Yep, that's Vicki Dunstan (aka Vicki Hannah to older scios).
Looks like a few old friends are still "serving the cause".

I don't really know but I would guess something lke:
Fully hatted OT or Fully hatted OT ambassador. Just a guess. But their promo is simple minded like that. It seems to make him feel real important.

This guy has a rather interesting Freewinds shirt, I haven't seen that logo before, does anyone know what it means?

Great Job Guys!!

Really excellent work guys -you do yourselves proud. As soon as my m%$#er-f**king broadband decides to speed up... I will be able to watch the video!

Awesome pics and yeah, that's Vicki alright (great shot of her giving you the bird!!! WOW)


Keep up the good work.

lol damn your quick Kookaburra, beat me to the punch on my own videos!

I had just uploaded part 3, but Vimeo has failed on me again so its going to be another 2 hours uploading again. I'm uploading the vid with OSA now, funny stuff!


btw, have you managed to get your footage off your camera?

lol. Don't worry I can assure you it is Vicki. Tamphex had a nice long chat with her (they are old friends).

See here: http://vimeo.com/8478519

and aww, ESMB doesn't do vimeo embedding.

I'm an Aussie and pretty much the only thing I understood over the traffic noises was the bird calls. (Interjection: How awesome were the bird calls in inner Sydney?)

Transcript anyone?

PS. That photo of Vicki is already in the inboxes of several journos. :D

Sadly the audio on my video camera is quite terrible (I could make out most of what tamphex said though). I'll talk to tamphex about doing a transcript/subtitling job.

Nice work! I could provide an un-watermarked higher-res or unaltered if necessary.

Great pics, recognised lots of faces there, SO & public, shame about the sound on the vids though.

BTW, the bird calls, if you're interested, are from the Indian Mynah, an introduced species that has become a pest in just about all cities in Oz, rather fitting they are featured in the vids then really.

Yes, I saw them there and thought you might be still editing the next part. The sound in part 1 and 2 is much better than in the interview with Vicky. I got the idea you were backed off a ways and that was probably why the background noise was so loud.

Mine is still on my camera. I don't know that I'd have anything better than yours. Holding the camera still was secondary importance to what I was saying, so it's gonna be pretty erratic. I may look it over to see if we can get any other faces that are not on what you shot.

I'd like to get a list of who was at that event, so we know who is still in. And an accurate headcount. Both SO and public. It looked like a pretty good turnout. Are you guys that recognized people game for this?

Ones that I know

There are some here I've named.

Oh my what a fantastic day it was!

Undoubtedly the whole Sydney field was out there, there was easily over a 100 of them, the most I have ever seen! And they all got entubulated real hard.

Of course, on to the pictures, I'm hoping you local ex's will be able to identify people you know here, I tried to get a fair few people shots to assist in figuring out who's still in and whatnot.

This was there scene outside AOSH ANZO early on.

4229992822_872d40cab9_b.jpg


Typical OSA with camera, does anyone know who she is? Guy on the right is Mike from OSA, more on him later.

4229993422_dbc4e43813_b.jpg


Scientologists starting to arrive, none to pleased at our presence it seems, OSA lady on the left briefing them.

4229993950_ed6952bb8e_b.jpg


Yep, this guy is definitely not happy to see us.

The guy pointing is Ken Nietche.
Lady with the black bag over her shoulder is Debbie Champion.
Looks like Steve Keegan hidden behind red-shirted kid in front of Deb.
4229226209_b993732000_b.jpg


The lady in the middle there just had a chat with David Graham (old friend?), now she's being handled by OSA lady on the right.

Looks like Seth Fitzgerald in kharki T-shirt in middle of photo.

4229226509_998f1798b7_b.jpg


4229995452_b29d06b4a0_b.jpg


Here is OSA Mike again, he is a rather friendly chap, unlike another OSA guy we ran into later.
He's talking to Pat Molloy, SO member who was banished to Adelaide for years because his wife became pregnant. Now back in Sydney.
4229227489_3af58af0a7.jpg


Here's Bevan, this is the guy Aaron Saxton had a long convo with on the 19th, also a rather friendly chap.

4229227841_5761de0339_b.jpg


Ahhhh, Virginia! Long time no see!

