Daniel Klein has an article, “Misinformation is a Word We Use to Shut You Up,” which is a relevant read in the aftermath of the Voice referendum. The Yes campaign constantly resorted to the tactic of making false claims, like the Uluru Statement from the Heart was only a single-page document. Another lie was that indigenous people currently didn’t have a say in the formulation of government policies, even though there are a disproportionate number of indigenous members of parliament relative to the indigenous population numbers.
The misinformation claim was made to the No side when these sorts of claims were criticised. If the elites have their way, and with internet censorship moving ahead, with the prime minister’s Misinformation Disinformation Bill, really a censorship Bill, next time round it may not be possible to publicly oppose anything that the elites put up. But, hopefully, Australians may be beginning to take back their country.
