Actually they do Every Australian government except for Pauline Hanson has refused to deal with the lack of free speech in Australia Governments have used deformation laws to silence people by ultimately causing people financial harm so as to shut them up
How do we stop politicians from privileging themselves in legislation? For example, political parties can be on the Deductible Gifts Register, yet small sporting groups can't be. They are also exempt from the do not call register. Talk about self interest! This needs to be stopped. We need more responsible people rather than party hacks in our parliament.
This bill is so abhorrent that in my view the political party submitting it is not fit for office. This vile bill, which make no mistake was designed purely to stifle any dissent relating to government , scientific decrees by various sectors and in particular the pharmaceutical industry , and indeed any corporate sector where such dissent could be seen as possibly causing financial harm to Australia. Of course the government , the academics and the scientists are exempt from the legislation . Protecting people and harm reduction is simply the sales pitch designed to obfuscate the true nature of its intent. Oh and I forgot the comedians .
And now they are using the banning of under 16s solely for their protection from harm as the means to bring in digital id for everyone to access social media. Whereas any tech-savvy kids will know how to easily get around it with the use of VPNs.

Absolutely mate. If they were serious every media individual and politician would be held to the law too. It's to silence the truth in the face of their narrative
"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation, must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." Benjamin Franklin. NO RESTRICTION on speech is acceptable to any patriotic Australian.
Thank you very much for opposing this horrendous bill David, and for your authenticity and honesty in your reasons why. I don't want it passed at all, even with significant changes, censorship against free speech is not acceptable
How can we have an honest and open debate about anything online and learn from each other's points of view if we are all terrified of stating the 'wrong' opinion?
It should be thrown out completely cause,reading the constitution this morning I could turn around and say that woman who sued Pauline Hanson should be thrown out for her remark and disrespect for the constitution she obviously doesn’t believe in. No censorship at all I seriously am glad I don’t live near people and I do not believe the Government at all after all the lies they told us during Covid. I say NO.
Thank you David. This bill is the most egregious attack on Australian citizens by our own government that I’ve ever seen. Truly horrific!! Albo and labor must be voted out next year.
Who decides what is mis and/or disinformation? Bureaucrats from The Ministry of Right-Think-Right-Speak? Open, free, discussion and debate is the way to go. it is the only way to reveal the truth and is our best protection.
✔️ For what every federal member should be doing as the minimum work in their job. You are the benchmark that our politicians and public servants should aspire to. Thanks David, we need more of your calibre.
Governments, in partnership with global corporations, have taught me to be an EXPERT in spotting disinformation, for example: "Safe and effective" "Herd Immunity" "Protects Against Disease" "Prevents Spread" "Dangerous Horse Paste" "Stay Home and Wear a Mask" "Unexplained Deaths are Normal"
Yes and no, That one is way more complicated! As someone who is into A.I. and tech and follow every bit of news on it we are going to need something for what is coming within the next few years, Need to prove you are who you say you are or you may lose everything you have to ID theft, It's reaching a point now where it can fool most people, If it gets into the wrong hands and criminal organisations use it, Could be a disaster 100x worse than some silly phone or email scam.
@@ShaneMcGrath. Not "complicated" at all, a "voluntary" Digital I D. that means if you DON'T accept it, you cannot access any Government service. That's really "Voluntary" hahahahahahaha.
Well said David. We need more independents like you in federal parliament. Vote independent it is more likely to save the country than harm it. Out the majors
When the government tries to tell us what we can and can’t say because certain individuals are offended. That government will be removed by the electorate every time. Most logical thinking people understand how important freedom of speech is to society no matter how much your feelings are hurt! Well done David
The only people who should be banned from pushing misinformation are the politicians and media who are exempt from it. You’ve no right to dictate to the people you work for. No more laws Michael, unless you are going to start making laws stopping expansion of government or making you liars accountable for selling out the people you public servants are elected to serve.
The implications are terrifying. 'Likely to cause harm' labels the poster as a criminal, and is so vague it can be used arbitrarily against anyone they don't like.
True, most of the misinformation we had to put up with over the last few years has been from the government and its cronies, and the MSM who are saying whatever the government wants them to, plus some of the medical profession who followed the government agenda.
Well said David, I am sure all Australians are concerned, Freedom of speech is our natural human right, no one, but no one have the right to silence us.
It is so wonderful to see a sensible human being who listens to all sides of the debate and makes an informed decision based upon considered reflection. This is the way it should be. I am so glad to have you representing my interests in federal parliament. What a privilege it is! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I cannot understand the lack of outrage from commentators and politicians on this most important bedrock of our society. People I talk to will never vote Labor again, nor will I
We've had many, many genuine experts over the last 200 years or so opine on this. Great philosophers and thinkers who have put very clear and concise arguments forward as to why freedom of speech, freedom of expression, the 'marketplace of ideas' and open, honest, transparent discussion of ideas and issues is the ONLY way a civilised society progresses and maintains its values. Yes, the internet is a new phenomenon, but the concept of freedom and the supporting precepts have not changed. We don't need ANY government interference when it comes to issues that the citizenry can access and discuss. I'm sorry, but this bill doesn't need 'revising' or to be met with 'alternative ideas'; it needs to be scrapped entirely and individuals should be left to make up their own minds as to what information is both suitable for them and which makes a compelling case for the truth. One thing we know for certain, the government is the absolute last choice any sane person would make to be an authority in determining the verisimilitude of ANY information. Their track record on this is woeful.
here is one for you.... how do you & i know that "they" (our gov) do cyber hacking to introduce new laws?.... create the issue "oh we had no choice.. you want to be protected right?"... just saying
The feed back to those senators who vote for a bill like this will be damaging to their next election ambition, everyone can have an opinion, government should not get involved in how we express our opinions , we may not always agree, but we will have opinions and they can’t be criminalised in any way , that’s a basic freedom
Seriously Dave, freedom loving Aussies, which I assume and/ or hope is the overwhelming majority, want to to crush this bill and never want it to raise its head again.
Yes, dump the bill AND make any other such legislation illegal ! CALL THE PEOPLE TO USE THEIR RIGHT TO STRIKE ACTION TO FORCE THE HAND OF ANYONE ACTING AGAINST A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.
Excellent, more sunlight not less. When you do this, the truth will always come out and the people that try and control information never have the truth on their side.
I'm not your biggest supporter, but on this decision I'm behind you. But no changes, there are always going to be gooses but they come out in the wash, like flat earthers and they can be a funny source of entertainment.
