This is the video Triccy published 22 November 2024 about what we found and the actions taken.  As the video contains sample images from the exhibition, we have set this one to adults only on You Tube so you will need to be logged in with a suitable YouTube account to watch it.

TRANSCRIPT:

Triccy:
Hey guys, Triccy here from The People's Revolution. Myself and a small team headed down to HOTA late last week, which is Home of the Arts. It's an exhibition centre on the Gold Coast. We had complaints that there's some pretty derogatory material have been exposed to children inside there. So we did some research. We found that they are using popular kids' characters such as Emma Wiggle from the Wiggles and also offering free tickets to children up to the age of 16. So they are encouraging kids to visit this display. We took a driver down, we did some filming inside the display and what we saw was themes of bestiality, themes of suicide, males constantly exposing their private parts and other such adult material. So we had a chat to the manager and she made two main excuses. The first excuse being that it's considered art and it's up to the interpretation of the viewer.

Facebook post by HOTA advertising the exhibition, with Emma Wiggle pictured prominently.

Now I don't have an issue with that if the viewer was an adult and off mature mind, but the fact that they are luring kids in there by using Emma Wiggle and offering tickets up to the age of 16. So we're talking about one-year-olds, five-year-olds, nine-year-olds, 12-year-olds, 15-year-olds. This is not suitable material for them and left up to the interpretation. So I want to ask if somebody held a loaded gun to somebody's head, is that considered a violent act or is it left up to the interpretation of the person involved? It's not up to the interpretation. That's a violent act. Now the second excuse she made was that we leave it up to the adults to make the decision on whether it's suitable for their child. I'm sorry, but that's another invalid response because the adult can only make their mind up once they're in their display and by that stage, the child has already been exposed to this graphic content.

Now we're not here to ... Actually, I'll take one step back. Part of our research, we determined that they are in breach of the criminal code. 1899 Queensland Criminal Code, Section 210, subsection 1e states that you are guilty of a crime if you willfully expose a child under the age of 16 to indecent material. And there's plenty of indecent material in there as I've already described. And we've had legal advice and that legal advice suggests that these guys are in clear breach of the criminal code.

Now we're not here to restrict adults rights to access this. We're not about that. We're about protecting the minds of our young children.

The key factor here is that this is a council owned building. Therefore, it is owned by the people. We are the taxpayers. We are the people and we want remedy, which is to lift the age of entry to 18 and above.

We've made two formal complaints. One was to HOTA themselves and one was to the Gold Coast City Council because it is a council building. Therefore, it has our right to make this complaint. We've given them until the close of business on Tuesday, the 2nd of May, 2023 to rectify this situation.

We do not believe that they will make this rectification without a pushback from the public. So we are now calling on the public to ready themselves to join us in a campaign.

Now, we'll be uploading a package onto the website, which is the peoplesrevolution.com. Au. In this package, you will find the promotional material used by HOTA, which includes Emma Wiggle and offering off the free tickets. You'll find photographs of what is on display inside Popmasters, which is the name of the display inside HOTA. And you'll find a copy of section 210 of the criminal code and you'll find a paragraph which you may want to use when you go into your local police station to make the complaint that we are encouraging people to do.

We'll contact you when that's necessary. We just want to wait and get a reply first. And that paragraph you can use to help you to prop yourself to prepare what to say to these police to take you more seriously. We also will include the phone number and email of both the Gold Coast City Council and HOTA themselves and we want you guys to flood them.

So it's going to be two steps, guys. One is to get everybody to go to the local police station and make a formal complaint using the criminal code and proof of what is on exhibit inside HOTA and also mass phone calls and mass emails to both the Gold Coast Council and HOTA. We think this will be enough pressure for these guys to crumble and simply lift the age to 18 and plus and make it a more suitable display.

We want clear warnings on both the website and in person at HOTA that state that this display is not suitable for children under the age of 18 and entry will be refused to anyone under the age of 18. That's a pretty simple request we believe. We'll contact you soon guys. Here's the video.

HOTA, "Home of the Arts" building on the Gold Coast.

So you can clearly see adults penis be inserted into a dog's anus over here, presumably dead people hanging up, upside down, dogs attacking people. So this is the already on display here. Don't forget that this is access to all children.

