We are in the midst of a five-alarm fire on free speech and privacy internationally.
Politicians across the West are demanding new powers for their spy agencies to do what East Germany's secret police, the Stasi, did.
Americans, Europeans, and anyone else online will have their privacy invaded, and personal information, including information about their health and sexual orientation, potentially shared with foreign spy agencies, if the Australian Senate passes the @AlboMP government's totalitarian bill.
New investigative reporting by @MikeNayna, @NAffects, and @itshermargaret reveals that the Albanese government buried in its censorship legislation a radical change to the nation's Privacy Act, one that would open the door to unprecedented secret spying globally.
It's coming at a time when governments in Europe, the UK, and Brazil are all demanding ever-more censorship of their enemies.
Behind the war on free speech is a war on ordinary people seeking to defend core civilizational pillars, from borders to industry to the rights of women.
The iconic 2006 film "The Lives of Others," about the Stasi, is about what happens when politicians decide their citizens are the enemy. That's what's happening today.
It's fitting that the main character on that film poster should be Australia's Prime Minister @AlboMP, whose legislation would weaponize the nation's censorship agency, the "eSafety Commissioner," to spy on citizens and report them to their governments for thought-crime violations.
Every free person in the West should be alarmed by this development and see @AlboMP and his apparatchiks for what they are: a clear and present danger to our freedoms and civilization itself.
It's up to free people to spread the word about this five-alarm fire and resist with everything we've got.
EXCLUSIVE: New censorship legislation would let the Australian government spy on US & European citizens and report "sensitive information" about their lawful political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and health records to foreign spy agencies, including the FBI.
@Fibutton She really is a fraud. Too upset she had to cancel her speech yet, walking on a red carpet, cameras everywhere and she’s flicking her arse left to right, hand in pocket… 🙄
Narcissist!
Commonwealth public servants are up 14.7% since Albanese took office.
That is almost double the growth of the private sector.
It costs an extra $16.8 billion a year.
That is about $1,600 for every household in Australia.
Every year.
That’s right Aussies you’re paying $36k for some foreigner buffoons at a climate scam event in Turkey so they can have free latte’s. That’s Labor for you.
Rubbish!
Voluntary private spending on the Cup that generates hundreds of millions in economic activity, tourism and jobs for Victorians isn’t the same as forcing taxpayers to fund symbolic smoking ceremonies before poisoning rabbits on an empty island or releasing frogs. One creates value; the other is just a cost. Pointing out the difference isn’t racist, it’s basic public money accountability ffs.
Today at our Senate inquiry into Labor’s disastrous digital duty of care bill, @HeadsUpAlliance delivered a scathing assessment, warning such far-reaching powers could be weaponised to restrict free speech and silence political dissent.
It is deeply offensive, undemocratic and dangerous that Anthony Albanese is using child safety as a smokescreen to pass laws to shut down his political opponents.
A must watch ⬇️.
🟠 #BREAKING DEMOSAU VICTORIAN POLL: MASS EXODUS FROM LABOR AS CARROLL'S VOTE CRASHES 7 POINTS TO 18% 🟠
In seven weeks, Labor has bled 7 full points, crashing to a catastrophic 18% in the latest DemosAU poll.
More than a quarter of Labor's entire base has walked out since September, dumping the party that ruled Victoria for 12 years straight down into third place, behind One Nation.
Labor didn't just lose support; they've been completely dismantled.
The Coalition picked up 3 points, the Greens grabbed 3, and One Nation took another.
With the Greens now sitting just 1 point behind Labor, well inside the margin of error, Ben Carroll is staring down the humiliation of finishing fourth on 28 November.
On two-party preferred, the Coalition leads Labor 56 to 44.
A result like that doesn't just defeat Carroll, it wipes his government off the map.
The right bloc of One Nation and the Coalition is on 54%.
The left bloc of Labor, the Greens, independents and others combined is on 46%.
The poll of 1,562 Victorians has a margin of error of about 2.5 points.
