{{altrightnav|1}}
'''Drew Pavlou''' {{lived|1999}} is a [[Turkish]]-[[Australian]] [[far-right]] grifter. He gained notoriety in 2020 for protesting against the influence of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) in the University of Queensland, for which he was temporarily suspended.<ref name="smh"/> While initially holding liberal beliefs, Pavlou found that he was able to earn more as a grifter by pivoting to the far-right. In 2025, he became a far-right activist and promotes anti-immigration, [[racism]], [[Trumpism]], the "[[Great Replacement]]" [[conspiracy theory]], [[white supremacy]], and [[ultranationalism]]. He is notoriously active on [[Twitter]] (with 217K followers as of January 2026),<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou |title=Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 (@DrewPavlou) |website=Twitter |access-date=January 9, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/y25df |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}.</ref> posting multiple times a day.

== Biography ==
Pavlou was born in 1999 in Australia. His parents are of mixed Turkish and Cypriot descent. Pavlou's grandparents were immigrants who moved from Cyprus to Australia in the 1960s,<ref name="hornet">{{Cite web |url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine/how-drew-pavlous-university-of-queensland-protest-enraged-china-and-started-a-free-speech-battle/news-story/82f5fd86413844c724e64322b11abb69 |title=The boy who kicked the hornet's nest |website=The Australian |last=Condon |first=Matthew |date=May 30, 2020 |access-date=September 16, 2025 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/0vbn4 |archive-date=June 1, 2020}}</ref> [[Irony|which makes him a third-generation immigrant]]. His family moved to Brisbane when he was two years old, and have lived there since.

Pavlou graduated from high school circa 2016, and began a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at the {{wpl|University of Queensland}} (UQ), in February 2017. Despite a BA usually only taking 3 years, Pavlou took 9 long years to complete his degree, graduating in December 2025. He was briefly suspended from university in 2020 (main section: [[#Suspension from UQ|Suspension from UQ]]), but note he was already on his fourth year of a 3-year degree at the time. He then spent the next five years crashing out on Twitter and at the same time completing his degree.

Currently he is unemployed, earning most of his revenue from being chronically online on Twitter.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1944562911743291572 |title=My Twitter ad revenue alone is almost a full time wage now :) |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=July 14, 2025 |access-date=January 16, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/mlos5 |archive-date=January 17, 2026}}</ref> Pavlou has previously received donations from far-right activist Simon Fenwick, who himself has donated to the far-right lobby group {{wpl|Advance Australia||.}}<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-10/no-voice-campaign-donor-simon-fenwick-indigenous-ventures-730/102955688 |title=Major No donor looking to defeat the Voice is an investor in Indigenous land ventures |website=ABC News |last=Begley |first=Patrick |date=October 10, 2023 |access-date=January 16, 2026 |quote=Mr Fenwick has contributed $365,000 to the Liberal Party, $75,000 to the Liberal Democrats and $25,000 to the anti-Chinese Communist Party activist Drew Pavlou.}}</ref> It is unknown if Fenwick is still Pavlou's donor.

== Why he sucks (views) ==
Initially, Pavlou had relatively liberal political views.<ref name="smh">{{Cite web |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/activist-or-attention-hog-drew-has-an-obsession-his-dad-wishes-he-d-drop-it-20230602-p5ddhu.html |title=Activist or attention hog?

It is difficult to determine the beliefs Pavlou holds since he constantly contradicts himself on Twitter, and will change his views at the drop of the hat depending on if someone praises him, gives him attention, or criticises him.

=== Anti-immigration and xenophobia ===
Despite being descended from Cypriot immigrants, Pavlou wants to reduce immigration "by 90%".<ref name="debate" />{{rp|9:00}}
One of the reasons for this change is he believes the false far-right "[[great replacement]]" conspiracy theory, or a variation of it, arguing that European Australians will be 'demographically displaced' and "become a minority within 20 years".<ref name="bec">{{Cite web |url=https://archive.ph/X6fEd |title=March for Australia organiser Bec Freedom says that I'm not white enough for her Aryan purity standards/ European Australians are on track to be a minority within 20 years and these 15 IQ level retards are busy debating whether Greeks are white/ Actually spastic |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |website=Twitter |date=October 22, 2025 |access-date=November 15, 2025}}</ref> Pavlou has also said he wants to "keep [Australia] demographically European".<ref name="debate" />{{rp|9:17}}

