Journey

“Good evening, thank you all so much for coming. My name is Rebecca Lloyd, and I am the spokeswoman and marketing director for Advanced Australia Fare. Today, I will be speaking to you about NoVaxID, which is all about fairness for everyone.

“During this presentation, I will discuss how we can achieve the goals that Julia mentioned earlier. This approach is non-violent yet highly effective, and it can be applied every day of the year. We don’t have to wait for elections every two or four years to make a difference. As the lady here mentioned, some may argue that the electoral system is rigged, but that shouldn’t discourage us from taking action. By adopting this approach, we can fight back and make a difference.”

She will explain how to help small business owners during COVID and rebuild later. They use the analogy of Super Mario Brothers to suggest focusing on fighting for the nation, family, and children’s future instead of getting tired of fighting enemies on social media. The presentation covers small business stats and how to drive change through NoVaxID website, with next steps to be taken immediately.

Small businesses are currently responsible for creating jobs, and they are the backbone of our economy. Small businesses employ 97.4% of the workforce, meaning that out of every 100 people in the community, 97.4% are employed by a small business owner. This statistic shows that we are all affected by business, and even large businesses, such as Coles and Woolworths, employ only a small fraction of the workforce.

The current vaccine mandates and threats of firing do not affect small businesses as much as larger corporations. This is because most of us are employed by small business owners with 0 to 19 employees. These small businesses operate in various industry sectors, including healthcare and social assistance, retail trade, professional scientific and tech services, construction, and accommodation and food services. These sectors make up the lion’s share of the workforce.

All the statistics presented in this evening’s discussion are from reliable sources such as Australian government statistical websites. It is essential to know that small businesses have been declining for a very long time, and the pandemic has only highlighted this issue. According to a small business report, around 78% of businesses across Australia reported a decline in business as of December 2020.

Small business is suffering, and it is crucial to understand that without small businesses, our employment prospects are nearly zero, and the future of our nation is compromised. It means a potential 50% job loss across the board, which can have significant economic and social consequences.

Therefore, we need to support small businesses and help them survive during these challenging times. They are the backbone of our economy and the key to our future prosperity.

“Potential job loss, so this room is fairly well divided. So, 50 of you over there, that’s it, sorry, no job, sorry for that, that’s just the way it is. The hardest-hit sectors by the vaccine mandates are ironically healthcare and social assistance, your nurses, your ambos, the retail trade, professional scientific and tech services, construction. We’ve just seen all those blokes pretty upset about that, and the mining sector as well, let’s talk about that too. Accommodation and food services and education and training.

I personally have a friend who has just quit his job with no jab, he works in NDIS, and another friend who is facing no job, no jab, who is a teacher. Both wonderful people highly recognized by their institutions that they work for, but the small businesses are quite frankly scared, and so they are looking at either losing their job or have already lost their job.

As individuals, we may not have the same resources as others, but we still have opinions and are part of a community. Everyone in the room is opinionated, or they wouldn’t be there, they’d be at home watching Netflix.

The speaker begins by stating that they are not educating the audience, but rather showing them how the puzzle pieces fit together in regards to the problem and solution. They discuss the current situation with vaccination rates and the impact on small businesses. The speaker mentions that if the media’s numbers are correct, up to 70% of people have been vaccinated while 30% have not. This means that small businesses face a potential 30-50% job loss due to unvaccinated employees. The speaker then discusses the implementation of vaccine passports, which will further impact small businesses by requiring them to deny service to unvaccinated individuals, resulting in further revenue loss. The speaker expresses frustration with being forced to act against their conscience and being oppressed due to multiple lockdowns and job losses.

