The Australian Government has recently introduced in Parliament a new law proposal to ban officially unapproved online content. Digital companies are expected to adopt a code of conduct which will see them censor speech based on broad, vague and far-reaching directives.
The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 foreshadows the imposition of a legal obligation on digital platforms to police alleged ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’. If that does not work, the law proposal provides for the full empowerment of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to directly intervene for the purpose of preventing ‘harm’.
Section 2 of the proposed legislation defines ‘harm’ as follows:
(a) hatred against a group in Australian society on the basis of ethnicity, nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or physical or mental disability;
(b) disruption of public order or society in Australia;
(c) harm to the integrity of Australian democratic processes or of Commonwealth, State, Territory or local government institutions;
(d) harm to the health of Australians;
(e) harm to the Australian environment;
(f) economic or financial harm to Australians, the Australian economy or a sector of the Australian economy.

has a nation ever been cucked more rapidly than Australia? Sweden maybe? The fate of the West rests in the future of the Eastern European nations... which is funny considering how long the Western ones looks down their noses at them.
We may have to return to snail mail and landlines.
Have you noticed that if the fascists aren’t talking about saving children, it’s about protecting democracy, neither of which do they care about. Their propaganda targets the lowest common denominator.
Have they built the gulags yet?
Sticks and stones...
What makes anyone outside the US thinks they have free speech anyway?
No member of the faculty is to maltreat the “Abos” in any way whatsoever—if there’s anyone watching.
Even Poland is starting to buckle.
ACMA is a government authority, which means the government will directly control speech. The new law, if I read it correctly, will ban any speech that questions government. Any speech that questions government health orders. Any speech that does not fit the narrative of certain protected classes. Any speech that questions global warming. Any speech the government doesn’t like, basically.
Just add Australia to the list of countries that websites need to block access from, since it is easier to just block access to people from those areas than it is to comply with free speech restrictions.
Elect Trump as president and let him pull us out of the 5Eyes security pact with our new/old enemies: UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They are no longer allies nor trustworthy.
Te get an idea of who the REAL FASCISTS are, just consider that this report is coming out of Russia - Western media doesn’t consider it worth reporting, I guess.
There fixed it for RT!
They all switched to the democracy thing with Trump. WaPo, CIA’s mouthpiece, did the whole “Democracy Dies in Darkness” slogan a month after Trump’s inauguration. All the establishment politicians with close ties to defense and intelligence started using the word. The MSM and their Twitter idiots did. Etc.
It’s probably the most obvious, overt, coordinated push I’ve seen outside of one of our wars. And it’s amazing so few have caught on.
Western Media has a soft spot for Nazi Australia, because, well, they're Nazis, and they have been extremely collaborative in Get Trump Alliances and the Hillary Clinton directed False Flag Frame Up known as Russia, Russia, Russia!
You've got that exactly right, Gramps!
I remember that.
Have they built the gulags yet?

Australians cucked themselves in 1996 when they voluntarily voted for gun control and surrendered their weapons to the State.
