[2] Lim ran on the policy of "openness, transparency, accountability and morality" in the council, and refused to get paid for his time in office.

Lim's infamous court case over the use of an offensive word on one of his signs was featured in the award-winning short documentary You Can You Cvn't.

[9] In 2015, Lim was fined $500 for offensive conduct after publicly wearing a sign which labelled the then Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott a 'Cunt'.

[11] The court ruled that the word 'cunt' is not always offensive when said in public compared to countries like the United States and that the fine would have constricted his right to political communication implied in the Constitution.

[20] On 22 September 2023 Lim was assaulted at Strathfield train station in Sydney by a 66 year-old man while advocating for the 'Yes' voice referendum vote.

[21] He was treated and taken to the Concord Repatriation General Hospital where he received a CAT scan and was later reported to have an eye bleed injury.