Free tickets were being given to children is promoted to Emma Wiggle and The Wiggles. Check out this one here. I'll let your own eyes identify which you want to identify in that one. It's all the same theme throughout here.

So the problem with what we're seeing here is that it was promoted by Emma Wiggle, the character from the Wiggles. They were given free tickets to children of all ages, three and under are free. And during the promotional period, kids above age of four were free as well.

So we keep going around. Again, seems to be a pretty common theme. Not quite sure what's going on here, but you get some black figures.

Looks like they're almost begging for a skull. I'm not sure what that resemblance, but just don't forget that there's kids coming through here. So that was the left side of the display. It's only a fairly small display. Take it through the right hand side. Again, more naked women, pink and green-haired lesbians over here. Presumably homosexuals up there.

Person 1:
No, not

Triccy:
Too bad. Over here looks instant enough when the general theme things, the angles of those monkeys do suggest something. And then behind the monkeys is more nudity. The women's nipples are exposed. So one of these things by themselves could be considered instant enough, but when you put them all together, there is definitely a theme here.

When you understand that this being promoted to children by famous children's characters like Emma, free tickets being given to children, they are trying to lure the children here.

Come back to this piece here. When the children walk around, like I said, picture five year olds walking around this place, they're not often mature minds set yet. I'm not sure anyone that calls that art. It's bestiality.

So very interesting. So we've got printouts here. We only have a chat. Is there a manager, a supervisor on duty we can have a chat to?

Person 2:
 Yeah, she's out here. I'll just ... Cool. Is there anything you wanted to know about it?

Triccy:
Yeah, we'd like to actually back up complain about some of the stuff.

Person 2:
Oh, okay. Yeah, sure. Supervisor, this is over. Here we go. 

Triccy:
Hey, how you doing? My name's Tristan. Nice to meet you. Yeah,

Person 1:
Nice to meet you too.

Triccy:
Got some concerns with the display here. So this is off your own website and says if you're aware of any issue or incident that impacts on your own or others healthy or safety, we think there's some psychosocial safety risks in there in regards to minors being allowed in.

Also off your website, the use of language or display of any sign, item and material, which is offensive or objectionable according to community norms, including content, which is sexually explicit, expresses racial hatred or represents violence. So this is against your own conduct.

Person 1:
Sorry, you've got this from the website.

Triccy:
So this is where the problem starts with. So in our eyes here, you've used kids' popular character from The Wiggles and a Wiggle to promote this event.

You're offering free tickets to children, so you're obviously encouraging children to come to this display. On display is the next problem.

Person 1:
Okay.

Triccy:
Yeah. Stuff like this, that's beastiality. That's a man's man's-

Person 1:
I mean, it's up to interpretation. It could be.

Triccy:
It

Person 1:
Could be. We do have the warnings on the front of the gallery as well.

Triccy:
Yeah, that's fine. But somebody bins their children here, they might not see that tiny little sign or walk trade past it.

Person 1:
We do mention to families when they walk in as well. 

Triccy:
Yeah, yhat's good. That's good.

Triccy:
But you're also promoting the children too by using popular kids' characters and offering free tickets.

Person 1:
We encourage families and kids to come in to enjoy the work.

Triccy:
That's cool. Other players might be fine, but our issue is with stuff like this. What it looks to be, I think the assessment for many people would be an erect penis going to the anus of a dog,

Person 1:
This

Triccy:
Bestiality.

Person 1:
Yeah. That's why we mentioned to everyone that to avoid that work if they feel like it might be.

Triccy:
That's cool. I'm going somewhere with this. Another thing here looks like there's possibly something being probed into another, another adult. Look, one of these things by themselves, it could be looked over a bit, but there's a general theme going on here. There's dead people hanging from branches here, dogs ripping people apart.

Person 1:
They can ... Yeah, no, I understand

Triccy:
That you might ... It's on display everywhere, more there. And for adults, they can come in here. They can make their choice. They come in, they can use their mature mind to ... And that's

Person 1:
Why we say kids walking in over need becomes an adult so that they can help them make that ... So the adults can make that decision.

Triccy:
The problem is once they're here, a young mind's already being taken around and have seen it.

Person 1:
Objective whether or not they would like to take their kids here at the end of the day.

