Post updated December 22 2015:
After a very quick search it has been established that the owner of the “Bernie Smith” account is Ollie Dutchie, the partner of Giselle Kara Vles, both of Brighton, Victoria.
Their real names are Olivier Vles and Giselle Vles, as seen in this submission to the Victorian No Jab No Play submission. This is the Facebook page for their clothing business.
Publicly available images courtesy of Facebook:
Olivier Vles (Dutchie) also added the Bernie Smith account to the Unvaccinated Australia Facebook group, where it is an admin, along with Giselle Kara Vles:
All posts and comments from The Unreasonable Wank Facebook page – which was created by Olivier and Giselle Kara Vles – are now available here, in text format:

Original post:
Right now – at this very minute – Melbourne anti-vaccine activists are having a picnic day in Brunswick, in Melbourne. Most of you would already know that Brunswick North West Primary School is now world famous for having low immunisation rates and high chicken pox rates: 80 students struck down with chickenpox in Brunswick school outbreak. Both of these events are happening right now, in one area of Melbourne.
So, I’d like to contribute to these very same Melbourne anti-vaccine activists – the admins and members of Unvaccinated Australia (UA), who featured in another shocking story only yesterday, about the baby of an anti-vaccine activist being hopitalised with whooping cough – by celebrating with them their creation of a new Facebook page they made in my honour, only a week ago: The Unreasonable Wank.
First I’ll give a special mention to the admins of the UA Facebook group who created or champion the creation of The Unreasonable Wank (TUW):
- Trent Wiseman
- Brett Smith (naturopath AKA Lucas Jackson Kelly)
- Pavel Kalinov (PhD)
- Brittany Smith
- Giselle Kara Vles
- Bernie Smith (fake profile – edit December 22 2015: belongs to Ollie Dutchie)
- Jonathan Smith (fake profile)
The Unreasonable Wank first popped up a week ago with posts in UA and another anti-vaccine group, Anti-Vaccination Australia (which is administered by Belgin Sila Colak). The brand new profile, UA admin Bernie Smith, is the page creator:
And:
Checking out the TUW page itself is…it’s a work of art…which…it brings a tear to the eye.
The cover photo is a headstone…because they want me dead?
[Edit: it has just been pointed out to me by Karen on Twitter that this headstone is not a photo-shopped image, as I originally thought. It is a real headstone. The husband passed away in 2005. The wife passed away in 2015. Their relatives and descendants are still very much alive. This makes the actions of the Unvaccinated Australia admins even more disturbing. I have pixelated the updated image, above]
The profile photo is a masturbating hand…because pr0n:
This one tells me I am a “wank stain”…because misfire:
And the TUW’s about section notes:
Making fun of the unreasonable wank that calls himself Reasonable Hank.
The contributors to the TUW page have excelled.
Joanne Howard is a registered nurse and midwife who featured in an earlier post, and who will feature again:
To you Mr Wank!
Brett Smith is the resident anti-vaccination stand-over man who shatters all the myths about love and light:
Special shoutout to our good mate Reasonable Hank who has just found out there is a measles epidemic starting in Sydney right now!!! Good Lord mate our prayers are with you. I hope you’re ok mate? Quickly get yourself another booster shot. Run to the Hills, run for your Life!!!
This is the village idiot and favoured troll of Meryl Dorey and her anti-vaccine cabal, the Australia Vaccination-skeptics Network:
This is also Reasonable Hank.
And this is the courageous, anonymous UA admin, and creator of TUW:
Reasonable Hank??? Get your babies ready!!!
It would appear that all of the people listed above were galvanised into their emotional regression by another post which appeared in the UA group, written by deregistered enrolled nurse, alternative health crackpot and demonstrable liar, Louisa Kenzig, who has featured in this blog before for her rancid vilification of bereaved parents.
On December 3 2015, Kenzig made the following false and defamatory post – about a vexatious and false complaint she made against a doctor – and the anti-vaccination activists piled on over the next two days. I have removed the names of my two friends, as well as my real name, because the anti-vaccination activists make false allegations of paedophilia against one of my friends. The dementing, delusional Louisa Kenzig believes I am all of the people in her post.
So, Unvaccinated Australia admins and members, who are meeting up for a Christmas picnic in Brunswick right now, enjoy your day!

