National Free Media Summit 2.0 - Katie Ashby-Koppens

Katie Ashby-Koppens

Katie has been a civil litigator for over 20 years, first in New Zealand and then in Australia. She is Head of Legal for Voices For Freedom New Zealand, a grassroots organisation that assisted thousands of people who were mandated out of work and suffering other human rights violations. Katie was legal case manager on the Childrens’ case in New Zealand and supported the AVN and Babies’ Cases in Australia upon joining PJ O’Brien & Associates.

She is the lead solicitor for the GMO case against Pfizer and Moderna in Australia and has been actively engaging US, New Zealand and Australian governments to inform them on the UN and WHO Pandemic Treaties and striving for inquiries into governments’ public health response.

In February 2024 Katie with three others founded the Aligned Council of Australia - https://alignedcouncilofaustralia.com.au/ which has grown to 38 groups with over 1.8 million members. Their recent action week bringing attention to the World Health Organization pandemic treaty reforms was instrumental in the 14 MP and Senators’ letters that called on Prime Minister Albanese to reject the Pandemic Treaties at the recent World Health Assembly being held in Geneva. Katie’s focus is to ensure that the injustices and breaches of the fundamental legal principles that have occurred over the last four years not be allowed to occur again.
