Warren Tredrea tells Federal Court he cannot pay legal debt to Channel 9, over Covid firing case, without gold or silver coins
Former Port Adelaide footballer and board member Warren Tredrea says he can’t reimburse Nine for his failed Covid lawsuit, because the coin of the realm is lacking.
Port Adelaide Football Club board member Warren Tredrea has told a court he cannot pay his debt to Channel 9 because Australia has no “gold or silver coins” in circulation.
Tredrea has also claimed, in Federal Court documents, he is “not an entity” nor a “legal person, citizen or resident” but a “private man” whose “yes be yes” and “no be no”.
The court has ordered Tredrea to reimburse Nine’s legal costs – estimated at between $100,000 and $200,000 – incurred by his attempt to resurrect his wrongful dismissal lawsuit.
However in his documents, filed ahead of a hearing on Tuesday, Tredrea says he cannot pay his debt because Australian currency lacks gold and silver coins.
Instead, he says, his former employer – which terminated his contract over his refusal to be vaccinated for Covid-19 – must instead accept “a promisorry note”, or legal IOU.
“I answer to the name Warren Tredrea of South Australia, a private man, my yes be yes, my no be no,” he writes.
“I am not an entity, legal person, citizen, resident or any form of creature of statute.
“I have not been provided with any material facts or evidence that shows there exists any lawful gold or silver coin of substance in common circulation upon which to close, pay and extinguish an account.
“I believe sincerely that none exists … I believe no gold or silver coin in circulation can pay a debt.”
In March 2024, Tredrea lost his $5.77 million claim against Nine, which he claimed had unreasonably fired him, as its sports presenter, due to its Covid-19 vaccination mandate.
During that trial he denied he was “an anti-vaxxer” who had used the movement’s “language” on radio.
He also denied he was dismissed for poor performance, “stumbles” during broadcasts or boosting a yoga business owned by his wife – a supporter of “freedom rallies” – on his social media.
“I was a presenter who presented, found exclusive stories and distributed them to other workers who won media awards off the back of me,” he said.
The court ruled Tredrea’s dismissal was “not unreasonable” given his “opinions” about vaccines “were not particularly well-informed” nor “soundly based”.
Despite his defeat, Tredrea was spared paying Nine’s costs – however he subsequently filed an appeal which, in November 2024, the court denied.
In April 2025, it ordered Tredrea pay Nine’s costs of the appeal, saying his challenge was filed “without reasonable cause”.
It further noted Nine had, five months before the appeal judgment, offered “a reasonable ‘walk away’ offer to settle the appeal” before it had been heard.
Tredrea is no longer represented by the counsel who conducted his trial, and is now being represented by Mark Andrew Pytellek.
The case is listed for a hearing before Justice Stephen McDonald on Tuesday.

Australian separatist Mark Andrew Pytellek held over courtroom brawl
The self-professed leader of an Australian separatist movement has been taken into custody during wild scenes in a Gold Coast courtroom.
Mark Andrew Pytellek was due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on a host of traffic charges Friday morning but refused to approach the bar table as the defendant when Magistrate John Costanzo called his case forward.
Instead, he claimed he was only the administrator of the estate of Mark Andrew Pytellek.
Mr Constanzo then issued a warrant for his arrest and after a brief struggle in the courtroom he was taken into custody.
An extra charge of serious obstruct police was added to his litany of other traffic matters.
He will reappear in court again on Saturday.
Mr Pytellek claims to be the sovereign of the Caledonia Australis nation, one of several so-called sovereign states in Australia, and bases its beliefs on an aversion to taxes and rates imposed by Australian governments, councils and police jurisdictions.
However, unlike the famous Principality of Hutt River Province, Caledonia Australis is a 'spiritual community' rather than having an actual geographical home.
Hutt River's self-proclaimed crown prince Leonard George Casley famously declared war on Australia in 1977 but ceased hostilities before a shot was fired.