Anyone else on the receiving end of Reasonable Hank/[Me]/[Dr friend]? After the 4th known complaint about ‘[Dr friend]” behaviour, this is the latest response from AHPRA – bear in mind he called me a baby killer and Reasonable Hank went onto his blog to share as much information about me as he could – complete with twisted facts about what I said and who I am…. He and [me] play tag team and then go on a rant on Reasonable Hank… No wonder the medical system is in such a state –
“The medical board decided to take no further action because –
- [Dr friend] did not make comments to you on Facebook which could be perceived as disrespectful, attacking your family’s safety, or exposing your place of residence.
- [Dr friend] merely engaged in a debate with you regarding the effectiveness of vaccines.
- [Dr friend]’s comments appear to be his personal opinion and not professional advice.”
So a doctor can do or say what he likes publicly, so long as he keeps jabbing away…. All about money.
The comments are as follows.
Sarah O’Reilly and Lynne Hopewell feature in my post regarding anti-vaccinationists attacking the memorial page of Riley Hughes:
Sarah O’Reilly Well if he has been defamatory then you might be able to do something via Constitutional Law which is different to the rubbish system that he is protected under by the look of it.
Lynne Hopewell I commented on a post that was referring to Baby Riley the other day some woman tagged me to Horrible Hanks page but I couldn’t find anything when I went and checked just paid trolls all of them
Veritas Aléthia It would be hilarious how they tag each other – if they weren’t doing exactly what they claim we are doing..
Joanne Howard is a registered nurse and midwife, as noted above:
Jo Howard Type in my name in Google and reasonable Hank, yes I’ve had run ins with the prick. He tried (.unsuccessfully) to get me fired
Veritas Aléthia He had the gall to call the organisers of a health workshop I was scheduled to talk at. For my own safety I had to pull out and allow someone else to do my presentation. Pretty pathetic effort considering the topic that day was helping the lower socio economic to live and eat healthier – nothing about vaccines 😉
Farrah Tate Wow ladies, that is awful :/
Lynne Hopewell Yep found it https://reasonablehank.com/tag/lynne-hopewell/
the woman that put me there was MICHELLE RAMAGE and I didn’t say anything bad just pointed out that they cant prove that the unvaccinated infected their child

Kate Smith is the partner and business partner of Health Space Clinics chiropractor Adrian Dennewald. They run Denneroll:
Kate Smith He tried to discredit me too. He is a sleaze bag
Kate Smith He keeps everything you write or his moles do.
Sarah O’Reilly Charming character.
Veritas Aléthia What a miserable life to dedicate your days and nights to stalking others. Considering how many of us have been stalked, he was either not breastfed or his mum really hated what she gave birth to 😉
Kate Smith Someone told me reasonable Hank is an [Friend’s former occupation]
Sarah O’Reilly I thought that as well.
Loloma Viti He should change his name to Unreasonable Hank.
Veritas Aléthia Supposedly is but if you go by how much effort is put into this stalking obsession he has, I have a feeling he was sacked. Can’t find any professional info on him but then again he probably has a dozen aliases.
Kate Smith It looks as if they still have moles in this group?? Brittany Smith
Veritas Aléthia Do you mean THIS group? Why?
Kate Smith When I posted a letter to an MP only in this group that night reasonable Hank like a 8 yr old dibber Dobber wrote to the mp and told him that I was associated with a chiropractor and that’s where the abusive letter came from. I told the admins and they rescanned everyone but I believe there are possible moles here
Veritas Aléthia Wow what makes me laugh is that he actually thinks natural therapists are criminals. He did the same with me – tags others to read my comments. I had never heard of him until [Dr friend] tagged me to sick him on me haha. Pretty pathetic. How very dare you ‘associate’ with chiropractors… 😉
Farrah Tate Yes definitely has moles in this group… that is clear from the link Lynne posted.
Trent Wiseman, the UA admin, posted a series of images which were created by troll Ian Hastings to attack myself and my friends; the same images which led to death threats sent to me and my friends by Frank Vazquez. Wiseman became active in the anti-vaccination movement, with his wife, Emma Wiseman – who owns Emma Wise Photography – when the No Jab No Pay legislation was proposed earlier in 2015:
Trent Wiseman It seems as though someone had made [Friend] as hank returned the disrespect and invasion of privacy to which he subjects others
Kate Smith Karma
Trent Wiseman Not even a drop in the ocean of what he deserves. So [Friend], founder of stop the avn, seems to be hank and [Me]. Hank won a sceptics award and [Me] accepted on his behalf, jokes were made about them never being seen together. It’d be safe to assume that with all of the twisted units in savn, it’s likely that a few of them post under [Me] and hank though.
