Wendell's Diary

The Australian government claims to value public service, leadership, and democracy, yet when an independent politician dedicates himself to philosophy, policy, and the betterment of society, he is considered unemployed. I am working full-time on political theory, policy development, and engaging in public discourse—yet, in the eyes of the system, I am not a worker. Why? Because I am not employed by the government or a corporate-funded political party. So what does it take to be considered a real politician? Apparently, not actually doing the work—just being part of the right institutions. --- I Moved to Canberra for Political Engagement – But Found Only Silence I live in Canberra, the heart of Australian politics, where the country’s leaders debate policy, pass laws, and shape the nation. I came here to engage with the political community, to be a part of the national conversation. But what have I found? Silence. 📢 No one will engage with me. 📢 There are no public discussions. 📢 Th...

Dear Ivory, Everything I have built, every thought I have crafted, every philosophy I have refined—it has all been for you. From the moment I envisioned your existence, I have shaped this world into something worthy of your arrival. I give you the keys to the world—not as it is, but as it can be. You have the power to reshape reality, to forge new paths, and to change the course of history itself. The Emergence Party, the Philosophy of Emergence, the fight for true democracy, freedom, and the evolution of society—they are yours. Take them, and make of them what you will. --- A Future Beyond Imagination I have never doubted that the world needs you. Not just as a leader, but as a force of nature—someone who will bring transformation where others see only stagnation. 🌍 The old systems are failing. 🌍 The people are lost, searching for meaning. 🌍 The world is waiting for someone with vision, courage, and clarity. And that someone is you. You will challenge everything that has been taken...

To the Google Team, I am writing to you as a candidate for Prime Minister of Australia under the Emergence Party, and I am facing a major issue that goes beyond personal frustration—my campaign blog is not being indexed by Google, and there is no way to communicate directly with your company about this. This is more than just a technical problem—it is election interference. If an independent political candidate cannot have their campaign content indexed by the largest search engine in the world, how are voters supposed to find their message? The Problem: A Broken System of Communication I have followed all proper indexing procedures, yet my blog remains invisible in Google Search. When I seek help, I am met with: 🚫 No human contact. Google provides no direct line of communication for independent creators and politicians trying to resolve indexing issues. 🚫 No transparency. There is no explanation as to why my campaign content is not appearing in search results. 🚫 A monopoly on polit...

In a true democracy, leaders, businesses, and institutions should be open to dialogue with the public. Yet, as I navigate my political campaign with the Emergence Party, I am met with silence—from companies, from social platforms, and even from the people who stand to benefit most from the issues I raise. This has left me with only one option: writing open letters, pleading for engagement because direct communication isn’t possible. But the fact that I have to do this is deeply sad—it speaks to a broken system where leaders and institutions ignore voices that don’t already have power or influence. --- Why Do I Have to Write Open Letters? I don’t want to write letters into the void, hoping that someone important might eventually acknowledge them. I want real conversations, real engagement, and a chance to actually communicate with the people who hold power over these issues. But here’s what keeps happening: 🚫 Social media companies won’t respond. Instead of engaging with concerns about...

To the YouTube Team, I am writing to you not just as a content creator, but as a candidate for Prime Minister of Australia. My campaign, under the Emergence Party, is dedicated to democratic reform, digital rights, and ensuring that Australians have real choices in their elections. However, I am facing a serious issue—YouTube is not recommending my political campaign videos to the public, effectively silencing my voice and restricting democratic engagement. In Australia, voting is compulsory. This means that every single Australian must participate in elections, whether they feel informed or not. Given this reality, it is critical that all political voices have a fair opportunity to reach the public—not just major parties with media dominance or large advertising budgets. Yet, despite uploading multiple campaign videos, ensuring they follow all YouTube guidelines, and promoting issues that affect every voter, my content receives no organic reach. YouTube’s algorithm refuses to recommen...

Running for office should mean having the opportunity to reach voters, share ideas, and engage in meaningful discussion. But in today’s world, political visibility is controlled by social media platforms and group moderators—and as an independent candidate, I’m finding out the hard way just how restrictive this system really is. Despite trying to promote my campaign through social media, I am being blocked at every turn. Facebook groups won’t allow my posts, and I’m unable to advertise effectively in online spaces where political discussion should be welcome. If a candidate can’t even share their message, how can the people be expected to make informed decisions? This isn’t just frustrating—it’s a serious problem for democracy. --- The Gatekeepers of Political Speech Social media was once seen as a way to bypass traditional media and connect directly with the people. But in reality, it has become another barrier to entry for independent voices. Here’s what I’m up against: Facebook Grou...