Triccy:
That's right. Let me just run through this quickly, just so you know. So you've seen what I need to show you. So there's homosexual images there, presumably possibly lesbians there with Jaden's suicide. That's interesting. So in here, if you look carefully, I've highlighted some things. Jump off the Empire State Building. So Iodine. Camera girl. So camera girl is when you pay something online, you ask them to do things, they do it for you. Suicide attempt, hospitalised, all these things with all these .

Person 1:
Images

Triccy:
Are leading to something. That's interesting enough. You got a monkey there, monkey there, you're tight into all this. It looks like you're doing probably a sexual act behind other monkey, then you got nudity behind it. So we're keeping going, but it's not aside.

Person 1:
Of course the artworks are up to interpretation and everyone is entitled to. But so if you have an issue with the artworks and you really, you obviously have good feelings for it. So we encourage you just to email us, give us an email at hello.

Triccy:
Yeah, I'm sure that will be happening, but this is the important thing that I want you to hear. So my name's Tristan from the People's Revolution. We've got about 51,000 members nationwide. I'm here today representing them. There's been big commotion made about this in the public. People are unhappy and we advocate for the fair and equal achievement of all beings. We're undiscriminated against anyone. We draw the line when young minds are being influenced as part of an agenda. We believe this is a part of an agenda. Okay.

Person 1:
But there's nothing that I can do for you today in terms of this. That's right.

Triccy:
Just let me explain this to you because you are in breach of the criminal code. 

Person 1:
I mean, I'm the supervisor of the gallery for the staff members.

Triccy:
Not you personally, maybe, maybe. And this is not a personal fact on you, so I want you to do this. 

Person 1:
But what I'm saying is the best way for you to go forward would be to send us an email or give us a call because I'm not the right person to talk to. 

Triccy:
Yeah, that's right. I just need to show you this part and just make you understand what's happening here. So this is criminal code 1899, section 21018 there without legitimate reason, wilfully ... So start back here. 

Person 1:
I'm not going to remember any of this.

Triccy:
That's all right. That's fine. I'll give you the copy so you've got it.

Person 1:
No, that's okay. I don't need one personally. Any person- You can email it or send it through. Yep,

Triccy:
That's fine. Any person who, without legitimate reason, wilfully exposes a child under the age of 16 years to any indecent object or any indecent film, videotape, audiotape, picture, photograph, or printed or written matter is guilty of an indictable offence. This is serious, okay?  This is what's happening here. This is our opinion that's going on. We believe this building is in breach of it.

Person 1:
Thank you. So I'm sorry, I understand you have your opinion, but I don't have to stand here and listen to this anymore because I don't agree with your opinions. So I have security that are coming now and you can have a chat to them if you like.

Triccy:
Yeah. All I'll say now is if the age-

Person 1:
Because there is people trying to enjoy the artwork. Yeah, we can go anywhere you

Triccy:
Want to go and talk over there.

Person 1:
No, you can talk to security

Triccy:
Now. The minimum age isn't raised at least 16. We're

Person 1:
Currently 18. I've told you everything that I can. 

Triccy:
That's cool. We'll be reporting you to the police.

Person 1:
So you can, you can do whatever you like and send it through to hello. 

Triccy:
So because we do believe there's offences being committed here, so we're going to have to take it further. 

Person 1:
It's your opinion. 

Triccy:
No worries. Well, it's actually written in the law.

Person 1:
They're in the way. They'll have a

Triccy:
Chat when they can.

Person 1:
On their way right now. If we can escort you over there, let me show you the way.

Triccy:
So they're not very receptive idea. The call and security, which is fine, we'll have a chat for them and we'll see where it goes. So basically, you should ask her the consciousness of her thoughts regarding. And their excuse is, well, they should be here with an adult.

Okay. If they do come here with an adult, they're already being exposed to what's going on. The young minds are already being exposed to these graphic images, bestiality, all this sort of thing. So this being a public building, this is a council owned and which means it's owned by the people. I'm saying by the people and these and we're going to allow this to happen, well, we need to draw a line somewhere and that's why we're here today. There is an agenda behind this and we're not going to sit by and watch what happens to this.

