We were right to be sceptical of the Liberal Party’s denouncement of Labor’s Misinformation and Disinformation Bill.
Having gained the first positive political traction from the Blue Ribbon base since their opposition to the Voice to Parliament, Senator Jane Hume has summarily dismantled any delusions that the Liberals have learned their lesson or committed themselves to civil liberty.
(And if the following is a mistake, or a misspoken reply, by all means let us have the Coalition step forward and forever promise to leave this legislation in the shredder.)
Speaking to the current bill on Sky News Australia yesterday, Senator Hume said:
‘The Coalition will deliver its own policy prior to the election, but our priority right now must be to defeat this very bad bill.’
The Liberals were told that the only way to salvage their battered reputation would be to publicly denounce their former role in the creation of this ‘very bad bill’.
Voters have begged the Liberal Party to abandon, in its entirety, any Parliamentary desire to curate the public conversation through various censorial laws disguised as ‘misinformation and disinformation’, ‘digital safety’, or the ‘protection of children’.
The wider Australian community has expressed, through thousands of submissions to this bill, an overwhelming demand that the government to stop messing around in the public forum where they are not needed, invited, or wanted. Their problem is not with this specific bill, it is with the lurch within politics to obsess about public speech.
Nobody trusts the government with censorship powers. News that the Coalition will be busy drafting Misinformation and Disinformation 2.0 once they finish voting down Labor’s bill comes as a cold chill through conservative politics.
This refusal to give up on digital censorship sadly fits with the pattern seen in the leadership of the Opposition, where Peter Dutton frequently voices his approval for various infringements on digital liberty. Some of the worst thought bubbles in this field are his.
The most dangerous of these is the age restriction of social media via facial recognition – something Labor has taken and run with. Turning social media access into something done at the pleasure of the government (first through age, then through whatever it likes) paves the way for government to grant access to the public forum. It is a provision that effectively erasing the concept of a free and open environment for speech.
Citizens may like to remind the government that it did not create social media, nor would it ever be visionary enough to do so. Attempts to regulate social media come from an allergy to the chaos of unfiltered thought which Parliament wrongly sees as a threat to stability. It remains my hope that with enough vocal opposition to these censorial bills, the Coalition will finally drop the bone that is censorship from their policy portfolio.
As for the views of Senator Hume, if I were able to interview her, I have some questions in relation to the protection of medical freedom and ensuring that government opinion regarding medical ‘misinformation’ is not allowed to silence whistle-blowers and victims who expose drug companies on social media.
I notice that in the past, Senator Hume has expressed a negative view of ‘dangerous’ medical information that appeared on social media during the pandemic.
On August 27, 2021, Senator Hume said:
‘Misinformation is dangerous. Ignore those pushing it, like Clive Palmer. Let’s stick to the National Plan, get vaccinated and get back to the lives that we want.’
Those left permanently injured or dead from vaccine side effects of course, cannot return to the lives ‘they want’. During the pandemic, most of what the government and its health authorities published turned out to be misleading, fictitious, or false. Admissions have been made that many of the pedantic pandemic rules were employed to manipulate public behaviour and compliance. That, to me, is a misuse of government trust. In everything from social distancing rules, to contact tracing, to safety and efficacy claims – the government has acted as a purveyor of misinformation. Meanwhile, the truth found on social media was wrongly misidentified. Why should the government have a say in the truth when its current track record is in tatters? Trust is earned, not legislated.
Senator Hume also said in March of 22, ‘The tech giants – the largest digital platforms – have transformed from tools that index context or enable communication, to surveillance platforms and gatekeepers of innovation.’
Remind me, is it X or the former Liberal government that drafted Digital ID legislation to track citizens through the digital world and tried to claim that there was no safe way forward for the digital economy following Covid except through the gatekeeping of government ID?
The point here is not to drag Senator Hume over the coals but to point out what an increasing number of health experts are saying in response to Labor’s current bill – the government is not fit to make decisions on truth and that it made serious mistakes during the previous pandemic.
No matter what their ‘good’ intentions are, the Coalition should not be seeking to replace Labor’s Misinformation and Disinformation Bill with another one of their own. Even if their next bill were ‘perfect’, it would set in law the ability to censor public speech and open the door to constant amendments which would, over time, create a tyrannical mechanism for government to misuse. Just. Stop.

SAVE THE TRUTH, STOP THE BILL – DEFEND OUR DISCOURSE – Voices Under Threat – CENSORSHIP IS THE TOOL USED WHEN THE LIE LOSES ITS POWER
In a free society, the right to express ideas and opinions without fear of government censorship is fundamental. The proposed Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 (MAD Bill) risks stifling open dialogue and preventing Australians from accessing diverse viewpoints. We must protect the integrity of what we can say, what we can share, and what we choose to believe.

Regarding my last posting – please every Australian do this or we are all doomed to Medical Tyranny permanently. The destruction of all our freedoms, rights and choices and our sacred medical rights is obscene and must not be tolerated by any of our people. Fight back and say no.