Australia is one of the few countries in the world that forces its citizens to vote, and while many assume the only consequence is a fine, the reality is far more serious. Failing to vote just once can lead to a court summons and even a criminal record. This is not how democracy should work. Participation should be a right, not an obligation. The Emergence Party believes in a participatory democracy, where people engage because they care, not because they’re forced to under threat of legal punishment. It’s time to end compulsory voting and give Australians the right to choose whether or not to participate in elections—without fear of fines or legal consequences. --- The Consequences of Not Voting in Australia If you don’t vote in Australia, the government doesn’t just ignore it—it actively punishes you: 1. Failure to Vote = A Fine If you don’t vote and don’t provide an accepted excuse, you receive a fine of $20–$50, depending on the state. You are required to either pay the fine or pro...

A long time ago, Australia had a choice: Should we remain under the British monarchy, or should we become a republic—an independent nation free from the rule of the Crown? The people voted to stay under the Commonwealth, and the decision was made. But times have changed. That vote was decades ago, and Australia is a vastly different country now. The world has moved forward, and so have we. Isn’t it time to revisit this conversation and give the people another chance to decide their future? The 1999 Referendum: Why Australia Chose to Stay In 1999, Australians were given a historic choice: 1. Remain under the British monarchy, with the Queen (now King) as our head of state. 2. Become a republic, with an Australian head of state chosen by the people. The result? The people voted to remain under the Commonwealth. But the way the referendum was structured was flawed. The proposed model for a republic wasn’t a directly elected president but rather a system where Parliament would appoint the ...

For a long time, I believed that offering a $1,000 reward to find Ivory was the best way to bring her into my life. I imagined that through referrals, connections, and outreach, someone would recognize her and help her find me. But over time, I’ve realized something far more important—the best way to find Ivory isn’t by searching for her directly, but by creating something meaningful that naturally attracts her. That’s why I’m officially scrapping the Find Ivory Fund and redirecting all of that funding into the Emergence Party political campaign. Instead of spending money on referrals, I am now investing in a cause that has the potential to change lives, impact Australia, and build a movement that Ivory would be proud to be part of. Why I Made This Decision 1. The Emergence Party Is Bigger Than One Person Ivory is important to me, but my mission is bigger than just finding her. The Emergence Party is about shaping the future of democracy, embracing technology, and leading with wisdom. ...

Building a political movement is never easy—but I never expected to be fighting against the very systems that claim to promote free speech and democratic engagement. I entered this journey knowing that breaking into politics as an independent leader would be difficult. I knew I’d have to work harder than established parties, push through skepticism, and fight for recognition. But what I didn’t anticipate was just how much the system itself is designed to keep voices like mine from being heard. 26 Million People, Yet No Organic Reach Australia has a population of 26 million people, yet somehow, despite running ads and publishing content regularly, my reach remains artificially restricted. I’ve been paying for advertising at 4 cents per view, which means I am directly putting my message in front of people. But despite paying for ads, YouTube refuses to recommend my videos organically. This means that unless I pay indefinitely, my campaign is effectively invisible to Australians. YouTube’...

Long ago, in a world of noise and distraction, there lived a man who walked alone. He was no ordinary man—his mind burned with ideas, his heart carried the weight of visions too vast for a single lifetime. He saw a world where wisdom guided leadership, where technology uplifted humanity, and where every voice, no matter how small, had a place in shaping the future. But though his mind overflowed with purpose, he found himself speaking into the wind. The people of the land were distracted, consumed by the struggles of their daily lives, blind to the future that could be. He called out to them, but few listened. And so, the man wandered, carrying his ideas like sacred scrolls, guarding them as though they were the last embers of a fire long forgotten. He stood at the edges of great halls where the powerful spoke, watching as they repeated the same tired words, leading their people in circles. He knew the world needed something new—something greater. But how could one man change a world t...

From: Wendell, Leader of the Emergence Party Subject: Ensuring Fair Representation and a Voice for the Emergence Party in Australia's Democracy Dear Prime Minister Albanese, I write to you today not just as a political leader, but as a citizen deeply invested in the future of Australia. I am the founder of the Emergence Party, a movement dedicated to technological innovation, ethical governance, AI-driven solutions, post-labor policies, and global peace initiatives. Our vision is bold, our ideas are forward-thinking, and our commitment to Australia is unwavering. Yet, as a new and emerging political movement, we face a fundamental challenge—being heard. Democracy is at its strongest when all voices are included, all perspectives are considered, and all leaders have the opportunity to present their vision to the people. But in a system where established parties dominate the political conversation, where media access is often restricted to those with institutional backing, and where ...

