  • From fear to freedom: A psychologist’s take on our kids

    In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Ros Nealon-Cook, the first Australian psychologist to publicly speak out against the COVID narrative back in 2020–21. Ros shares her personal story of losing her psychology registration for doing what every parent instinctively knows is right—speaking up to protect children from harm. Together, Adam and Ros unpack what really went on behind the fear campaigns, lockdowns and professional gag orders that silenced so many voices of reason.

    Drawing on decades of psychological insight, Ros explains how fear literally hijacks the human brain, shutting down critical thinking and driving good people to conform with the herd. She breaks down the mechanics of group psychology, attachment to authority, and how governments used behavioural “nudge units” to manipulate the public into compliance. Most powerfully, she reveals how this collective trauma has affected our children—the so-called “COVID kindies”—and why so many kids today are struggling to regulate their emotions, focus, and trust the world around them.

    Adam and Ros move the discussion toward healing—starting with psycho-education for parents and kids. From her simple “Red Beast / White Rabbit” model for teaching self-regulation, to the deeper work of raising emotionally whole boys and rebuilding community outside captured systems, this episode is full of practical tools and profound hope. It’s a must-listen for any parent determined to raise resilient, critically-thinking kids in a post-COVID world.

  • The Final Call: What the TGA Reversal Really Means—and What We Must Do Now

    To connect with our guest psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Mathews, go to

    https://greatchangemaker.com.au/

    In this deeply reflective and emotionally charged episode, Adam Gibson reunites with psychologist and long-time ally Lindsay Spencer-Matthews to unpack a momentous but underreported shift: the TGA’s updated advice quietly walking back COVID vaccines for children under 18, stating that the risks now outweigh the benefitsFor those of us who fought, spoke out, and paid the price for questioning this agenda—this is the moment we’ve waited for. But it’s not the time for revenge. It’s the time to act strategically, compassionately, and effectively.

    We discuss:

    •The emotional toll of speaking truth during a time of mass delusion

    •Why doctors and pharmacists still don’t know the advice has changed

    •A practical final action: sending a respectful, curiosity-based letter to your GP or pharmacist

    •The psychology of belief, and how to truly reach people

    •Healing the dissident community and putting down the sword—for good

     

    This is the full stop we’ve been craving. But we have to deliver it wisely.

    Letters, not rage. Curiosity, not confrontation.

    Heres how you can take action with us:

    • Step 1: Download and Print the Attached Letters 
    • Letter to Doctor 

      Letter to Pharmacist 

      They have been written by respected psychologist Lindsay Spencer-Matthews, and carefully worded to invite conversation, not conflict.

      • Step 2: Mail It! (Yes, snail mail)
      • Look up your local GP and/or pharmacist, then handwrite the envelope:

        Dr. [Name]

        Mark it "Private & Confidential" (this helps ensure it will get opened by the right person)

        Sign it in ink - no digital signatures. Remember, you are simply asking respectful questions about an official statement - so there is no risk of blowback on you.

        • Step 3: Share the Mission  
        • If every PWQ supporter sends one letter? That’s 30,000 doctors and pharmacists who will think twice before jabbing another child (or even an adult)

          If you send five, that’s 150,000. 

          And forward this to ask five friends to do the same?

          Considering there are only around 130,000 medical doctors and specialists in Australia, we’ll become a force that cannot be ignored. 

          And finally, if you are part of a freedom based community group, a social media circle, or even a school P&F committee member, please ask them to help you circulate this message.

           

           

           

          7 Big Takeaways From This Episode

          1.The TGA Has Quietly Reversed Course on COVID Vaccines for Kids

          The official advice now states the risks outweigh the benefits for those under 18—but few doctors and pharmacists even know this.

          2.The Fight Isn’t Over Until Action is Taken

          Without public visibility, kids may still be getting these injections daily. This is our opportunity to stop it cold.

          3.Letters Can Be More Powerful Than Protests

          A printed, respectfully worded, hand-signed letter sent directly to a doctor or pharmacist can bypass defensiveness and open real dialogue.

