Protecting the civil liberties and human rights of all Australians since 1963

The Government is giving Palantir your sensitive information and they haven't even asked you.

We’re told this new Online Terror Centre is for safety, but history shows these powers are often used to manufacture threats rather than solve the systemic issues of online hate.

Instead of enforcing fair industry standards for AI and Big Tech, the Albanese Govt is spending $74m to chase 13-year-olds into private chat rooms. The logic? Target the symptoms, ignore the source.

The Govt is handing $74m to the same agency that a court found further radicalised a 13-year-old autistic boy just to secure an arrest. https://t.co/1dZL2WAvMq

Making those who want to visit and join our community surrender their rights undermines all our rights and weakens Australian values at a time when we need them most.

The Coalition’s new immigration policy would be a Trumpian assault on our civil liberties. Vetting social media and making vague “values” a binding visa condition is a poor attempt at cover for the Coalition to shamefully discriminate against the migrants they do not like.

Stripping legal aid and bypassing judicial oversight with an ICE like taskforce isn't "tough", it’s a rejection of the rule of law.

The NSW cannabis inquiry has recommended broad steps towards decriminalisation that should be considered by the NSW Drug Summit

This is despite premier Minns having ruled out decrim altogether this term

On a day when many people in Australia are concerned about democracy around the world, they will find little comfort that here at home where our right to protest continues to be under attack with @RisingTideAus form 1 application being denied.

The interim report on the inquiry into impact of the regulatory framework for cannabis in New South Wales is out and offers a bare minimum step the Minns government can take right now. Read our full release here: https://t.co/BwvczL0fPg
