Nothing they can do once this info is breached

Look up kidnappings in France. Terrifying

@prestonjbyrne As an Australian I have to say

Bravo sir

This BS does not represent any of us and our blind deaf dumb political class needs to be taken down a peg or two.

@shellenberger @News24Aust @AnikaWells I am now a single issue voter.

If you commit to completely dismantle Australian internet censorship, you get my vote.

@PaulineHansonOz I'm a single issue voter Pauline. You commit to dismantle Albanese entire internet censorship apparatus and you have my vote.

[Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 @PaulineHansonOz]

Labor’s shocking censorship bill cannot be fixed. It must be abandoned completely.

Labor still wants the power to shut down what you are allowed to say, and to run swarms of AI-powered government bots to feed you propaganda and record what you do online.

You just cannot trust this lying government.

There is no amendment that can fix their Digital Duty of Care bill. It never should have seen the light of day. Bin the whole thing and never bring it back.

@AlboMP Take your totalitarianism to China we don't want it here.

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.

@TXMCtrades See Australia on mostly variable mortgages, and adversarial politics, currently not holding it together.

Depends on % of fixed v floating I agree

@JamesSmithndwr @australian It turns out if you destroy productive entrepreneurs then you destroy your tax base.

I wonder how many business closures and how much capital flight they put in their modelling? I bet not enough

@rehan_shei Hi. If you are being taken down on centralised sites you should stream to Nostr which is not centralised. Do you have an HLS feed m3u8? I will set it up. It's free