Pavlou also has extreme views on deportation, supporting "mass deportations" of non-white immigrants. In a debate with British leftist LonerBox, Pavlou stated he believes that countries "don't have to" take in asylum seekers, and thinks that there should be a law that the United Kingdom should only accept asylum seekers from neighbouring countries.<ref name="lonerbox">{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKDTJ5jVSn8 |title=The HEATED Debate That BROKE Drew Pavlou: Lonerbox vs Drew Pavlou
 |website=YouTube |author=LonerBox Live |date=October 24, 2025 |access-date=January 16, 2026}}</ref>{{rp|2:40:18}} In the debate, he also declared support for deporting both first- and second-generation immigrants who "support" (or express any kind of sympathy for) suicide bombings in opinion polls, even though this violates international law:<ref name="lonerbox" />{{rp|2:20:45}}
{{Quotebox|
'''Pavlou:''' Of course they [immigrants] should be deported, if they want to go out and [[Slippery slope|stab people in the street]] of course they should be deported.

'''LonerBox:''' I guess this also includes deporting second-generation migrants to places that— countries they've never been to...?

'''Pavlou:''' 100%. 100%. 100%.

'''LonerBox:''' Yeah and—

'''Pavlou:''' [interjects] I don't care if you're a second generation migrant. If you believe in [[Fearmongering|killing Jews in the streets of Britain]] you need to go.}}
...even though this would make them stateless and violate international law. When LonerBox asked Pavlou how he would force foreign countries to accept deported British second generation migrants, Pavlou simply said "drop them off".<ref name="lonerbox" />{{rp|2:21:02}} Pavlou is in denial about his far-right views, enough so that he asserted deporting second-generation immigrants is "the moderate solution".<ref name="lonerbox" />{{rp|2:23:43}}

Pavlou expressed support for the far-right anti-immigration "{{wpl|March for Australia}}" rallies in August and October 2025. Ironically, Bec Freedom, one of the organisers of the rally, said that Drew Pavlou "doesn't look white", indicating he is part of the target group of the March for Australia protests. Pavlou later ranted about this on Twitter.<ref name="bec" />

=== Ableism ===
Pavlou frequently calls people and ideas he disagrees with "r*tarded" and "mentally ill". He will also call people "suicidal" for having beliefs or views which he perceives as "anti-Western" or self-destructive (i.e. anything he doesn't like).

=== Transphobia ===
When he initially dropped the liberal facade and embraced being far-right in mid-2025, Pavlou was not outright hostile to trans people at first. This changed when a trans person made a tweet critical of the Trump administration for intervening in Venezuela on January 3, 2026. Pavlou responded to the person on Twitter with a transphobic insult:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2007399395038507291 |title=You will never be a woman @CantEverDie |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=January 3, 2026 |access-date=January 3, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/EqIFb |archive-date=January 4, 2026 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
{{Quotebox|You will never be a woman @CantEverDie}}
However, being the coward he is, he deleted said tweet the next day and probably wants you to forget he ever said it.<ref group="note">Fortunately [https://archive.ph/EqIFb the internet is forever].</ref>

=== Racism ===
{{cquote|Fuck the Global South|||Pavlou openly displaying his chauvinistic contempt of the non-Western world<ref name="south" />}}
Pavlou is extremely racist towards anyone who is Chinese or from the Third World/Global South.<ref name="south">{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1964320848929837493 |title=Fuck the Global South |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |website=Twitter |date=September 6, 2025 |access-date=January 9, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/AWJ2F |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref> Essentially, anyone who isn't from the West or European is inferior in his mind.

Like many on the far-right, he is a Western supremacist and ethno-nationalist/white supremacist, believing that only European (i.e. white) people should be allowed to immigrate to Australia to keep the country "demographically European";<ref name="debate" />{{rp|9:17}} essentially the {{wpl|White Australia policy}}. However, Pavlou refuses to admit he supports it. Being Turkish, he justifies his support for the White Australia policy by claiming that "Levantines" and Turks were allowed in Australia during the White Australia era.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://x.com/DrewPavlou/status/1996152621858738629 |title=Australia actually allowed some Levantine during the White Australia Policy era.

