Jezd7

**jezd7** is an Australian politician who has led the DGP/DGSF to multiple consecutive election victories since September 2020, and is currently the leader of The People's Salvation Congress. He was previously the Prime Minister of Australia and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia throughout the first term of parliament, and was the Speaker of the House during the second half of his second term. During the November 2020 election, he was elected with the largest vote margin to date on 97.71%, but despite this, he has been the subject of many controversies and scandals throughout his career.

## Early political career

Jezd7 founded the "Draymond Green" Party (originally founded as the Australian Country Party for a few days) on the 23rd of August 2020, sitting as both its leader and president. Shortly after the party's registration, Jez registered the DGP to run in the September 2020 election, where he competed for the seat of LaTrobe against soon to be DGP member Jimmy Carr (who was a Labour Party member at the time) and won the seat gaining 64.02% of the primary vote.

Early into his political career, Jez built up a 'cult' of support across the nation, was being widely praised by mass media and delivering speeches to large crowds of avid supporters. His actions were widely described as populist, and he was also considered the most popular politician in Australia for a number of months.

## Prime Minister of Australia

Jez became Deputy Prime Minister of Australia to Syndicalist PM fivekoalasinatrenchcoat via a coalition on the 15th of September, however this was despite the DGP gaining more seats than the Syndicalist Party. A month later on October 26, Jez became the Prime Minister of Australia after fivekoalas fled the nation.

Jez proposed 2 bills in his first term of Parliament, however both were rejected due to Speaker interference and coalition members voting against the party lines. The *Removal of Constitutional Change Referendum Bill 2020*, a bill which would allow the parliament to change the constitution without a referendum (although this bill needed a referendum to pass it), made it to the Third Reading however it did not receive the majority of the vote as the PM fivekoalas voted against it because "the bill was taking too long to pass and it was annoying". The *Ban the Orthodox Bill 2020* which would essentially ban the Orthodox Christian faith, did not make it to the first reading as the Speaker Mike Nolan refused to allow the bill since it was 'unconstitutional' and 'against Australian values'.

### Stabbing

Jezd7 re-contested the seat of LaTrobe at the November 2020 election with little opposition, and primarily focused his campaign on attacking the ALP and newly formed Australian Reform Party, with little response from either party. However on November 13, the ESPN reported that Jez had been stabbed outside his home by a far-right activist. Jez was rushed to the Alfred Hospital where he was in a "stable condition", although he was reported to be in an anesthetized state and was expected to remain in hospital for the remainder of the campaign period.

Hours after he was rushed to hospital, reports came in from across the nation of protests being planned against far right extremism, sparked by the stabbing of Jez, with unofficial estimates that the nationwide turnout was around 2.6 million.

After the protests had dispersed and Jez had awoken from his anesthetized state, Jez delivered a speech praising the protesters.

### November Election disappointment

Despite Jezd7 winning his electorate of LaTrobe with a record 97.71% of the primary vote and his party winning 6 of their 10 contested seats, many people including Jez were outraged at preference deals made between the ALP and ARP that caused Jez's DGP to lose many seats. This disappointment was one of the reasons Jez claimed that he made the merger between the DGP and the Syndicalist party in the first place. Jez soon after presented a speech expressing his disappointment at the results which was ridiculed and mocked by many, including ALP leader albatrosss, ARP leader Jim's, and the King Russian Hacker. Jez and these individuals made numerous speeches attacking each other over a period of multiple days after the results were released.

On November 25, Jez along with anonymous individuals from the DGSF, broke into the ABC headquarters and destroyed 10 minutes worth of tapes, before Jez unexpectedly went missing and fled the nation. Jez returned to the nation later that night, and was widely criticized for his actions by the observantly bias conservative King, ARP and ALP leaders, and ABC panel however still held full support from his party

### Resignation of the Prime Ministership

Upon his return to the nation, and under high scrutiny for his recent actions, Jezd7 announced he would not continue as Prime Minister for the second term of Parliament, and that the office would go to party Deputy Leader Kim il-Sung. He said that he made this move due to the embarrassment he had brought upon himself and the party during the November Election Disappointment, however he did not resign from his seat as he felt that he still had a duty to represent his people who voted him in with an overwhelming majority.

On December 17, after days of the parliament trying to find a new speaker after the departure of Mike Nolan, Jez nominated himself after refusing the position multiple times over the previous days and he was elected with a unanimous vote.

In his second term of Parliament, Jez introduced three bills into parliament, two of which passed through the House. The *Community Youth Outreach Bill 2020* passed through the house with bipartisan support, however it was not signed by the Governor General Bromo. The *Anti Parliamentary Defection Bill 2020* which was a very high-profile bill at the time, passed through the house after much debate and opposition, and allowed the DGSF to hold onto their majority through the rest of the parliamentary term. The *Anti LGBTQ+ Discrimination Act 2020* was agreed on by the majority of the house bar the ARP and their leader Jim's, who claimed the bill infringed on "traditional Australian values". Jez was angered by Jim's "horrendous", "offensive", and "ignorant" comments, and took to SBS to defame Jim and his actions, but in the end the bill never went to the second reading as the house ceased to sit.

### Retirement from politics

Throughout late January, the DGSF was on the brink of collapse after Kim Jong-il had been removed from the party, and also due to the constant defamation of the party and its members, in particular Jez himself. On January 27 2021, Jezd7 announced his retirement from politics and only hours later fled the nation for reasons still unknown. His seat and positions were still registered to his name until February 5 when the DGSF was officially de-registered.

## Re-emergence into politics

After months abroad in an unknown location, Jez returned to Australia on April 18 2021 and re-registered the DGP under a new name; months after the party had been last registered.
After again falling off the map as the parliament went inactive, he returned in November 2021 to rename his party the People's Salvation Congress, and then again ahead of the June 2022 election.

He then won the seat of Casey in the June 2022 election over NPCs from the ALP and Australian Libertarians, and was declared Prime Minister in a vote of confidence which he won unanimously with votes from both the PSC and opposition parties.

After resigning and triggering the 1st of August byelections, he created the Social Justice Front and entered into coalition with the People's Salvation Congress, in order to both pursue his own personal ideological beliefs independent of the larger party, give Jimmy Carr more autonomy (who had been deputy leader of the party and deputy PM for a large part of the parliament's history), and also to take advantage of the voting system by using 2 parties in each electorate to earn votes and then direct the preferences to eachother. He then ran again in the October election and regained his seat of Casey, before the 2 parties merged back and he regained the position of Prime Minister.