4229228087_15dd2e5815_b.jpg

Checking out our signs...
Hilary Shead to far right of picture.
4229228783_8e13054e12_b.jpg


Wow, she is pissed! Thats some serious down-tone right there.

Michael King in blue shirt with hands in pockets.

4229229329_7eccce06d3_b.jpg


A mag someone carried into the org, it reads "Advanced Clinical course lectures", I guess some sci's already knew what was coming?

4229229579_3b5ff8a76c_b.jpg


Guy on the left is Simon(?) - haven't seen him since the late 80s. Lady with the purple dress is Di Deering.
4229998014_a853ee63c1_b.jpg


The guy on the right is not a friendly chap, I asked him nicely last month to take a flyer and he just snarls and keeps walking straight ahead.
Stu Heggie. In front of him is Saul Hilderbrandt.

4229998386_226bb634ae_b.jpg


This guy is just chillin'

4229230501_fddae24bab_b.jpg


VICKI DUNSTAN, PRESIDENT OF SCIENTOLOGY AUSTRALIA.
Giving me the finger!
Oooooohhhhh Yeah! :happydance:
That ones gonna come back to haunt you ;)

4229230911_99233bbe59_b.jpg


She seems rather pleased with herself after that :D

4229999382_04f403ac30_b.jpg


The elusive Alex makes an appearance! We haven't seen her for a long time, its a pity she stopped coming out and talking to us, she was nice.

Guy on the right in the suit is Dennis Martin. He's a good guy who seems to come and go and hasn't spent too much money or time on the cult.

4229999784_8d1c6b5f5a_b.jpg


For some reason they closed off the main door to the org and everyone was to move in through the side door.
Oh and look, its Cyrus books in the background!

4230000132_57437cd155_b.jpg


Oh SH-
Next to him is Guy Taylor.
4229232183_bfe1c6f91a.jpg


Heres an interesting shot, President, Vice president, and OSA ANZO all in the same shot!

4230000956_12759b026d_b.jpg


And heres the lovable Tojo!
Tojo was manning the end of the street, bodyrouting any unsuspecting Scientologists off to enter the org from the other end.

4229232463_562e58e37f.jpg


Tojo again, in deep contemplation.

4229233251_6522f41c36.jpg


This can be best summed up with "WTF IS THIS SHIT!!?!?!" (point at anon) :rofl:

OSA missionaire with Edward Dickey, Security Chief still?
4230001834_27225f525c_b.jpg


This guy has a rather interesting Freewinds shirt, I haven't seen that logo before, does anyone know what it means?

4230002080_49f679b4d2.jpg


This guy was hanging around the door most of the time.

4230002352_00709aea52.jpg


YESSS, CYRUS BROOKS FACEPALM! I believe it was due to a comment made by tamphex.

You can download all the pics higher res here


Stay tuned for video and other stuff, LOTS of really great footage including tamphex's candid conversation with Vicki, Kookaburra shouting, and talks with OSA.

Derek (White?)- black hair, black glasses - is next to Ken Nitsche.

Lady with long brown hair holding plastic cup in same photo with Saul Hildebrand and Stuart Heggie is Gay Morrow.

Full name for Bevan is Bevan Berry.

Wow, Nice work already Scooter and Minnie!

All my videos are now online

Part 1: http://vimeo.com/8479397
Part 2: http://vimeo.com/8480662
Part 3: http://vimeo.com/8482194
Chat with Vicki Dunstan: http://vimeo.com/8478519
Some fun with OSA and Vicki : http://vimeo.com/8481823

Part 1 and 2 are mostly footage of the sci's arriving + protesting
Part 3 is mostly anonymous shenanigans + some scilon footage
The stuff with OSA is pretty funny, I especially lol'd when OSA Mike comes around the corner and he points to our chalk signs and hes like 'oh whats this?'

Audio is pretty terrible throughout though.


BTW: Has anyone spotted Wendy Honnor in the pics or vids? I think she was suppose to be at the Sydney event.

Looks like they had more fun outside the event than inside. Great pics and vids. Thanks for the report.

And I had the same thought Panda had....OT Doctorate Course grad.

Hi Israeli,

Glad to see you on this side of the fence. I was the one screaming myself horse at that event.

I'm curious how the demonstrations come across to those inside. Do the faithful ever talk about the issues raised by the demonstrators? Do you think it arouses doubts among those in? Or are we successfully ignored?