==== Anti-Chinese ====

Pavlou's claim to fame is protesting against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while claiming to not hate Chinese people as an ethnic group. However, he has in many cases harassed Chinese nationals and displayed racist rhetoric against Chinese people.<ref name="ohpi">{{Cite web |url=https://ohpi.org.au/academic-freedom-criticism-of-china-and-racism/ |title=Academic Freedom, Criticism of China and Racism |website=Online Hate Prevention Institute |last=Roche |first=Gerald |date=May 29, 2020 |access-date=January 10, 2026 |quote=A more extreme real world example is that after anti-Asian racism began surging in Australia, Pavlou turned up at the Confucius Institute wearing a biohazard suit.

* He Tweeted in January 2020 that he and his friends were "looking forward" to giving a "mental breakdown" to the instructor of UQ's Confucius Institute.<ref name="ohpi" />
** When confronted over this Tweet, Pavlou backtracked and claimed it was merely a joke, and began harassing anyone who called him out.<ref name="ohpi" />
* In March 2020, he made a tasteless and racist 'joke' about locking down the Confucius Institute for being a "biohazard",<ref name="biohazard" /> implying Chinese people were linked to the COVID-19 virus.<ref name="ohpi" /> Keep in mind this was during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was ostensibly "liberal."
* On August 1, 2025, he made a video in the Melbourne CBD showing multiple Chinese-language shops and claimed they "exclude English speakers."<ref name="naarm" /> (main section: [[#Melbourne CBD video|Melbourne CBD video]])
* On August 6, 2025, when a Chinese-Australian person criticised Pavlou for not having any savings to pay off his fine for [[#2022 Brisbane protest & subsequent charges|unauthorised political advertising]], Pavlou responded "get out of my fucking country,"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1952901663762858049 |title=Get out of my fucking country @Jake_Wukong |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=August 6, 2025 |access-date=January 16, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/YswfZ |archive-date=January 17, 2026}}</ref> claimed he was "not Australian"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1952905327537733880 |title=You're not Australian.

==== Anti-Muslim ====
He is also extremely anti-Muslim and Islamophobic. He frequently refers to Muslims as "inbred jihadists" on Twitter.

Since the {{wpl|October 7 attacks}}, Pavlou has increasingly become more radical in his support for [[Israel]] and opposition to [[Palestine]], despite claiming to support a two-state solution.{{cn}}

After the {{wpl|2025 Bondi Beach shooting}}, Pavlou falsely claimed that Muslims in {{wpl|Sydney}} had set off fireworks to celebrate the shooting.<ref name="firework">{{Cite web |url=https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/the-five-fake-bondi-attack-stories-spread-by-ai-and-social-media-20251215-p5nnpz |title=The 5 fake Bondi attack stories spread by AI and social media |website={{wpl|Australian Financial Review}} |last1=Buckingham-Jones |first1=Sam |last2=McGuire |first2=Amelia |date=December 15, 2025 |access-date=January 9, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/0ZCJq |archive-date=December 15, 2025 |quote=Videos of fireworks in western Sydney circulated across X, Facebook and Reddit in the aftermath of the attack, including by right-wing content creator Drew Pavlou in a now-deleted post captioned "reports that Islamists set off celebratory fireworks in Bankstown, Western Sydney". There were fireworks in western Sydney last night, but they had nothing to do with the horrors at Bondi. Instead, they were to celebrate Padstow’s annual Carols by Candlelight event which happened to be scheduled at the same time.}}</ref> In reality, the fireworks were part of a Christmas event which had been planned ''months'' before the shooting occurred, and had no relation whatsoever to the shooting.<ref name="afp">{{Cite web |url=https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.886C8ZR |title=Christmas fireworks mischaracterised as 'Islamists' celebrating Bondi Beach shooting |website=Fact Check AFP |last=Chen |first=Dene-Hernf |date=December 16, 2025 |access-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref> After learning that he had spread false information, Pavlou didn't apologise but doubled down and blamed the people who used the fireworks for giving the wrong impression.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2000321582489821510 |title=Islamic extremists in Western Sydney set off fireworks from moving cars to celebrate October 7 back in 2023.

=== Pro-imperialism ===
Being a Western supremacist, Pavlou is also a supporter of neoconservatives, war hawks, and imperialists such as [[Dick Cheney]]. When Cheney died in November 2025, Pavlou made multiple posts downplaying Cheney's culpability in the botched and illegal [[Iraq War|invasion of Iraq]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1985672229942935696 |title=Rest in peace Dick Cheney.

