The government is seeking our feedback on an exposure draft of the Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023. We have argued at the blog that this is one of he greatest threats to what little remains of free expression, since it will force social media companies to do the censoring. We saw under the Covid plandemic what can be done, and they are only getting started. But, readers can make a submission, and should, in your own words, saying that you oppose the Bill, as the issue is who defines “misinformation.” It was “misinformation” to say, that the Covid vaxxes did not prevent transmission, which was shown to be false. The claim that the Covid virus was from a lab leak, was previously “misinformation,” but now is the leading explanation. This Bill will prevent the truth from getting out.
