Upon deeper analysis The Digital Duty of Care Bill seems designed as part of a global censorship push to introduce sweeping surveillance powers.
Incredible analysis from Margaret Chamber ( institute of Public Affairs) who has uncovered a hidden amendment to the Privacy Act which unleashes the eSafety Commissioner’s ability to gather massive information on people.
Where information on political views, biometric data, religious believes, ethnicity could be collected without consent and could be shared overseas with regulators like OfCom.
@PooWillRatioYou@Wutangflan23 Nobody cares what you think. At least you dropped the Aussie dad. Trying to tarnish actual Aussie dads with whatever it is you are. Not a father figure thats for sure.
The people waving Palestinian Flags in Australia say that they represent Australia 🙄
They are not Australians.
They are traitors & hostile foreign migrants that need to be deported.
REAL Australians know who we are & where we came from.
If you wave a foreign Flag, you should be sent to the country that you support & are loyal to.
We stand with Australians.
Stand with us. We only have one home.
This Sunday:
- Melbourne, Flinders St Station, 11am
Next Sunday:
- Sydney, 11am
Convoy into Canberra - we make our final stand for 2026 - Saturday 14th November.
Come one, come all. This is our country

Taxpayers gave mining titan Twiggy Forrest's Fortescu A$308M in energy subsidies in 2025 alone, plus A$99M for an H2 project he abandoned. In exchange, Forrest gave millions for propaganda to pass @AlboMP government's censorship bill. It's a transparent, sinister quid pro quo.
Congrats on ushering in “Black Mirror” style totalitarianism.
Section 25E(1)(c) makes “material or conduct that encourages or promotes hostile attitudes towards women or gender equality” a harm platforms must keep from every user they can’t prove is an adult.
Section 25E(1)(f) adds “any other material or conduct ... that may cause serious harm to children.”
And your team added in the bill labeling the encouraging of someone to “take their own life” as “seriously harmful” — I take it that's so you can censor people who wish you dead — except “in the context of voluntary assisted dying.” Sick.
Oh, and the evidence that your Social Services Minister cited on "Insiders" that it takes “an average of 23 minutes” to be fed “violent misogynistic content” is garbage science. There was a Dublin City University experiment with ten fake accounts on ten phones.
Totalitarianism by the stupid class to prevent anyone from criticizing you. You're an embarassment.
Aussie with Australian Flag & Aboriginal man in One Nation hat/ shirt are rejected from an Aussie Pub & called racist because they attended a Patriot rally in Adelaide to end mass immigration.
@AlboMP I thought you were getting off social media. When ever your mouth moves it is only lies. There is a special place reserved for scum like yourself.
If she was an immigrant she'd be let off with a warning, say no to 2 tier justice in Australia, help Holly by donating to her legal fees so she can raise her teen daughter.
The law is not applied equally in Australia, we must stand up for our own people. #auspol
Australians are spending $600 million a month on uber eats and doordash, that means in a year, just from those 2 companies blackrock and vanguard take about $1.1 billion out of the Australian ecconomy, after wages to Indian drivers, after all expenses to run the companies.
$1.1 billion, gone forever.
Stop using Uber.
Stop using doordash.
After today's event was attacked with a signal jammer and most people missed @shallowchal speaking, here it is, clear as a bell.
If you want to see this in your home town then join @AusLobby today and share this video everywhere.
Wow, wow, wow. I just left the National Press Club where Minister of Communications @AnikaWells spoke. She repeatedly and brazenly lied about the fake accounts, claiming they were only for enforcement, even though the legislation says in black and white that the eSafety Commissioner can use them in unlimited ways for "educational" and "promotional" purposes.
One big moment came when a Politico reporter got up and said something about how mean people like @PaulineHansonOz were to eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant. Seriously. A supposed reporter was white-knighting for a government official during the official Q&A. The same reporter had come up to me before Wells' speech and asked if I had criticized Inman-Grant. Who needs government censors when you have Politico?
After he asked his question, Wells showed the most emotion, describing online criticism of Inman-Grant as "abuse." She also talked about her own staff's supposed suffering. I kid you not. The mask dropped, and you could see what really upset her: people — including a sitting Senator — criticizing government officials.
After gaslighting the audience about fake accounts, Wells repeatedly insisted the government wasn't trying to censor content. She said this after filling her speech with examples of content she claimed harmed people. You couldn't make it up.
This legislation is the culmination of decades of progressives equating words with physical violence. Wells cynically compared her legislation to prevent psychological "harm" to various laws that protect people from physical harm, like seat belt laws.
BTW, Wells never said what content it was that she thought caused eating disorders. Pictures of skinny women? Dietary advice? Who knows. Nobody asked.
Another important moment came when Wells explicitly said Australia would be pursuing censorship alongside other nations, including the UK, France, and Spain—all countries where governments risk losing power to populists.
I spoke with Julie Inman-Grant before the speech began and asked about the fake accounts. She insisted they were there just for enforcement, and when I asked why the law allowed them to be used for government propaganda, she said she might write an "enforcement memo," which, of course, would have no impact on the legislation.
After her speech, I went up to Wells and asked if she was seriously saying the legislation didn't allow the government to use fake accounts for government propaganda. She refused to answer. A man who said he was from the National Press Club stepped in front of me and said I could interview her afterward. But that wasn't possible because they rushed her out the back to avoid any difficult questions.
So there you have it. The pettiest people in Australia are seeking to silence citizens and their political opponents in the name of protecting children. These deeply intolerant and cynical people want to control what you can see and say online. And they're doing it with most of the media's support. Australia has reached a new low in its rapid descent into dogmatism, intolerance, and censorship.