In other words, supporting a war criminal to own the libs:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1985676667130692031 |title=Was the Iraq War a catastrophe?

=== Anti-communism ===
Think of [[Joseph McCarthy]] being reincarnated as an Australian grifter with no job or prospects for the future, and you have Drew Pavlou. While communism is certainly a flawed ideology, Pavlou takes anti-communist sentiment to the extreme, referring to any left-leaning person he disagrees with as a "mentally ill communist".

He is also a fan of pretty much every anti-communist dictator of the 20th century, including the likes of [[Suharto]], [[Chiang Kai-shek]], [[Ferdinand Marcos]], [[Syngman Rhee]]. Conveniently forgetting the fact that these people were corrupt authoritarians who murdered thousands of their own citizens.<ref name="dictators">{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1987117453818929464 |title=RIP Graham Richardson.

=== Disinformation ===
Pavlou is also notorious for spreading disinformation on Twitter, reflecting his bigotry towards certain groups. Here are some of the outright false claims he has made:
* He claimed that Muslims in Sydney launched fireworks to celebrate the mass shooting at Bondi Beach in December 2025.<ref name="firework" /> The fireworks were part of a Christmas event planned ''months'' in advance with no relation to the shooting.<ref name="afp" />
* When 
Gestapo
 ICE agent Jonathan Ross {{wpl|Killing of Renee Good|shot and murdered Renee Good}} on January 7, 2026, Pavlou repeated the false claim that Good had tried to run over Ross with her car.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2009412652704125222 |title=Yes I think she created the deadly situation
 |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=January 8, 2026 |access-date=January 17, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/bRWvF |archive-date=January 17, 2026}}</ref> However, the video of her murder clearly showed Good trying to drive ''away'' from Ross.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/01/08/video-ice-shooting-minneapolis/ |title=ICE agent was not in the vehicle's path when he fired the fatal shots, video shows |website=The Washington Post |last1=Davis |first1=Aaron C. |last2=Baran |first2=Jonathan |date=January 8, 2026 |access-date=January 17, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/20260108143925/https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/01/08/video-ice-shooting-minneapolis/ |archive-date=January 8, 2026 }}</ref> It is likely that Pavlou supported this false narrative due to the MAGA crowd being pro-ICE and pro-murderer.
* In an attempt to appeal to the far-right, Pavlou pretended he was being censored by the Australian government for holding up a blank sign at a protest in May 2022. In reality Pavlou was fined for showing a sign that read "Nothing happened on June 4, 1989, change my mind" and another sign promoting his [[#Political party|failed political party]], without acquiring a permit for public political advertising.<ref name="aap" /> Later, he touted the "blank sign" lie to get donations from gullible Twitter users to pay off the justified fine he received. (Main section: [[#2022 Brisbane protest & subsequent charges|2022 Brisbane protest]])
* [[Red Scare]] [[red-baiting|rhetoric]] is part of Pavlou's identity at this point. For example he claims that {{wpl|Zohran Mamdani}}, mayor of New York, is a radical communist and anti-white. However, Mamdani is a democratic socialist and is opposed to racial discrimination.

=== Political support ===
==== Australia ====
Before 2023, he previously supported the [[Australian Greens]] and {{wpl|Katter's Australian Party}} at various points in time. Pavlou voted for the [[Australian Labor Party]] in the {{wpl|2024 Queensland state election}}.<ref name="smh" />

On August 23, 2025, Pavlou declared his support for far-right politician {{wpl|Andrew Hastie}},<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DNsoyNt5BQ-/ |title=Andrew Hastie for PM. He will save Australia. |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |website=[[Instagram]] |date=August 23, 2025 |access-date=September 21, 2025}}</ref> a member of the [[Liberal Party of Australia]]. The reason? Not due to Hastie's anti-China and anti-climate change policies (though Pavlou likely agrees with them), but after seeing Hastie recite St Crispin's Day Speech from {{wpl|Henry V (play)}} from heart, asserting it shows a "profound love of Western history and civilisation".
The same day, Pavlou described his "current political views" as "[[Winston Churchill|Churchill]], {{wpl|Charles de Gaulle|De Gaulle}}, [[Lee Kuan Yew]], Andrew Hastie,"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://x.com/DrewPavlou/status/1959241146963808602 |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |title=My current political views: Churchill, De Gaulle, Lee Kuan Yew, Andrew Hastie. |website=Twitter |date=August 23, 2025 |access-date=January 10, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/sY7SU |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref> despite these four figures all having radically opposed and somewhat incompatible political views (such as the famously democratic LKY).