May you all show these guys no more respect than they do us. And to their trolls in this group, get a life. May karma return your malicious behaviour tenfoldLo Mong Where on earth did you get this poster Trent? LoL it is truly scary but I reckon it is spot on after much research & speaking to the people who have argued with him on Twitter & FB. He is a massive drunk & late at night makes mistakes by answering in different identities!
Veritas Aléthia AHPRA don’t even care that [Dr friend] could be the same person. Someone must be paying him good money…
Kate Smith Has anyone ever seen this reasonable Hank in person?
Veritas Aléthia Not that I am aware of.
Peter Angel Psychopath wanker is the real name of its website.
I’ve been on the site but comodo says don’t go there.Peter Angel You’ve heard the term ‘don’t feed the troll/s’.
Learn about psychopaths & ignore them. Feeding them is what they get off on.
[posts three YouTube videos]
Trouble is our financial system is run by them, governments are run by them & worst of all our governments are run by big pharma, which is the worst of all the psychopathic industries !
[posts more YouTube and other video links]
Managing extreme personalities: Part two
[posts ten more links]
This is a typical trait of the psychopath where they will place themselves at the center of dramatic events in order to impress people and thereby more easily manipulate them.
Consider now some of the traits of a psychopath drawn up by Dr. Robert Hare, who really is an expert on psychopathy. Hare devised the PCL-R 20 checklist, which is based on Hervey Cleckley’s 16-item checklist, and ask yourself does any of it fit with the known behavior of Thomas Sheridan.
GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM — the tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A psychopath never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social conventions about taking turns in talking, for example. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH — a grossly inflated view of one’s abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM — an excessive need for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low self- discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or routine. PATHOLOGICAL LYING — can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous, manipulative, and dishonest. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of one’s victims. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT — a lack of feelings or concern for the losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned, dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually demonstrated by a disdain for one’s victims. SHALLOW AFFECT — emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open gregariousness. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY — a lack of feelings toward people in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE — an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete responsibilities. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS — expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR — a variety of brief, superficial relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests. IMPULSIVITY — the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.[posts another YouTube video]
Lindell White The only thing i can think of to say to them anyway begins and ends with the “C” word lol
Brittany Smith Wow that’s awesome – thanks/
Veritas Aléthia The funny thing is, [Dr friend] is a psychiatrist [he isn’t] which is interesting. Speaking to psychologists about his ramblings is a real hoot.
Erin Anne Yep, he went through my facebook account taking screen shots then posted them to forums I had recently commented on. He was warning the public about people like me. I put a complaint into facebook but they just said the photos were removed before they could see them. I blocked him.
Renata Bialkowska is a film school graduate of the University of Technology Sydney. Bialkowska recently used UTS amenities to hold an anti-vaccine seminar which she also filmed as a part of an anti-vaccination documentary she is making:
Renata Bialkowska He also took screen shots from my Facebook which is not public but for friends. So Either we’re friends with a traitor who feeds him or as Peter Angel showed with the warning if you read his website he knows how to hack your account.
Veritas Aléthia Major hacker. A few of us did little ‘tests’ by typing in searches into our google and voila he was talking about the same topics to us. Creep.
Peter Angel Erin Anne & others harassed by these psycho’s !!!
Take your own screenshots & keep exact records of their harassment & REPORT them to the police !!! And make SURE you get a report number !!! Ring the police weekly & keep following up with them until something is DONE ! If enough people do this these scum will be prosecuted & hopefully jailed !
Veritas Aléthia Maybe we do an exposé like a class action to expose just what the medical board are promoting? Especially if we tie in [Dr friend]’s activity. All the screen shots where they have spoken on the same threads and played tag.
Lo Mong Bridge featured in an earlier post for vilifying the mother of deceased baby, Riley Hughes. Lo Mong Bridge discusses how she and her colleagues are planning to have this blog taken down:
Lo Mong Yep Hank’s has a full page written on me. He is trying to ruin my sister’s acupuncture clinic even though she wasn’t even involved in commenting on my thread posts. I’m in the middle of writing a blog page to show how he manipulated my comments, & did not show everything I said including the tragedy of babies dying on both sides, vaccines damaged side as well as the disease side, when I commented on the Light for Riley page. I know we shouldn’t give these trolls more attention then they deserve however don’t you all think we must all blog to show him for what he really is? The public needs to see he is pretending to be a concerned citizen when, really he is paid by pharma to sit there all day & night to attempt to tear people’s reputation & livelihoods apart. I reckon down with this loony!