Anyway, what can we do for you? Well, I've tried to explain to the manager over here that we believe this building's actually in breach of the criminal code. All we want to do is express ... Let me go back to page just so I can show you. I know you're doing your job, that's fine by us.

So any person who, this is criminal code 1899 Section 2101E, we're going to go to any person who without legitimate reason, wilfully exposes a child under age of 16 to any indecent object or any indecent film, videotape, audio tape, picture, photograph, or printed a written matter, is guilty of an indictable offence. Have you been in there and seen ... So this is the main one. Okay, flip through this quickly. We can see what's going on here.

Person 2:
Okay. Do you believe that's the case? Have you been to a police station?

Triccy:
Well,

Person 2:
This one I was going to explain to her that she- If you believe it's criminal matter, I'm an ex QPS officer. Yeah. Okay.

Triccy:
Yeah, that's fine. No worries. 

Person 2:
That's fine. Lost me. I'm Tristan. Okay, Trist. In regards to this, the options that you have is either going to the police regarding if you believe it's criminal matter. We're not making a close report or what you didn't do is getting in touch with the local counsellor.

Person 1:
Yes,

Triccy:
Because that is one of the issues. If this was a private establishment and it's 18 only and they can make their choices to come here, they can watch whatever ... This is a people owned building council, people buy taxpayers money. 

Person 2:
Yeah, you probably need to go.

Triccy:
To the

Person 2:
Council.

Triccy:
But they've been promoting it through Emerald kids, pre-tickets to the kids. And then when they walk in, they're seeing content, which I don't think a young mine should be exposed to. And we're here representing 51,000 people that are not happy with this sort of stuff. There's bestiality, there's people hanging from trees, it's nonstop in there. One of those things by itself might be fair enough. And I'm not here to make trouble. I'm here because I'm representing people that are really concerned with what's not just going on here, but in society in general, there is a sharp bias and a lot of stuff.

Person 2:
A lot of this is all because it's classes are, that's where you start getting into that grey area and so that's where it's probably best to go to financial, either cancel it first, get no joy there because you got the criminal cade, you can go ahead and by all means, go to the police and put a report in.

Triccy:
Yeah. Well, that's what we ... We didn't want to have to go do that. We were hoping that when we spoke to the manager And maybe- 

Person 2:
You're not going to get pulled because it's only five weeks to go and then it's finished. 

Triccy:
We don't want to get it pulled at all. We advocate for the freedom and rights of everyone. We don't want to restrict people's access. We want to raise the age to 18 and only. So that's a more decent way for us to decide to be operating. You can't look kids in here promoting with kids' famous characters. Once they're in there, they're already exposed to it. By the time the adult sees what's going on, my shit, this is not suitable. It's too late. And we're not a group that are coming around to make travel. We're here because we care about ...

Person 2:
Have you gone ahead and express your views via going onto the council website?

Triccy:
This is the first thing we're doing. We wanted just to explain what's going on here and then I've actually made the manager aware that she's actually liable under this code as well, manager that operates on the premises, allowing this to happen. I don't have any issues with any person. It's not a personal thing, but I'm just going to make people aware what we feel is taking place. So I've spoken to my lawyer, she says this is- That's

Person 2:
Why if you it's that strongly type, you've got the option of going through council first to see if you get it because the council owns the building, but. So it's especially like council rents the building to

Triccy:
High extent. And that's one of the issues, isn't it? Because council operates with taxpayers and so therefore we feel we do have a really a say because this is ...

Person 2:
I know, but that's where you're getting into that greater, because council is only owning the building, they're not actually running the gallery.

Triccy:
Yes. Yeah. Okay. But obviously, if it's our money, they're renting that have provided this establishment, there's also liability on their behalf or responsibility on their behalf to make sure that these things aren't having people own facilities.

Person 2:
That's where you're getting really into the grey area. It just be like having community hall and renting out for a gathering. It's the actual motive of the gathering that are liable for anything that happens in that building, not the council because they're renting it out.

Triccy:
Yeah. So all this is the people want to voice the concerns about ... We perceive it as our buildings because our money has built this thing, literally built this thing and we don't want the young minds of our society being exposed to things indecently. And this is interesting.This is actually hotters website. The use of language or display of any sign item material which is offensive or objectionable according to community norms is thickening dick in it. So Tiffany penis and a dog's anus social enorms, including content, sorry, including content which is sexually explicit, this is on the own thing. And all of a sudden it's all right to Lulu kids ... Louis might be a strong word, but to me, the luring kids in by advertising using famous kids, characters, offering free tickets and then they walk in and they see that. I feel like we're responsible to do something about this.

