Australia’s Wild, Draconian New Speech Law Targeting ‘Misinformation’
Posted by freedomforall 3 months, 1 week ago to Politics
Excerpt:
"Australia and New Zealand are, with the possible exception of Canada, the furthest down the totalitarian rabbit hole of all Western nations.
I have no idea what made these people so docile in the face of brutal government overreach, but I assume it has to have something to do with the relative peace and security on the continent over the years.
As if they weren’t put-upon enough, “misinformation” on social media is now defined and banned in Australia’s legal canon.
Via Crypto Slate (emphasis added):
“Australia’s Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 continues to ignite heated debate, with critics arguing that the bill risks stifling free speech.
The proposed bill, which targets misinformation related to elections, public health, and critical infrastructure, requires tech companies to establish codes of conduct.
Platforms failing to self-regulate will face standards imposed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which would oversee enforcement. This could include fines of up to 5% of total global revenue for platforms that fail to comply with the new rules.
However, free speech advocates warn that this could have a chilling effect on legitimate public discourse and potentially limit people’s ability to criticize public institutions.”"

Whenever I a claim of something being 'mis/dis-info', I immediately remember my preferred definition:
Misinformation is not necessarily FALSE info [or they would just call it that!] Misinfo is something THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HEAR!
those in power

During the Eighties Crocodile Dundee in a sequel was using a rifle back home in Australia.
Times change.
Times have also been changing D.E.I. for the Yoke of the WOKE having women not knowing what women are right here.
Hey, groomed boys and girls, go strip and look at a full length mirror to see what you really are!

When I lived in Oz for a couple years, I was constantly having to explain the real reason for the 2nd amendment.
Aussies are completely brainwashed against firearms.
Many are perfectly happy to be dependent on government 'experts.'
it appears to be a significant majority who oppose firearm ownership except for
ownership by armed government agents.
with harris, either civil war or slavery. WW3 likely. economic collapse assured
They're docile, and have no defense against government overreach.
That's why they're so far down the totalitarian rabbit hole.
Any "Crocodile Dundee" culture has been expunged.