Peter Angel He needs to be reported to the police for vexatious harassment & any other charge a good lawyer or chamber magistrate can come up with . People need to seek the best free legal advice from several sources.
Lo Mong We have already got advice from a friend at top federal police end who deals with scams & he said its is very costly & drawn out to take it through courts unfortunately 🙁
There has to be a way collectively to do this. Hanks has slandered so many professionals, a lot in the chiropractic industry. He even slandered one chiropractor for making a hospital visit to treat her friend! And said she must step down from her chiropractic association. What a nasty piece of works he is! He has tried to defame so many, I was thinking it would be best that we all work collaboratively to bring him down. Renata Bialkowska has a WordPress blog set up specifically for this purpose. She is happy to upload anyones’ written piece against Hanks to set the record straight. Sure one side of the argument is, if we ignore him, we won’t give him much power. However wouldn’t it be better if clients or customers search our names on the internet, they’ll see Hanks’ dirty slandering, but they’ll also come across our articles showing what a dirty game he plays?Veritas Aléthia To me, as he seethes with loathing re any alternative health professional, seems to come from a medical bias. He sure doesn’t know much about alternative therapies but is obsessive about them Sad that psychopaths are allowed to have computers but the world isn’t fair. The mere fact he selectively copies part comments to make non vaxxers look bad shows how sick he is. In effect he is inflicting more pain on the people who have suffered loss, under the guise of supporting them. A bit like a psychiatrist getting his jollies by torturing sexually abused kids mentally by dragging up all their pain.
Lynette Kennedy Veritas Aléthia this is the first I have heard of this guy just reading through the tread, I had written on the baby Riley article I expressed my sympathy to the family then about my story and how my 4 week old did not get whooping cough after having been doubly exposed to it but my comments were deleted. As he a psychiatrist they say they have the highest suicide rate, so one can only hope or even suggest it to him. He sounds obsessive and very very sadistic also quite mad not just a psychopath. I hope he doesn’t cross my path.
Lo Mong Hanks won Skeptics of the year in 2004. He said in an article that he wasn’t able to go but [Friend] went to collect on his behalf. From what others have said, they were arguing on thread posts with Hanks, & then [Friend] jutted in answering back on the same subject. So I reckon this guy is actually [Friend]! [Me] is just another cover up name.
Veritas Aléthia I knew a [Friend] – he was a paedophile. Lived in my home town and got away with it. Horrid little poison ‘man’ with a small man complex.
Lynette Kennedy Most probably is him they are warped and twisted, you should ask him if he was the paedophile with the same name that lived there.
Veritas Aléthia I did – no answer – just a ton about me on his dodgy page, accusing me of some of the very things he does (attacking bereaved parents, etc).
Kristy Anne McCarrick concern-trolled the Light for Riley memorial page, at the behest of Trevor Simons, who also features in this post of anti-vaccinationists who attacked the Light for Riley page:
Kristy Anne When Light for Riley posted an article regarding a study that allegedly proved the safety of DTaP during pregnancy, I posted that despite these studies, no vaccine manufacturer has claimed safety on any package insert. I then linked to an article that had recently come out, that summarised more recent research on the vaccine (lack of effectiveness in preventing colonisation, possibly encouraging colonisation of b.parapertussis, etc.) I said nothing directly to Riley’s parents, nothing harsh or inflammatory, but a few days later my name was added to a list of those nasty anti-vaxers harassing Riley’s poor parents! It was shocking for me, as I have never condoned that kind of behaviour, and have always encouraged civility and respect when discussing the issue of vaccines. But now if anyone searches my name (and he made sure to say my real last name, even though I had changed to Kristy Anne by that point), that comes up.
Veritas Aléthia Same. He sent me the list with my name on it. All I’d said – after expressing my sadness at their situation, was that there seemed to be a lot of people pretending to be Riley’s family as no way would a bereaved mother be able to be all over every blog on the subject.
