Thankfully this MAD bill has been stopped: 38 senators for, 38 against - that's not to say they will continue to try to push through this sort of things - but thanks for pointing this out to your readers! This was/is a close call - Australia needs a change of government!
Thanks for this detailed post. The most insidious aspect of this vile “legislation” is that it would coerce people to SELF censor on social media. just as we saw during covid, the average person for an extended period almost too scared to speak for fear of being condemned, verbally attacked and ridiculed by all the “experts” around then who’d just had their 5th covid shot because they’d had their 7th bout of covid and were grateful their third booster had ensured their symptoms were “mild”. Australia is going to hell in a handcart anyway, but this legislation would be fuel to the fire.
As if dust, dingos, and flies weren't bad enough, we have another reason to never visit Australia, and that suits me to the T. No surprise here, the Commonwealth countries are the epitome of tyranny.
Start with the WEF’s “Global Coalition for Digital Safety” and the UN’s “Our Common Agenda Policy Brief 8” … these date back to 2023, just prior to this Bill first airing for public comment. The likes of our eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, are deeply embedded in the WEF, UN etc and the cabal of so-called “cyber safety experts” who are desperate to ensure that independent voices are eliminated from the public square on social media. ACMA are the facilitators of this … Stasi-like bureaucrats spending government money to “keep us all safe” by ensuring the public get no exposure to real information.
I've recently written 3 articles available from my substack link below in regards the above discussed and disgusting legislation about which yourself and anyone else has my permission to use all or any part of the articles to share with polys or others freely.
"Our list of retracted or withdrawn COVID-19 papers is up past 400. There are more than 50,000 retractions in The Retraction Watch Database — which is now part of Crossref. The Retraction Watch Hijacked Journal Checker now contains more than 300 titles. And have you seen our leaderboard of authors with the most retractions lately — or our list of top 10 most highly cited retracted papers? What about The Retraction Watch Mass Resignations List — or our list of nearly 100 papers with evidence they were written by ChatGPT?"

Again… who is going to be the arbiter of the truth… THE GOVERNMENT!
Says everything!
If the Covid thing did not wake up people nothing else will.
You know Adriana, sadly I think there are still many who are asleep.
But you are right.

Who are the sponsors of this 'Bill'? Whomever it is they need to be indicted on charges of treason and crimes against humanity.

Did you see the bit about “Australian end users”? Does this mean they could extend their reach to internet users outside their borders?
To Unbekoming.

So if this piece of Orwellian dystopia passes, what do we do then?
I’ve signed petitions a plenty.
We need to start protests.
The biggest spreader of misinformation during the (fake) Covid plandemic was the government.
Simply awful!