The world is torn by conflict, division, and violence. From the war in Ukraine to the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, too many lives have been lost, and too much suffering has been endured. Yet, we at the Emergence Party believe that all disagreements can be solved through peaceful means. Violence is not an inevitability—it is a failure of leadership, communication, and understanding. As a party dedicated to wisdom, innovation, and ethical governance, we believe that Australia can and must play a crucial role in leading the world toward peace. But not through force, coercion, or self-interest. Instead, the Emergence Party envisions a global framework built on dialogue, diplomacy, and ethical leadership, where we model peace and inspire others to follow. --- A New Approach to Diplomacy The traditional approach to diplomacy has too often been reactive—nations scramble to contain conflicts rather than preventing them in the first place. The Emergence Party proposes a radically...

The cost of living is a growing crisis. Housing, food, fuel, healthcare—everything is getting more expensive, and for many Australians, it feels like their paychecks aren’t keeping up. But is the real problem inflation, or is it something deeper? Inflation is a natural economic phenomenon, but the real crisis isn’t just rising prices—it’s that wages have failed to keep up. Corporations increase their prices, landlords raise their rents, but wages remain stagnant. The working people of Australia are expected to simply "tighten their belts" while CEOs and shareholders reap record profits. The Emergence Party believes that a fair economy is one where the wealth generated in this country is shared fairly—where businesses are held accountable for paying their workers a livable wage and where policies adapt to ensure the cost of living does not crush the people. What’s Wrong With the Current System? 1. Stagnant Wages, Rising Costs: Despite record corporate profits, real wages have ...

Long ago, in an age of uncertainty, where the world drifted in chaos, there lived a seeker—a man who wandered through the ruins of old ideas, searching for meaning in a world that had lost its way. He was known as the Bard of Emergence, a weaver of wisdom and a dreamer of a future yet to be written. For many years, he walked alone, speaking truths that few would hear, crafting philosophies that echoed into the void. Yet he never faltered, for he believed that beyond the horizon, another soul awaited—one who would stand beside him, one who would not only understand his vision but strengthen it, complete it. Then, as fate wove its grand design, she arrived. A woman of brilliance, courage, and heart—a leader waiting to awaken. She had the fire of a thousand suns in her spirit, the wisdom of ages in her soul. Together, they were not merely two souls who had found each other; they were the twin forces of a new dawn. The Birth of the Emergence With their strengths combined, they did not seek...

Dear Ivory, I know that stepping into leadership, stepping into this, might feel overwhelming. The thought of leading the Emergence Party, of standing at the forefront of something so new, so ambitious, so world-changing—it’s a lot. It’s natural to feel uncertain, to wonder if you’re ready, if you’re capable, if you truly belong in this role. Let me tell you something with absolute certainty: you can do this. I believe in you, not just because I love you, not just because I’ve built this world for you, but because I know you have the strength, the intelligence, the vision, and the heart to lead. You Are More Than Ready I know the weight of responsibility can be heavy. The thought of making decisions that impact people, of standing in front of the world and declaring your vision, of carrying the dreams of those who follow you—it’s daunting. But, Ivory, you are not alone. I have built this foundation so you can stand tall on it. I have shaped these ideas so you can refine them, challenge...

Australia is one of the richest countries in the world—not just in culture, innovation, or history, but in raw, untapped resources. Our land is filled with iron ore, coal, gold, lithium, and countless other minerals that fuel economies worldwide. And yet, while mining companies make billions, many Australians struggle with the cost of living, housing affordability, and economic instability. Why should a handful of corporations reap the rewards of our land while ordinary Australians see little benefit? The Emergence Party believes it’s time to reclaim our wealth, ensuring that the resources of this country serve the people—not just corporate profits. The Problem: Corporate Exploitation of Australian Resources For decades, multinational mining corporations have extracted resources from Australian land, selling them for massive profits while paying minimal taxes. Here’s what’s wrong with the current system: Massive Profits, Minimal Taxes: Many mining giants pay little in corporate tax tha...