The reason he supports Lee? is because his wallet was stolen and the Australian justice system was apparently too soft for not giving the death penalty for the thief.<ref name="wallet">{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1943300747501932770 |title="Had my wallet stolen so I'm changing my Twitter profile pic and cover photo to Lee Kuan Yew for 24 hours to protest the criminal justice system's failure to just simply kill criminals" |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=July 10, 2025 |access-date=September 21, 2025 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/olvu3 |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref>

==== United States ====
Despite being an Australian citizen, Pavlou loves to comment on American politics; obnoxiously attacking anyone who disagrees with him. He has openly declared his support for the authoritarian fascistic Trump regime as of 2026.

In 2015-2016, Pavlou was a supporter of [[Bernie Sanders]].<ref name="hornet" /> During the 2024 US presidential election, he supported Kamala Harris' campaign, back when he was somewhat liberal. Since he became a reactionary in 2025, he began to praise the corrupt Trump administration. When Vice

 President JD Vance retweeted one of Pavlou's tweets, Pavlou suddenly started supporting Vance,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1976661386559455422 |title=Mr Vance could I get an 01B Extraordinary Talent visa for posting |website=Twitter |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=October 10, 2025 |access-date=January 9, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/rBYkL |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref> reflecting the reality that Pavlou will praise anyone who gives him the slightest amount of attention and change his political views at the drop of a hat. However, he did not outright say that he supported Trump yet.

On January 3, 2026, after the U.S. invaded Venezuela and desposed of the dictator Nicolas Maduro under the orders of Trump, Pavlou called Trump a "hero of Western civilization [sic]".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2007384119140094102 |title=God bless Donald Trump./ Absolute hero of Western civilization. |website=Twitter |date=January 3, 2026 |access-date=January 3, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/ugY1L |archive-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref><ref group="note">Notice how in this quote he used the {{wpl|American English}} spelling "civilization", whereas in {{wpl|Australian English}} it is spelled as "civilisation".

Despite Trump's lack of moral character, Pavlou supports him because some communists were mean to him on Twitter:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2009133786055987443 |title=I do not agree with Trump on every single thing but at the end of the day I prefer Trump to literal communists who tell me every single day on this website that they want to murder me and my family and will do so if they ever obtain power.

Pavlou was also extremely opposed to the candidacy of {{wpl|Zohran Mamdani}} for mayor of New York in 2025. When Mamdani won the election, Pavlou whined a lot on Twitter. He also has made strange, sexual and misogynistic comments about Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji (see [[#Quotes|quotes section]]).

==== Elsewhere ====
Pavlou supports [[Mohammad bin Salman]], the authoritarian dictator of [[Saudi Arabia]], because he is [[not as bad as]] the {{wpl|Islamic religious police}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1834956353976385715 |title=Have to be honest - I've started to appreciate MBS much more since I realised that the main political opposition to MBS in Saudi society is not liberal but basically Sayyid Qutb ISIS types.

== Relative normalcy ==
{{Main|Stopped clock}}
Pavlou has some reasonable positions, but most of them are simply due to his reactionary nature. He opposes anyone who insults him or his ego. For example:
* He supports [[Ukraine]] in the Russia-Ukraine war (although this may simply be because he is a pro-Western and therefore pro-US war hawk)
* His opposition to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is understandable due to their repression of ethnic minorities and dissidents, however he takes it to the extreme and uses anti-CCP sentiment as a crutch for his unproductive actions. This also motivates his racism against everyday Chinese people.
* He opposes [[Nick Fuentes]] and the "groyper" movement (like any normal person).

== (Sl)ac(k)tivism ==
Pavlou is most well known for his outspoken criticism against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and its repression of the Uigurs, Hong Kongers, and other ethnic minorities in China. He supports sanctioning the People's Republic of China, and nationally recognizing [[Taiwan]] as the sole China instead.<ref name="smh" /> Despite claiming to not be racist, many times he has targeted and harassed Chinese nationals and expressed extremely racist rhetoric towards Chinese people in general.

