@TziporahMalkah @pollsstar The Liberals are trying to push through a bill making it law as we speak.

@PolishTamales I think it was a mashup of the rich men guys. I believe it's Gates wanting a reduction in birth rate. Bezos has been to space hasn't he? I don't think Musk has.

Aussie women have always been the most beautiful women. Here’s how the Aussie girl’s look has evolved from 1978 to 2026.

@HeritageMatterz With one vocal microphone and no other mic or pick-up to capture the guitar we are led to believe this performance is live, yet we can hear a stereo mix with multiple separately processed EQ'd and panned elements, possible only with a multitrack recording. Not %100 live.

@DrewPavlou Drew misconstrues the op to drive engagement and stoke division.

[Colin @5nap3]

@NakieApe @MickamiousG @therealrukshan Agreed. He’s posted the odd intelligent statement, but I fear he may have run of ideas today and needed fulfill his engagement quota.

@mcafeenew Not true

@VoteLewko AI generated meme by the PM himself. lol!

@Kon__K I didn’t see any of the parties support the bill to begin with. So they didn’t withdraw support. It never had it. It’s a horrible piece of legislation and would not done anything to address the root cause of the Bondi massacre.

@ChrisLawsonHood @craigkellyAFEE I recall the complaint from most of the population that the govt wasn't into a RC. The only people I heard talking about rushing through new laws without due process were the fed and state govt.

A timely reminder from Ricky Gervais.

Free speech is the right to criticise any ideas including religion.

Blasphemy style protections are ludicrous. That an all powerful deity must be protected from having its feelings hurt.

Ideas do not have rights! Only people do. Including the right to criticise any belief system without censorship.

Offense is the unavoidable price of true freedom.

‘Just because your offended doesn’t mean your right.’

[Colin @5nap3]

@SandraEckersley Wrong.

@celina101010 Is the latest govt ad?

[Colin @5nap3]

@OneNationAus She’s a journalist? I thought she was a politician.

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

@TerpsMLC When a government passes legislation that contradicts the will of the people, what do call that?

[Chris Littlewood @chrislittlewoo8]

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