The Australian Medical Professionals’ Society, Australia Exits the WHO and the Winston Smith Initiative say impending legal changes will create great hardship for Australians.
That’s because Minister Mark Butler is signing Australia up to a troubling World Health Organization document called the 2024 International Health Regulations, which is designed to strengthen the authority of the World Health Organisation.
Medical practitioners and lawyers warn that this draconian document will negatively affect our way of life and call for politicians to insist the federal Government opts out of it before the March 2025 deadline.
A series of 11 audio messages of just 3 minutes each, that are being released daily, explain what these changes will be and how they will affect Australians.

International Governments Are Criminalizing Free Speech Through Global Coordination; New Files Expose Plot
In a chilling assault on free speech, governments and shadowy organizations are secretly collaborating to silence dissent and criminalize those who dare to question the official narrative.
EXPOSED: The Secret Global Plot to Silence and Criminalize Dissent
In a chilling assault on free speech, newly obtained documents reveal how international governments are collaborating to silence dissent and criminalize those who dare to question the official narrative. Spearheaded by the Biden-Harris administration in the U.S. and the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) in the UK, these revelations highlight a disturbing global effort to suppress free speech and control the flow of information.
The new files, uncovered through America First Legal’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)requests, show how the U.S. and UK governments, in partnership with powerful non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and international bodies like NATO and the G7, have formed a global alliance to label and criminalize dissent. This global coordination is not just theoretical but has already manifested through Big Tech censorship, legal frameworks like the UK Online Safety Act 2023, and government pressure on social media platforms to deplatform individuals who challenge dominant narratives, especially those relating to health policies and vaccines.

Senator Babet fights Albanese Govt’s appalling ‘Mis/Disinformation Bill’
Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 [Provisions]
UAP Senator Ralph Babet has ramped up his opposition to the Albanese Labor Government’s proposed ‘Mis/Disinformation Bill’ by submitting a detailed objection to the Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications.
The Bill has sparked widespread concern, with over 35,000 Australians voicing their opposition through Senator Babet’s website. Senator Babet calls for the Bill to be rejected in its entirety, arguing that existing legislation already protects Australians from online harm.
He highlights laws such as the Online Safety Act 2021, the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005, and existing defamation and criminal laws as sufficient tools to safeguard citizens from misinformation and disinformation without the need for additional measures.
“The proposed bill threatens the human rights of Australians, including freedom of expression, privacy, and due process,” Senator Babet said.
He warned that the broad definitions and sweeping powers granted to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and the Minister could result in overreach, undermining democratic principles and leading to arbitrary enforcement.
In the submission, Senator Babet advocates for alternative approaches, such as adopting educational initiatives like New Zealand’s model, where citizens are empowered to scrutinize information critically. He also suggests exploring the use of ‘community notes’ on digital platforms to challenge inaccurate information while trusting the Australian public to determine the truth for themselves.
“Granting government authorities and digital platforms the power to control the flow of information is a step towards authoritarianism.
“Australians should be trusted to decide what is true or false, without interference from the state,” Senator Babet said.

Censorship/Surveillance – Facebook Gave CDC ‘Backdoor’ Access to Help Remove Millions of Social Media Posts
Documents obtained by America First Legal show Facebook “was operating as the de facto enforcement arm of the U.S. government’s thought control initiative,” Reclaim the Net reported.
by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
September 30, 2024
Facebook provided the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “backdoor” access to its platform so the CDC could submit requests to remove COVID-19 “misinformation,” according to an internal Facebook document made public for the first time as part of an ongoing legal case.
America First Legal filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2021, after then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed the Biden administration was flagging purported “disinformation” on social media platforms, including content posted by members of the so-called “Disinformation Dozen.”
When the Biden administration didn’t comply with the FOIA request, America First Legal sued, leading to the release of the documents as part of the discovery process.
According to Reclaim the Net, in 2021, Facebook developed a “Content Request System” (see pages 54-72) — also called a “Government Reporting System” — accessible to CDC staff. The documents show Facebook “was operating as the de facto enforcement arm of the US government’s thought control initiative.”
The Facebook-CDC partnership helped Facebook remove millions of posts, the documents show.
Gene Hamilton, executive director of America First Legal, told The Defender, “These documents show precisely how one of the social media platforms facilitated the federal government’s engagement in unconstitutional censorship activities.”

“Who Owns the World?” A Small Group of Big Money
By Peter Koenig
Global Research, February 26, 2024
Who Owns the World” is the title of an extraordinary documentary, describing how Big-Big Money controls not only every aspect of your life, but has a stranglehold on every government, the political UN body, as well as every UN agency, and all industries and services of this globe.
These largest investors are BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
These same investment groups also control over 90% of the world’s major media.
Even Rupert Murdoch’s media empire is majority owned by BlackRock / Vanguard. It is therefore no miracle that hardly any news penetrates the walls of secrecy about these major shareholders of every aspect of human life and life-related activities and businesses.
They control politicians, geopolitics and military deployments
It is a monopoly that can literally not be opposed by traditional means.
They have also invented the “rules-based order” — overruling every international and national law at their will.
They know no limits, no ethics and adhere to no human or human rights standard. POWER is them.
