On the first episode of my new podcast show, “Realtime with Rukshan,” I am joined by Monica Smit, a political activist and freedom fighter based in Melbourne.
During this tell-all interview, we delve into Monica’s often controversial activism campaigns, particularly during the lockdowns in Victoria, and explore the profound impact her work has had on her personal and professional life.
We discuss Monica’s experience of being incarcerated for allegedly “inciting protests” in Melbourne, as well as address the criticisms raised concerning the financial transparency of the organisation she leads.
Listen along as we unravel the complexities surrounding Monica’s activism, the challenges she has faced, and the controversies that have shaped her journey.
At least you did stand up for what you believe and not go with the crowd like sheep
theres always a bit of grifting in activism. dont feel bad about it
God Bless you Monika. Thank you for sharing the facts about what you lived through. X ❤️
Monica, your a godsend to me and many others. Keep going beautiful.
Appreciated this chat, Rukshan and Monica. You're both legends – true HEROES- from the pandemic. I thank God for who and what you both were and achieved during a dire season in Australia. Bless you guys.
I hope you persist with this format Rukshan, you're good at it.
Both of you have done great fantastic work in the past and it is much appreciated. Ignore the nay sayers and just do your thing as genuine people know where your hearts lie and will simply ignore all the bullshit thrown at you.❤️❤️❤️
It's shameful the way the majority of humans in Australia supported the narrow minded enforcement of deliberate injustice on it's own citizens… a breeding ground for fear, ignorance and communism … always stand for whats true and right people, and God has your back against evil.
Shes no hero or her fiance … lieing crooks, opportunists, profiteers thats it…
You two are fantastic at grifting! Keep up the great work, leeches!
"freedom fighter" ahahahaha the aussies OPENLY GAVE THE GOV the guns they had WITHOUT A FIGHT
Cops and media went after anyone with a following to make an example out of them ,to scare others off . Your a champ monica for standing your ground.
Thank you both for this important interview ❤
The media smashing Monica was the beginning of smashing women standing up for basic human rights. Mysogyny much!
Because Dicktator Dan is behind the vilification of Monica! Go Monica and Rukshan! ❤️
Coupla legends right there. Thanks Rukshan and Monica.
🇦🇺🦘👍
Monica you are an inspiration to so many, thank you for being a voice against the injustice that was done to us by the tyrants that govern us. Thank you Rukshan for bringing real and truthful news to the people. Monica, enjoy the well deserved holiday 🙂 You two are both awesome humans.
What happened to the independent Aussie spirit. What a shameful disgrace. Monica's experience has exposed a fake democracy in Australia, I am amazed at the backlash unleashed on a brave Australian citizen having their own point of view. Are we now a nation of global domination clones ?
Natural leader 😇
Thank you Monica for what you have done for Australia.
Go Monica!!
Is Monica still with her partner? You are an inspiration to many, I wish more Aussies had a backbone to stand up. Well we would definitely have a stronger stance against dictator Dan
This was a battle of street wise and common sense vs education and power. Those involved in education, media and politics have been found wanting. They lost.
Amazing Girl. Steel resolve. Unbridled passion. An inspiration.
This was good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It was meeting Monica. thank you.
I love that you are going to be you Monica, even though I thought RDA was awesome also. Thank you so much for everything you have done and I hope that you start to feel again. And thank you Rukshan for a brilliant and open interview, and also for your work over the these years. ❤
