🚨 BREAKING: The government may not be able to force you to fall in love… but it’s getting increasingly interested in supervising the process 👀🇦🇺
That’s why Giggle v Tickle matters far beyond one app.
Because modern life has created a giant legal grey zone nobody wants to talk about:
⚖️ At what point does anti-discrimination law stop protecting people from unfair treatment…
…and start intruding into private human relationships?
Think about it.
🏢 A café sells coffee.
🚕 A taxi sells transport.
🏦 A bank provides financial services.
Easy. Public commerce.
But what exactly is a dating app selling?
❤️ Attraction?
💬 Conversation?
👥 Friendship?
🔥 Chemistry?
💋 Intimacy?
🧠 Validation?
Because dating apps are built entirely around discrimination in the ordinary sense of the word:
▪️ choosing
▪️ filtering
▪️ preferring
▪️ rejecting
That’s literally the business model.
People swipe left every day because of:
▪️ sex
▪️ sexuality
▪️ religion
▪️ politics
▪️ age
▪️ personality
▪️ appearance
▪️ lifestyle
▪️ attraction
And nobody seriously believes every rejection should become a legal matter.
😂 Imagine filing a human rights complaint because somebody didn’t find you attractive.
Yet this is where the cultural and legal tension starts heading.
📱 Social apps now blur together:
▪️ commerce
▪️ identity
▪️ socialising
▪️ relationships
▪️ community
▪️ intimacy
…and governments increasingly treat them all as ordinary public accommodation.
⚠️ But they are NOT ordinary.
A supermarket sells groceries.
A dating platform mediates human intimacy.
Those are fundamentally different categories.
🧠 Here’s the uncomfortable reality:
The closer law moves toward regulating:
▪️ attraction
▪️ social acceptance
▪️ emotional inclusion
▪️ private association
…the closer the state moves toward supervising human relationships themselves.
That should concern EVERYONE.
Because freedom of association doesn’t just mean the right to include.
It also means the right to exclude.
✔️ the right to say no
✔️ the right to choose
✔️ the right to prefer
✔️ the right to form communities voluntarily
A free society cannot function if every personal preference becomes a potential legal dispute.
📜 Equality before the law matters.
But so does individual liberty.
When those principles collide in intimate human life, the state should back off — not double down.
Governments have enough trouble running hospitals and roads.
They don’t need to become the Department of Romance and Approved Attraction. 😂

LIBERTARIANS LIFT BAN!
A bill lifting the ban on Uranium Mining in NSW brought by the Libertarian Party has PASSED the Upper House…
It still has to pass the lower house but this is real change, with only 1 vote and the power of persuasion!
Imagine when @GemmaNoiosi joins him!
Australia's first pro-nuclear bill in years has just passed the Upper House of the NSW Parliament.
This is a major win for our movement. Next step is to keep up the pressure when the bill goes to the Lower House where NSW Labor has a majority.
Thank you for your support, the future is bright for nuclear in Australia.

The NSW Parliament has gone nuclear!
Well done and congratulations to @JohnRuddick2 for this nationally important achievement.
While others talk about making Australia great again, the @LibertariansNSW are getting the job done.
ANNOUNCED (QLD): Daniel Selff confirmed as Libertarian candidate for the Stafford by-election.
34-year-old Brisbane high school teacher — a millennial stepping up to represent his generation.
🗳️ 16 May #Stafford
Stafford deserves better — and this time, there’s a real choice.
Daniel Selff is a local high school teacher stepping up to represent his community.
He’s not a career politician — he sees every day where things aren’t working and is prepared to challenge it.
16 May: Stafford has the chance to do something different. @_davidlimbrick@VictorKTey@RossCameron4@DanielSelff@ausvstheagenda@QBCCIntegrity@TopherField@Batman2242
Bill Gates is very interested in your water.
He’s the largest private owner of US farmland (~275k acres), much of it sitting right on top of major aquifers with attached groundwater rights.
Meanwhile, BlackRock pours billions into water infrastructure/tech, and Nestlé fights tooth-and-nail to treat water as a commodity (not a human right).
Water = the next oil. Control the source, control everything below it.
While we’re distracted, the underground power grab is real. Who’s thirsty? 💧
The Royal Commission into Bondi is a tick box exercise.
They are not taking evidence from eye witnesses.
Who then?
They are investigating ‘right wing extremism’ when it was radical Muslims who committed the crime.
That’s enough for me.
It’s another Lefty waste of time.
An Australian teenager who died after eating beef sausages on a camping trip has officially been confirmed as the first person in Australia to die from a tick-induced meat allergy. Since 2020, cases of this allergy have increased by 40%.
In 2016, World Economic Forum member and bioethicist Matthew Liao spoke about using genetic engineering or tick-based methods to induce a “meat allergy” in people as a way to reduce meat consumption for environmental reasons.
.... for now.
As much as I admire the recent growth of One Nation, and I am glad for its challenging of the existing political hegemony, leadership stability is its biggest risk factor.
Pauline Hanson is not far away from wanting to retire - so who becomes its next leader is very much a prospective shit-fight.
A lot of people with very different political objectives have thrown themselves into the One Nation party, a party that does not actually have any prescribed principles (its principles are essentially whatever Pauline Hanson wants them to be - influenced by political and/or populist expediency). If (when) One Nation achieves a level of control over government decision making (either as a major cross bench party or as a partner in a coalition government) it will be a significant test of the party's leadership stability to keep those competing political objectives within the one team, and not fighting each other (in factional conflicts).
The party also has a lot of voters and supporters, many of them newly politically activated, who have put a lot of aspiration onto the shoulders of One Nation. This will become a significant test of its leadership stability as it finds itself disappointing some (many?) new supporters as it starts making compromises with the government (to get legislation through the parliament) - similar to the journey of the Australian Democrats.
So while I am happy for One Nation and its new support, I see significant risks on its horizon.