          4.Anger is Understandable—But Not Effective

          This is the time for grace and strategy, not vengeance. Letting rage lead now may cost us the final victory.

          5.Most Professionals Still Haven’t Processed Their Own Cognitive Dissonance

          Doctors were trained for compliance, not curiosity. The TGA’s reversal gives them an “off-ramp” from the narrative, but we must offer it gently.

          6.This May Be the Moment to Finally Heal

          Many in the dissident community are experiencing battle fatigue. This campaign offers closure—and a bridge to the next chapter.

          7.Your Voice Still Matters

          Whether it’s one letter or ten, your action could protect a child, shift a professional’s mindset, or close this dark chapter with dignity.

        • How to Use Your Super Fund to Save Tax (Post Election Update)

          For your 30 min FREE consult with Chris Jahn to discuss SMSF and if its right for you, go to http://www.jahnsuper.com.au/

          Here's what you will learn in this episode:

          The “Unrealised Gains” Tax is a Real Threat… But Not for Everyone (Yet)

          The new proposal to tax unrealised gains on super balances over $3 million has spooked many—especially farmers and landowners. But Chris clarifies that this only applies to individuals with $3M+ in super ($6M per couple), meaning most Aussies aren’t immediately affected. Still, the principle of changing the rules mid-game has created deep distrust in the system.
          9 Out of 10 Aussies Are Missing Major Tax-Saving Strategies
          Chris sees firsthand that most Australians are leaving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table by not using available super tax strategies. Examples include:
          • Personal deductible contributions

          • Catch-up concessional contributions from previous 5 years

          • Recontribution strategies to reduce death benefits tax

            Financially Savvy Clients Are Exploiting These 7 Underused Strategies

            Chris outlined seven proven (but underutilized) tax strategies:

            1. Personal concessional contributions (17%–32% return via tax savings)

            2. Catch-up of unused concessional caps (up to 5 years back)

            3. Non-concessional contributions (up to $120K/year or $360K over 3 years)

            4. Starting a pension phase at 60 (to make super income tax-free)

            5. Re-contribution strategy (to minimize tax for beneficiaries)

            6. Splitting super contributions with a spouse (get earlier access)

            7. Transition to Retirement strategy (drawing tax-free while still working)

              Most Accountants Are Gagged from Giving Super Advice
              Due to over-regulation, accountants are banned from giving advice on super contributions—even basic tips like, “You should contribute $10K before EOFY.” With only ~15,000 financial advisors servicing 10 million working Australians (and many charging steep fees), the average Aussie is flying blind—disempowered by design.
              Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) Offer a “Financial Lifeboat” for the Awake
              Chris confirms that SMSFs still provide the most control, flexibility, and sovereignty, especially for those who want to:
              • Avoid investing in BlackRock/Vanguard-aligned managed funds

              • Allocate into hard assets like gold, silver, crypto, or farmland

              • Align their money with their values in a rapidly shifting world

                Even with regulatory red tape, Chris says SMSFs remain one of the last legal strongholds of financial freedom in Australia.

                  Gerard Rennick is the outspoken Queensland Senator and leader of the People First Party.

                  In this interview, he delves into the flaws of Australia's superannuation system, the government's handling of COVID-19, and the economic consequences that have arisen from these policies.

                  He discusses the impact of historical economic decisions, the role of immigration in the housing market, and proposes a series of reforms aimed at prioritizing the needs of the people over party politics.

                  Key proposals include raising the tax-free threshold, reforming childcare support, and making superannuation voluntary with elected boards. He also discusses key economic policies aimed at providing financial relief to families, including tax cuts and the establishment of a public bank. He also outlines a political strategy to implement these policies by gaining a balance of power in the Senate.

                  The discussion also touches on the challenges posed by bureaucracy, the importance of community engagement, and the need for accountability in health policies, particularly regarding vaccine injuries. Gerard emphasizes the role of parents in addressing health crises and advocates for a more self-reliant society.