=== 2019 UQ protest ===
In July 2019, Pavlou held a protest at the {{wpl|University of Queensland}} (UQ), protesting against the perceived influence of the CCP and Chinese government in the university.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-12-21/student-australia-china-xi-jinping-uighurs-muslims |title=An Australian student denounced his university’s ties to China.

=== 2022 London protest & bomb threat ===
On 22 July 2022, Pavlou held a protest outside of the {{wpl|Embassy of China, London|Chinese embassy in London}}, protesting against China's human rights abuses perpetrated against Tibetans, Uigurs, and other ethnic minorities. He made a bomb threat via email against the Chinese embassy and was subsequently arrested. Pavlou was detained for 48 hours, but denied sending the email, claiming it was a Chinese plot to suppress him.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/23/australian-activist-drew-pavlou-arrested-in-london-but-denies-sending-chinese-embassy-bomb-threat |title=Australian activist Drew Pavlou arrested in London but denies sending Chinese embassy bomb threat |last=Doherty |first=Ben |website=The Guardian |date=23 July 2022 |access-date=November 15, 2025}}</ref>

=== 2022 Brisbane protest & subsequent charges ===
In May 2022, Pavlou held another protest against the Chinese consulate in Brisbane. During this protest, Pavlou held a sign reading "Nothing happened on [[Tiananmen Square Massacre|June 4, 1989]], change my mind."<ref name="aap">{{Cite web |url=https://aapnews.aap.com.au/news/activist-appeals-fine-over-tiananmen-protest-posters |title=Activist appeals fine over Tiananmen protest posters |website=Australian Associated Press |last=Goodenough |first=Cheryl |date=April 5, 2024 |access-date=January 1, 2026 |quote=An activist is appealing a fine for illegal political advertising by displaying placards about the Tiananmen Square massacre.}}</ref> He also brought another sign which advertised his failed political party, the [[#Political party|Drew Pavlou Democratic Alliance]].<ref name="abc sign">{{Cite web |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-12/drew-pavlou-court-challenge-brisbane-council-find-chinese-meme/102847046 |title=Drew Pavlou challenges Brisbane City Council over anti Chinese Communist Party meme |website=ABC News |last=Sato |first=Kenji |date=September 12, 2023 |access-date=January 3, 2026 |quote=The court heard he had been holding up a handwritten sign with the message, 'Nothing happened on June 4 1989, change my mind' outside the Chinese Consulate on Adelaide Street.

Instead of paying the $1000 fee, which was "just not fair" according to Pavlou, he appealed the fee in the Brisbane Magistrates Court: not once, but twice. He first appealed in October 2023, claiming the "right to free speech". The two fines were upheld, and he additionally he pay legal fees for the Brisbane City Council, bringing the fee up to $3,113.50. In May 2024, Pavlou appealed again for the second time, but was once again rejected: the fees were increased to $10,000.<ref name="abc" />

Despite this, in an attempt to garner sympathy from misinformed users and freedom-loving™ conservatives, Pavlou spread disinformation about his own activity on Twitter by claiming he was "arrested for holding a blank sign". Pavlou had not applied for the permit to hold a political event in the Council. His sign was also deemed "political advertising" which he had not received the proper permit for and was "easily obtainable", according to the judge who ruled over Pavlou's trial.<ref name="abc" />

On July 27, 2025, Pavlou announced he would willingly surrender to the Australian court and go to prison due to his inability to pay the now $23,000 fine:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1949284478817313098 |title=BREAKING: I am surrendering to the Australian courts and will serve prison time for the crime of holding a blank sign outside the Chinese Consulate... |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |website=Twitter |date=July 27, 2025 |access-date=September 21, 2025 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/w2ATB |archive-date=January 17, 2026}}</ref>
{{Quotebox|BREAKING: I am surrendering to the Australian courts and will serve prison time for the crime of [[Lying by omission|holding a blank sign]] outside the Chinese Consulate. 

The Brisbane City Council threatened to have me imprisoned for contempt of court charges because I don’t have the money to pay a $23,000 fine for [[Lying by omission|holding a blank sign]] outside the Chinese Consulate.

Rather than raise money to pay the fine, I have decided to accept imprisonment as a matter of principle. I regard the fine as so outrageously unjust that I simply cannot in good conscience comply with the court order.

I have written to authorities to inform them that I will peacefully surrender and accept arrest and imprisonment for contempt of court on August 6th rather than pay the $23,000 fine [[Lying by omission|for holding a blank sign]] outside the Chinese Consulate.

