, register, and when the VEC form comes through, fill it in and send it back that easy.

Objections to a new political party can be made by anyone for a number of reasons, one being because the name is obscene, but they can't be made because the name of the party doesn't express its true character, or because the party has questionable policies.

Yep, and thank you to Rory for clearing that one up for the people watching.they're actually freaking out.

Pro -Palestine supporters in Yemeni do have one thing in common, neither likes the current group voting ticket system.

The problem is this system.This system that allows people who have very little support in the community to get elected.

That's the first true thing this leftist has ever said.If they scrap it, her fellow Hamas supporters from Animal Justice will never win a seat again.

So you wouldn't welcome the preferences?

It's not about welcoming the preferences.I'm telling you that the whole system is wrong.And I'm saying that change the legislation so you make it fair right across the board, let the voter control where the votes go.But what RV is doing is not illegal.He's doing what he's entitled to do under the laws and that is not illegal.Now, if they want to, if you won't change the legislation, if you want to start up a political party and direct preferences to One Nation, I'll gladly welcome those preferences.

I guess you've obviously opposed to the system though.

I think I pretty much answered your question.I think you've got my answer there.Give the power of the vote back to the people.

No worries Pauline, I think you've made that pretty clear.

Thank you very much.

Right, thanks.

The Victorian government is considering whether the system should be scrapped.It's the only state where it is still used.Not that strategists see Avi Yemini's stunt as something that'll have much sway.You don't see the Palestine -Israel issue as something that's likely to influence elections?

No, absolutely not.Just because something is popular within someone's online ecosystem doesn't mean it's popular in the real world.We'll see, Mr. Strategist.
