For Alex and Andy: you guys seem cool, but I'm still in the middle of this war with the Greens over the 2022 election and their subsequent choices. Mr. Barr didn't option my material. He certainly didn't licence the songs.

That's the fundamental truth. All the other actions taken were intentions to protect their investment. -


The Greens definitely roasted me in 2022. They still haven't acknowledged the casual bigotry of that evening. Tory definitely took things further than that. She called me a tosser on TV.


There's no path that doesn't involve those apologies, including Tory's. She's obviously able to avoid apologising for the defamatory remark, but her other actions are suspect.

Like, read the Reading Cinemas scandal as a proxy for the Weeded Out scandal.


A poorly handled negotiation by people that claimed they were more 'professional' than me the trannie freak. I stuck to the rules, while they elided them under the belief that I was mentally ill and hence they had some magic right to rewrite my life story. As I said, zero convictions, zero charges and zero CTOs. My sanity is remarkably sound for somebody that's been treated like a political prisoner for a number of years now. - So, yeah, if I sense some real progress on the apologies, then I'll turn up on Friday. Otherwise, I'm way too cautious to walk into a repeat of 2022.
