A great post by one of our favourite journalists, Rebekah Barnett (if you have some spare money, subscribe to her blog to support young Aussie independent journalists). Human rights lawyer peter Fam cuts to the chase in criticism of the government’s new mis-and disinformation Bill. The Bill, proposes to allow the Australian Media and Communications Authority (ACMA) to create and enforce industry standards for the internet, forcing platforms under pains of massive fines, to censor content that the government does not like. Thus, all the debate about the Covid mandates, lockdowns and vax injuries would have been suppressed if the Bill was in as law. I would expect that all the other evils that the Labor Party has instore including the Voice referendum, and inevitable treaty, will also be dealt with in this way.
At the bottom of this article are some things you can do to oppose it, including a link to the government site where you can put in a letter of protest and opposition. Hopefully someone like Elon Musk will get moving and challenge this Bill in the High Court of Australia. From this point on, let us call the Labor Party, the Evil Party.