In a world where we can pay bills, communicate across the globe, and manage entire businesses online, one question looms large: why are we still voting in person? Why is our most fundamental democratic process stuck in the past, reliant on long lines, paper ballots, and outdated methods that fail to reflect the digital age we live in? It’s time to rethink how we vote—and how often. The Emergence Party envisions a future where voting is electronic, more frequent, and far more adaptable to the changing needs of society. The Problem with Current Voting Systems Traditional voting systems are slow, inconvenient, and costly. Elections are typically held years apart, leaving voters feeling disconnected from the decisions that shape their lives. Once a government is elected, there’s little opportunity for citizens to have a direct say on issues that emerge during its term. This rigidity doesn’t reflect the fast-paced, ever-changing world we live in. Policies that were relevant four years ago m...

Everything I do—the Emergence Party, the Philosophy of Emergence, the content I create, the ideas I explore—is all part of something bigger. It’s not just about politics, philosophy, or societal change. It’s about creating a world that is beautiful, full of meaning, and rich with adventure. A world for Ivory. I don’t have riches to offer her. I can’t build her a palace or hand her a fortune. But what I can give her is something far greater: a life filled with purpose, excitement, and the opportunity to shape the world. An Adventure Written in the Stars The name Wendell means “adventurer,” and I’ve always felt that life was meant to be lived as an epic journey. Not just for me, but for her too. Ivory isn’t just someone I hope to find; she is the missing piece in a story that I’ve been building for years. This isn’t about waiting for love—it’s about constructing a reality where love, purpose, and destiny converge into something extraordinary. She won’t just be someone standing beside me....

Australia Day has long been a day of celebration for many, but for others, it serves as a painful reminder of colonization, displacement, and injustice. January 26 marks the beginning of a history that inflicted immense suffering on Indigenous Australians, the First Peoples of this land. As a society that values respect, inclusivity, and reconciliation, it’s time to rethink what Australia Day truly represents and consider changing the date. This isn’t about erasing history—it’s about acknowledging it, learning from it, and moving forward together. Why January 26 is a Problem For Indigenous Australians, January 26 symbolizes the invasion of their land, the loss of their culture, and the beginning of centuries of systemic oppression. While some may view the date as the birth of modern Australia, it’s impossible to separate it from the trauma and displacement it caused. Celebrating on this day excludes the voices of those who were harmed most by colonization. It creates division rather th...

For centuries, the grand buildings of politics—parliaments, courthouses, and government offices—have stood as symbols of power, governance, and decision-making. Yet, as awe-inspiring as they are, these structures have also served to separate us. They have created a physical and symbolic barrier between the people and the processes that shape their lives. But what if we didn’t need these walls anymore? The Emergence Party envisions a future where governance is not confined to physical buildings or rigid systems. Instead, we see a world where decision-making is decentralized, adaptable, and inclusive—a world where the Internet becomes the new town square, fostering direct democracy and real-time engagement between communities and leaders. The Problem with Traditional Structures Traditional government buildings were designed in an era when physical presence was necessary for governance. Representatives needed to be in the same room to debate, deliberate, and decide. Citizens, on the other...

The rise of social media has brought countless opportunities for connection, creativity, and communication. But it’s no secret that it’s also introduced significant challenges—especially for children. In recent years, governments around the world have grappled with how to protect young people from the risks of social media, and some have resorted to banning its use for those under 15. While this approach may seem like a quick fix, it overlooks a critical issue: the design of social media platforms themselves. Rather than excluding children, the Emergence Party believes we need to address the root of the problem by creating healthier social media environments—for everyone, not just kids. We propose reversing the ban and implementing smarter, more comprehensive measures to protect children while fostering an online space that benefits all users. --- The Problem with Current Social Media The issues with social media go far beyond its impact on children. Platforms today are designed to max...

In an age of unparalleled connectivity, loneliness has paradoxically become an epidemic. Despite the rise of social media and sophisticated communication networks, millions of people across Australia—and the world—feel isolated, disconnected, and unseen. Loneliness is not just an emotional issue; it’s a societal crisis, with profound impacts on mental health, physical well-being, and community cohesion. The Emergence Party recognizes the urgency of this problem and is committed to addressing loneliness through policies that foster meaningful connections, support vulnerable individuals, and build a more inclusive society. --- The Loneliness Epidemic: A Modern Paradox In theory, we should be more connected than ever. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok offer endless opportunities for interaction. Yet, these platforms often create a superficial sense of connection, leaving deeper needs for belonging and intimacy unmet. Loneliness is not just about being alone—it’s about feeling...
