TPR is the longest running modern freedom movement in Australia and has existed since the start of the covid lockdowns.  With this level of success, for which we are grateful given the sheer effort that goes in, there are always some opportunistic attention-seeking individuals who know they can say what they like from the cheap seats.  These accusations are distractions from the job at hand, but at this rally Triccy spoke on what happens and also the ongoing 'mechanical' cost of keeping this purely volunteer effort running.

Triccy:
Yes, we do have some red tins getting passed around, guys. For those that want to contribute financially to the movement, now why? Why do we need this to happen? Because any war takes resources to win. It doesn't matter what type of war. We need people's time, people's energy, people's skills and funds. We've got many expenses which enable us to keep these events happening.

Who was around from the start? 2020 King George Square. What were the speakers standard on? The guy with the mic in the hand, what were they standing on? The ground. It was a grey box. We had a little grey box.  That was our stage.

So now we've got a proper stage. We've got speakers, gazebos, megaphones, all that sort of stuff, guys. It takes money. Where are we going to put all this stuff? We hire storage facilities. They're expensive.

We've got email software, which is extremely expensive.  It enables us to communicate with our team (supporters on the mailing list) outside of the censorship of social media. We've got about 60,000 people - TPR members.

Bookkeeping and accounting, data and subscription services. We've got over a thousand dollars just in monthly fees guys, probably closer to 2,000 if you add it up. All right.

All the money that goes with those red tins are clear up a common misconception here. I think a lot of people are instantly thinking that when they put money into those red tins that I get it and it goes to my family. Not one cent has ever gone to my family from those red tins and not one cent will ever go to me and my family. That is money strictly to keeping this movement.

I actually wasn't going to address this, but there's other rumours going around that I'm taking the money, doing house renovations. There's hardcore proof. And when that comes out, that's not just rumour, that terms of defamation.

So for those people saying that shit, you might want to be careful, eh? Forcing drugs onto my misses, that there's no mould on my house that I'm making it up. Proof exists for all these things, guys.

You might be taking little plot shots. I'm at home building a cannon because when you start affecting me, you affect my family. When you affect me, you affect TPR. When you affect TPR, you affect the movement. When you affect TPR in the movement, you're affecting the future generations. So if you want to keep trying your luck keeping, we'll see what happens. We'll see who comes out of top.
