t.me/avninformedchoice/4073https://lettersfromaustralia.substack.com/p/free-speech-shock-you-have-one-weekThe Censorship Bill now before the Parliament was punched through the lower house in a shock vote on Thurs 7th NovemberThey did this on the sly, while we were looking at US elections, then blinded us with the squid ink of “ban on social media for under-16s”
It's now passed both the 2nd & the 3rd 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 & say on social media, censoring the internet
ACMA is full of Permanent Canberra bureaucrats spies & ex-cops. They will decide what is “accurate” & what is “wrong” or “lies” & then censor what they deem “misinformation”
You will never again see or share a dissenting scientific, medical or economic opinion if the Gov't 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 sits next on 18th Nov - Calendar here👇
https://www.aph.gov.au/news_and_events/events_calendarTo stop this Bill you need to contact the Senators in your state & tell them that if they vote this into law, that you will punish them at the next election & campaign actively to have them voted out. Go in person (and be polite) to your nearest electoral office. Failing that, phone their office. Be always calm & polite - never rude
There must be electoral consequences for this.
This Substack will be updated 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 & shares on socials
If socials are censored for what the gov't calls “misinformation” then The Guardian ABC SBS a& Nine will all self-censor too
Meta (FB, Insta, Threads & WhatsApp) is already gearing up for it
Lawyer Tony Nikolic accurately pinpointed that the institutions that stand behind this “misinformation” censorship bill - media organisations, gov't agencies, regulatory bodies & bureaucracies - are not neutral arbiters of truth. Rather, they are gatekeeepers, filtering & sanitising information to protect their own interests

t.me/Aussie_Solutions_2024/38250I will add that they are the bureaucratic class of university-educated entitled people, who despise the blue-collar working class. They hate you &they will not share power with you, & they are afraid of you. That is why they want to control what you can say & share online
“Free speech is not dangerous,” Nikolic wrote
“It is the cure for misinformation, prejudice & bias. It is through the clash of opinions, unfettered debate & the exchange of ideas that we as a society find truth"

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