A draft ‘disinformation bill’ has been introduced to combat the spread of 'fake news' effectively restricting free speech online - some are calling it a 1984 style Ministry of Truth.
In medicine, those of us suggesting the lockdowns were unscientific and posed a significant danger to health; that the Covid "vaccines" were potentially dangerous and were not likely to work, faced possible deregistration. Patently obvious at the time, and confirmed beyond doubt now, the claims at the time were considered "misinformation".
The bill is simply a push by the Marxist left, who now control all government and all institutions, to eliminate any alternative views on anything deemed a threat to their total control. Sadly, Morrison was trying to push the same bill on us. Even more sad, as Alex Antic suggests, is the complete disinterest from the majority of Australians, who seem to be more concerned about the footy results than freedom.
I too share a fear that Substack, which represents the last bastion of truthful discourse, will be in their sights.
Imagine if they came for us on Substack. I gave up on Facebook and gave twittered but love the community here. It is the last refuge for truth and rational discussion.
Jordan B. Peterson said, during one of his podcast interviews, "Responsibility abdicated is soon vacuumed up by scoundrels". Australians are too casual with things like this. "She'll be right!" won't do in this case. When we read up on the Soviet Union, things began in a similar way. Authoritarian rule, shutting down alternative ideas, brutal clamp down on descent, attacks and eventual devastation of the wealthy, and finally, a completely loss of freedom. It took over 2 years, with the last steps being achieved through a brutal civil war. HAve these idiots really sat down to contemplate where their ideology is headed.

Thank you for this. It us not easy to protest in this one but I have tried.
Peter Fam is working on a detailed submission critiquing the bill🤞
That’s great. That is what is really needed. Such a heinous astonishing piece of legislation. But fool us once - never again.
Would these proposed legal curbs on article 10 rights of freedom of expression, apply to newsletters or services like Substack?
It’s any public posts - private emails and text messages are not targeted - I’m told a privately emailed substack newsletter would be exempt.

Have a look at John Campbell's latest Youtube post. Maybe somebody wants to try to limit the spread of this information.
Agree agree agree ☺️