Key quotes:

• “I’m not educating you right now because you all know this stuff and that’s why you’re here. I’m just showing you that the solution…so you will see how the puzzle pieces fit together with the problem and the solution.”
• “If the numbers are correct…that means around 30% of people are not vaccinated…so loss in the data revenue.”
• “Already as a small business owner you have to fire fifty percent of your people…because they refuse to get the jab.”
• “Now as a small business owner I now must roll this out as part of the government…I have to act against my conscience.”
• “Not only have I had multiple job losses, multiple lockdowns, multiple job losses, I now also have a pretty substantial loss financially because I now can’t serve people that don’t have their vaccines.”

The speaker discusses the increase in spending in Australia over the past year, particularly in online shopping for home goods, media products, and groceries. They note that much of this spending is going to foreign stores such as Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress, rather than supporting local small businesses. The speaker emphasizes the importance of supporting local businesses and communities, highlighting the benefits of using services like a mobile hairdresser who charges less but provides great service.

Key quotes:

• “Spending in Australia over the last year has actually gone up an extra 20 billion dollars.”
• “Predominantly Australians spent the most online in homewares…media products…and groceries.”
• “This is all profit that is not going back into local communities not even local small business but local communities.”
• “Local small businesses spend money with other local small businesses.”
• “Let’s get Sally the mobile hairdresser…you can get the whole family cut…and do it at the house.”

The speaker discusses the increase in spending in Australia over the last 18 months, particularly in online shopping. They note that while it may be convenient to shop with major foreign stores like Amazon, the money spent goes offshore and does not benefit the local community. They encourage supporting local businesses, which in turn supports other local businesses and raises the community up. The speaker also highlights the fees small businesses have to pay to list on foreign platforms and the challenges they face due to lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and staff shortages. They emphasize the importance of supporting local businesses, stating that “your small business collapses, local communities will collapse” and advocating for choosing local businesses as a simple solution.

The speaker discusses the importance of supporting local businesses in order to fight back against government control, pandemic measures, and domination by foreign giants. They emphasize the value of keeping local dollars circulating in the community and the negative effects of sending money offshore. They advocate for using their platform, NoVaxID, as a way to support small businesses that prioritize medical privacy and oppose vaccine passports. The speaker argues that it is not their business to know about customers’ medical choices and that small business owners on their platform care about their families, communities, and businesses. They also acknowledge that some business owners may face consequences for opposing vaccine mandates, but they believe that together, individuals can resist such measures.

Key quotes include:

• “governments pandemics and foreign giants cannot control your household dollar,”
• “when you choose novaxid you are fighting back,”
• “together if we all together step forward they can’t catch everybody, they can’t bully everybody, and then all of a sudden we realize that everybody is the collective strength.”

The speaker discusses a new platform called NoVaxID which is an e-commerce platform designed to give 100% of its profits back to local communities. The speaker emphasizes the importance of supporting small business owners and rebuilding local communities, stating that “every dollar you spend locally and not in a major chain store goes back into local community.” They also mention that NoVaxID is seeking charitable status and hopes to become a tax-free organization. The speaker stresses the importance of taking action to make a better future for the next generation and encourages listeners to spread the word about NoVaxID to help keep the platform’s costs low.

Some key quotes include:

• “all profit goes back into locals”
• “imagine a shopping platform by the people for the people”
• “major changes in foreign stores are not giving 100% profit back into local communities”
• “we say yes to rebuilding Australia for the next generation”
• “every dollar you spend locally and not in a major chain store goes back into local community”

The speaker urges people to support local small businesses, instead of major chain stores and foreign platforms like Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress. They emphasize that supporting local businesses helps the community and the economy, as every dollar spent locally goes back into the community.

The speaker advocates for championing small businesses and allowing them to build factories and create jobs for people who may have trouble finding employment due to various circumstances, such as recidivism or mental illness.

They also promote the idea of a podcast, Small Business Stories, which will feature stories of how small business owners are fighting back against current challenges and tips for small business owners.

The speaker urges listeners to take action by signing up for NoVAXID, shopping locally, and sharing their platform on social media. They highlight that every action, no matter how small, can make a difference in growing their platform and supporting the community.

She concludes by saying, “When you shop local, you will save Australia.”