Lynette Kennedy If anything all the non vaxxers that I have come across are loving parents and the most sympathetic towards anyone who had suffered the loss of a baby, yet when I have had a look at the pro vax sites it’s full of nasty vitriol and nothing properly researched or educational just full of “conditioned hatred against people who won’t toe the line and conform to be vaccinated. This a new thing because years ago nobody could have cared less what you chose to do. They have to be selected paid trolls, the general public wouldn’t be bothered.
Fiona Elizabeth is Natural Holistic Mum – which changed its name to Conscious Life Mama – who has been making parody memes out of the public health advocacy images created by the Light for Riley memorial page:
Fiona Elizabeth It is possible to take people to court for online defamation on social media… Kayla did it against freelee banana girl and won, and what she did wasn’t half as ad as what R Hank is doing to many on here … Yes it would be costly, but eventually what he’s been doing will come back at him http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/…/story-fni6uo1m-1227286028720
Bikini Girl and Banana Girl settle their online war
adelaidenow.com.au
Mung Bean Thanks for sharing the link. Good to know it is possible to win. However can you imagine taking the subject of vaccination to court? Regardless if Hanks exaggerated claims, can you imagine what a biased pro vac judge would be capable of? It could turn out to be another attack on us pro choice folks
Fiona Elizabeth Yep true, but the subject wouldn’t be vacc it would always be the harassment… Anyway one day he will harrass the wrong person, ie someone very wealthy who canafford the court process..
Brittany Smith Thanks for taking care of this Trent 🙂
Farrah Tate I am so sorry for what you are going through. Utter defamation. Such despicable behaviour. His site is disgraceful. Someone has now twice added a smut ad on Locanto using my mobile phone number. I have been advised to change my number. Pain that is! I have friends and family who are staunchly pro choice but I’m really shocked they’d share my phone number with someone who would do this to me. I would never do that to anyone.
Sarah O’Reilly How horrible that they would do that to you.
Trevor Simons Wow I’m so out of the loop with this!!
Erin Anne On Friday I typed my name into google search. Up came reasonablehank with my name included as one of the anti vaxxer’s targeting Riley’s parents. I’ve never even been on Riley’s page. He used one comment from an anti vax site I had commented on. All I said was “he probably had Heb B and Vit K but not the whooping cough vaccine.” You should read the comment at the end including people thinking we should have our children removed!! I think it’s defamation.
Veritas Aléthia Yes same happened to me. He is inciting hatred and violence – he needs to be stopped. But he’s such a coward that he’s in hiding.
Adam George Crabb These toilet bugs are just pathetic & how low can they go.
Veritas Aléthia Love it!
Lo Mong Bridge had changed her name to Mung Bean whilst this thread was continuing:
Mung Bean I have been told to contact Google about violation of rights. I have a friend who got blogged saying he killed people or sent patients into hospital with his therapies which were not true. He complained to Google, not the platform which the blog site was hosted on, & he was able to get that total blog removed! So we should all work collabaratively to get his whole website removed!!!
Kristy Anne That’s a great idea, I’d be up for that. If we could band together and submit a joint complaint to Google, it might have more impact. My complaint would probably be a bit weak on it’s own, as he quoted me once, but misrepresented the context.
Mung Bean We have lots of people whom he has tried to defame so they will only be too happy to do this
Veritas Aléthia Anyone up for going through his ramblings? I guess we need to google our names online and screenshot what he has come up with. Take it from there.
Mung Bean I’m happy to go through & collate all the names of people he has vilified. There will be hundreds! However writing is not my strongest point, so maybe I can leave that to someone else?
Veritas Aléthia Happy to proof anything as necessary to make sure it’s worded its best. Also as a few journos are starting to get a little interest, maybe we could get them on board to expose him and draw him out of his cave.
Erin Anne Here is a good place to start. There is a list of us in this article. I didn’t even know Riley’s mum was Young Australian of the Year!!! https://reasonablehank.com/…/sydney-antivaxer-attacks…/
Veritas Aléthia Yup – and nothing for the poor parents whose healthy babies died from vaccine injury….
Mung Bean Thanks for offering to look over my writing Veritas
I think to make the biggest impact, it would be better getting each person to write a personal complaint about how he defamed them. Then we all send it off together so this will make a huge impact. How he has gone about vilifying each person is slightly different so we need to really get down to details of how he has violated each person…..I think we will have a strong case against him with Google.Veritas Aléthia We also need to use the other names -[Friend], [Dr friend] etc – all involved in some way, if not the same person.