They can [[Persecution complex|make me a political prisoner in Australia]], if this is what they want.

I will comply fully with authorities and the court throughout this entire process as [[Appeal to emotion|I am a law abiding, God fearing]] Australian citizen. [[Bullshit|I am a peaceful law abiding man peacefully practicing civil disobedience and non-compliance according to my conscience]].

On August 6, Pavlou said that the courts had rejected his offer.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/1952895456398528536 |title=LEGAL UPDATE: No jail time at this point.

On December 27, he started a GoFundMe to pay off the fine. Being the grifter that he is, Pavlou tried to appeal to possible donors by saying that he held up a blank sign, and trying to act as if he is being politically censored.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://xcancel.com/DrewPavlou/status/2005006962837307660 |title=Dear friends, I unfortunately need to ask for help and support this Christmas season... | last=Pavlou |first=Drew |website=Twitter |date=December 27, 2025 |access-date=January 1, 2026 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/8hGed |archive-date=January 17, 2026}}</ref> As mentioned, Pavlou had a sign that said "Nothing happened on June 4, 1989, change my mind",<ref name="aap /> and another sign advertising his failed political party, which constitutes political advertising without a permit.<ref name="abc sign" /> Evidently enough people believed Pavlou's grift as the fundraiser reached $26K.

=== Melbourne CBD video ===
On August 1, 2025, Pavlou published a video where he visited Melbourne, Australia (satirically titled "NAARM-CORE").<ref group="note">The area of and around Melbourne is known as "Naarm" in local Indigenous Australian languages</ref> In the video, he walked around the Melbourne central business district (CBD) and counted the number of Chinese-language real estate firms and bubble tea shops, describing the mere existence of a couple of Chinese-language shops as the "{{wpl|Yookay|yookayification}}" of Australia. He also claimed that the establishments "[[Persecution complex|exclude English speakers]]". What Pavlou failed to mention (or may simply have been ignorant of), was the area his video was filmed in was a historic Chinese ethnic enclave (Chinatown) with a large Chinese community. Moreover, many of the bubble tea establishments in the video were Taiwanese brands, which is ironic as Pavlou claims to be a supporter of the Taiwanese people.<ref name="naarm">{{Cite web |url=https://youtu.be/9EVRwo8c1Y0 |title=NAARM CORE: Visiting Australia’s Most Left-Wing City |website=YouTube |last=Pavlou |first=Drew |date=August 1, 2025 |access-date=September 21, 2025}}</ref>

A director of one of the Chinese firms featured in Pavlou's video refuted his false claim, saying "While many of our team members are multilingual and we occasionally use Chinese language materials to assist clients who prefer it, we also regularly produce and distribute all our marketing materials — including flyers and brochures — in English."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/english-speakers-excluded-chinese-agents-hit-back-at-divisive-real-estate-video/news-story/ebaa9022b1239cb4d37bff55a67da239 |title='English speakers excluded': Chinese agents hit back at divisive real estate video |last=Smith |first=Rohan |website=News.com.au |date=August 9, 2025 |access-date=September 21, 2025}}</ref> But he's not racist, [[Friend argument|he has Chinese friends]].<ref name="smh" />

=== 2026 Sydney counter-protest ===
On January 4, 2026, Pavlou held a counter-protest at an anti-interventionist rally in Sydney opposing the United States invasion of Venezuela and deposition (regime change) of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. He held up signs reading "cry more commie scum" and walked through the anti-interventionist crowd yelling "f**k Maduro" and "f**k communism." After a few minutes, the police arrested Pavlou; he chanted pro-American slogans as he was being led away. Pavlou claimed that the police almost broke his arm and arrested him without cause, as they released him from jail after 40 minutes. The latter claim is dubious, since laws restricting protests were enacted in Sydney after the December 2025 Bondi shooting, so Pavlou was potentially violating those laws by protesting.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://theasialive.com/three-arrested-at-sydney-protest-defying-ban-as-anger-mounts-over-us-intervention-in-venezuela/2026/01/05/ |title=Three Arrested at Sydney Protest Defying Ban as Anger Mounts Over US Intervention in Venezuela |website=The Asia Live |date=January 5, 2026 |access-date=January 9, 2026}}</ref>

On the bright side, we now have [https://archive.ph/B8uwP this hilarious photo] of Pavlou whining as he is being led away by the police.
