Send ear phones!! Dante's 7th on the (very) crowded Echuca train with feral kids ssreaming fighting, yelling and and parents apparently immune/innured. Is this gentle parenting or thoughtlessness?
ASIO Amendment Bill No. 2 has officially passed Parliament — 106 Ayes to 8 Noes.
This is no longer “temporary anti-terror legislation.”
It is now permanent law giving ASIO police-state style powers over every day Australian citizens.
What the bill actually does: Removes the sunset clause — these powers are now permanent
Allows compulsory questioning of children as young as 14
Lets the Attorney-General personally issue questioning warrants — no court approval required
Makes it a criminal offence to tell anyone (including your family) that you’ve been questioned
Gives ASIO the power to reject your chosen lawyer and severely restricts what your lawyer can do or say during questioning
Strips away your right to silence — you must answer their questions or face jail
This is not about catching terrorists anymore.
This is about giving an intelligence agency the power to secretly drag any Australian in for interrogation without suspecting you of any crime.
106 politicians just voted to hand ASIO these powers.
Only 8 had the courage to vote No.
Your right to remain silent?
Your right to proper legal defense?
Your right to know when the state is targeting you? Gone. Eroded. Normalised.
This is how freedoms die — not with a bang, but with a quiet division in Parliament House.
Share this widely. Australians need to know what just happened behind closed doors.

@bendigobank Hey Bendigo Bank has your system been hacked...phone answering return numbers wrong, dual factor ID wrong, not allowing remedy of errors...??
@BarbaraPocock@joan_armitage No, it's getting worse because governments LIKE inflation as it helps pay down debt. Going for big corporations would expose their own poor money management
And in the meanwhile a 89 year old neighbour waiting 10 month for an assessment (again on doctors recommendation) while exhausted spouse teetering on the edge from care duties. #myagedcare. WtF @AlboMP !!
Serious bureaucracy gone mad! 84 yr injured and unwell needs, on Drs recommendation, an extra half an hour service to hang out washing and change linen. This would bring her to a grand total of one and a half hours fortnightly. 64, yes SIXTY FOUR pages to complete! #myagedcare
"Don't let kindness and truth leave you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you'll find favour and good repute in the sight of God and man."
Proverbs 3:3-4
Morning, everyone! What a lovely day for truth and kindness! ♥️
@aaronsmith But the absolutely laughable thing? There are NO consequences for anyone getting around these restrictions for kids or adults! So, as you were then! So easy to circumvent and no charges if you do and they find out.
Toothless legislation is purely performative! Time wasters!
@aaronsmith Agreed. Whilst I support the theory around this, in practice the government should not be the one enforcing this.
If anything, regulate it and govern what children can and can't see but banning it and forcing verification is a biometric data grab.