Person 2:
Like I said to you, probably the best option. Cancel

Triccy:
First.

Person 2:
Cancel. You've got hotter. Yep.

Triccy:
Criminal card stack to the cops

Person 2:
Too.

Triccy:
Yep. And yeah, like I said, it's not ... I'm acting on behalf of a lot of people here.

Person 2:
So if you just do it one, two,

Triccy:
Three,

Person 2:
Probably start the higher first

Triccy:
Because

Person 2:
They're the ones that actually put on the spike and then council and then you've got.

Triccy:
But like I said, we're not here to ruin anyone's fund. Adults, they can make their own mind up. It's just the fact that they're promoting it to kids and once they get in there, they're seeing that sort of stuff. Appreciate you, man. You've handled it well.

Person 2:
Thank you. No worries at all. Yeah, if you do that, just do the one, two, three, that way you've covered all bases. Yeah, no worries. All right. And by all means, you can go to the police.

Triccy:
Yeah. Well, we will be just off the bat so they know what's going on. 

Person 2:
And you can go because I'll ask you, if you've said you've already gone one, two, three, you've already been off-

Triccy:
Cover your bases a bit.

Person 2:
Yeah. Copy your bases and then you've

Triccy:
Got everything

Person 2:
Done.

Triccy:
Look, and this sort of ties in with this unignorables, massively sharp rise in transgender confusion and all this sort of stuff. So this supports it. Because I drag things going into kindergartens, primary schools.

Person 2:
The unfortunate thing is that what we have with today's day and age, everything's changing constantly. It is. It is. And everyone's got their own personal opinion. This is different.

Triccy:
And I think if we see things changing that we don't think it's for the best interest, especially at the young children, then we need to step in and do something about it as a society, as a people. They care about the kids. And

Person 2:
That's why I said if you make your views, yeah- I will. I was

Triccy:
Just having a challenge.

Person 2:
And then the council and then you've got the third option going to the police. You obviously researched it. If you do it that way, because the police will ask you

Triccy:
What else have you done.

Person 2:
Yeah, correct. And if you say you've done this and there's been no response, done this, no response, then this is your only option. Yeah.

Triccy:
No worries, man. Okay. All right. Thanks for helping.

Person 2:
No worries.

Triccy:
We get a refund on that now.

Person 2:
I can't help you.

Triccy:
So we've explained the situation, which is they're alluring in children by using famous kids' characters. They're offering free tickets to children of all ages. Once these children in there, they're exposed to adult themes, bestiality, well, we'll attach these images. We'll attach these images so you guys can see it. '

Basiality, penises, people hanging from trees dead, talking about suicide. There's a theme of suicide in there.

There was two lesbians perceived to be lesbians. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're just girls that like held and girls with funny coloured hair. That's the odd presumption to take. The name at the top there was Jaden Suicide. In different art pieces, the word suicide was mentioned multiple times.

Jumping off the state empire building, there's subliminal messaging going on and I don't think this is innocent. I really don't. I wouldn't be here wasting my time if I thought this was just some innocent art display. They are targeting our children. This is part from a big agenda.

I tried to explain that to the manager in there. She's obviously probably not at a ... He took it very personal and she got defensive and said, "I don't have to sit here and listen to this." Although I was speaking very calmly to her and trying to just advise her of what's going on and that there is breaches of the criminal code taking place in a building that she's operating and actually under the coach, she's liable as the manager. She didn't want to hear that. Carl got security to threaten me out. The security guard was very, very approachable.

He respected me. I respected him and we had the conversation.

For some reason, I got to feel that he's on side with what we're doing here today. And I think the vast majority of Australians do not want to see drag queens going into kindergarten's primary schools and influencing the minds of the young, encouraging them to be cross-dressed as drag queens, confusing their gender. And this we believe I'm pretty sure certain office ties in with that agenda to target the minds of the young.

So it's pretty disgusting what we're seeing here today guys in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I'll speak to my lawyer now and we're going to work out
