HELP STOP THE MISINFORMATION BILL !
Our government has shown itself to be a major source of harmful misinformation and disinformation (eg COVID and "climate change") and now they want to shut down your free speech which is a foundation of our democracy to allow them to crush dissent. Don't let them do it. Call you Federal Senator NOW.

FREE SPEECH SHOCK: you have ONE WEEK to stop the Censorship Bill
It's down to the Senate vote: this is how you can tell them "NO"
ALISON BEVEGE
NOV 8

The Censorship Bill now before the Parliament was punched through the lower house in a shock vote on Monday, November 7.

They did this on the sly, while we were looking at the US elections - then blinded us with the squid ink of “ban on social media for under-16s”.

It has now passed both the Second and the Third Readings, which leaves just the Senate to stop it with a vote.

This “Misinformation” Bill will give an unelected bureaucracy (ACMA) control of everything you can hear, see and say on social media, censoring the internet.

ACMA is full of Permanent Canberra beaurocrats, spies and ex-cops. They will decide what is “accurate” and what is “wrong” or “lies” and then censor what they deem “misinformation”.

You will never again see or share a dissenting scientific, medical or economic opinion if the Government decides it is causing too much flack for the bureaucracy or their corporate “partners”.

If you want free speech you must act now, there’s no time to waste. Senate next sits November 18 - you can see the calendar here.

To stop this Bill you need to contact the Senators in your state - and tell them that if they vote this into law, that you will punish them at the next election and campaign actively to have them voted out. Go in person (but be polite) to their nearest electoral office. Failing that, phone their office. Be always calm and polite - never rude.

There must be electoral consequences for this.

I will update this Substack with a record of how they voted. They will not be forgotten.

This Bill will not only censor the internet, it will back-engineer censorship of corporate media where the metric of journalistic success is clicks and shares on socials.

If socials are censored for what the government calls “misinformation” then The Guardian, ABC, SBS and Nine will all self-censor, too.

Lawyer Tony Nikolic accurately pinpointed that the institutions that stand behind this “misinformation” censorship bill - media organisations, government agencies, regulatory bodies and bureaucracies - are not neutral arbiters of truth. Rather, they are gatekeeepers, filtering and sanitising information to protect their own interests.

I will add that they are the bureaucratic class of university-educated entitled people, who despise the blue-collar working class. They hate you and they will not share power with you, and they are afraid of you. That is why they want to control what you can say and share online.

“Free speech is not dangerous,” Nikolic wrote.

“It is the cure for misinformation, prejudice, and bias. It is through the clash of opinions, unfettered debate, and the exchange of ideas that we as a society find truth.”

More than 22,000 people have signed a petition against the Bill as of November 8: click the button below to add your voice.

If we lose this battle we will lose everything Australia ever stood for.

Every time censorship such as this is tried it leads to the same thing: lies and errors are covered up with bigger lies and errors. It ends with the powerful stealing everything you own, because that’s what darkness lets criminals do.

Here is a breakdown of the Parliamentary MPs who voted for this bill. They must be VOTED OUT next Federal Election. Look to see who is your local MP and campaign against them.

URGENT: A call to action to oppose Australia’s misinformation bill

Note: I used ChatGPT for the first time to help compile those lists - and it was quite a frustrating experience I must say. So many hours of asking it to repeat tasks, I almost could have done it in the same time manually. We’ll see if it gets any more useful. Please let me know in comments if you catch any errors I missed. I caught it calling Fatima Payman “Labor”.
