PETER Dutton and the Coalition will oppose the Labor/Greens/Teal misinformation laws, according to the conservative political action group Advance Australia, who were major players in the anti-Voice campaign.
The decision is a major back-down by Dutton, who, as we reported earlier this year, spoke in favour of the Bill, prompting broadcaster Alan Jones to comment: “Well, there you have it. The Uni-party. We are screwed.”
Dutton’s statement on the ABC’s Insiders program might have been a matter of him playing politics in front of the Canberra media elite, who are, of course, in favour of the censorship Bill because it supports their privileged position as official arbiters of truth.
The significance of this decision by the Coalition however, cannot be brushed off as just politics, because the so-called “global community” is pushing online censorship. Its supporters include Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, the World Economic Forum, UK PM Starmer and the European Union. Starmer is already jailing people for “racist” Facebook posts.
Advance spokeswoman Sandra Bourke said in an email to supporters that the “attack on free speech has been in the works for years. With your support, Advance launched its Ministry of Truth campaign against these laws in July, 2023 and we’ve been piling on the pressure ever since.
“These laws have been on the woke agenda for a long time and they’re not dead yet. Albo has been working on them since he became PM. Last year, he put out a version which was bucketed by 20,000 Australians who opposed them in submissions to the Parliament.
“Almost 50,000 Australians signed the Advance petition to Australia’s federal MPs to oppose them.
The PM was forced back to the drawing board and now the misinformation laws are back with a Ministry of Truth that would be worse than ever,” said Ms Bourke.
“These laws would give social media companies a big financial incentive to censor mainstream Australians. If Labor decides that they have not censored enough ‘misinformation’, companies like Facebook can face massive fines, and who decides what is ‘misinformation’?”
“Not you and me, that’s for sure. The government will get to decide what’s “true” and what’s not and get this, you’re exempt from the laws if you are an ‘academic’ or a ‘scientist’ or if you work in the creation of ‘professional news content’. You guessed it, more elitist ‘us versus them’ laws.”
So journalists working for the mainstream media or an academic or scientist working at a university can say whatever they want, says Mr Bourke. “And they could never be accused of ‘misinformation’ but if you criticise them, you could be guilty of ‘misinformation’.”
Ms Bourke went on to say that the Coalition’s communications spokesman David Coleman was right in describing the legislation as “rotten to the core”. “This is a terrible piece of legislation – it should not have been put forward by this government,” Coleman told Sky News last week.
“Peter Dutton and the Coalition should be commended for their strong opposition to these laws. It’s big news and we should welcome it. Why? Because it means you are now one step closer to defeating this attack on our freedom,” said Ms Bourke.
Bourke was to speak at the 2024 Environment & Energy Forum in Chris Bowen’s seat of McMahon over this weekend.
If it weren’t for the social media these last four years, don’t know how otherwise real proper information would have been able to circulate … in fact censorship started going genocide of freedom of speech mode pretty much soon after the start of the charade of the poop-demic. With people that had to chuck in ‘typos’ so that those embarrassments of AIs didn’t recognized words and set of words.
Fb still practices censorship through AI. When I do a refresh, all of the sudden my post can be read only if one goes onto my timeline …
Anyway, kids not allowed to have a social media account … fair enough, but to deny them access all together, is only a disturbance to the new world order agenda of ‘indoctrination’.
First they want to kill your kids, then they want to ‘educate’ them. Keep your hands off mfks. Especially when during the illegal lockdowns, how many parents, teachers, professors, educational systems … have even thought about preparing some school work for these kids? They all restarted school minus three months of education and of course, got put to pass to the next year … okky dokky fkin wow. And let’s leave it at that for the time being.
Parents need to take that phone off the hands of the kids and put in them a ‘black and white’ nokia instead… kids do not need a constant access to internet. Kids do not need to have their brain functions such as creativity and imagination ruined permanently cause of the continuous flooding of images and sentences of a size of a text message, cause now you have five years old kids, that got no idea what to do with a blank piece of paper and a box of crayons.
So parents it is time to grow up and start giving good example at home, not by forcing the very necessary changes, but by starting doing so yourselves.
… Food for thought.

Yes they will do as they are told when they are told when those who are smarter than them judge the time is right and like cheap salesmen they will smile and wave their arms around if necessary throw in a bag of peanuts. All with the aim of swindling us into giving them our money to throw into their bottomless pit. Those whom the politicians represent already have most of the world’s gold in holes in the Swiss Alps but they need more, they already have huge estates but they need more, they have all the Lear jets and servants but they need more, I can’t explain why it feels better in a Rolls-Royce when you are stuck in traffic, or why a truffle is better than a mushroom, it all depends most on what is going on between your ears, now they want to take that over as well. All these people have run out of useful tricks, technocracy is a dead end, basically a death factory.
Dutton tabled the asio amendment 2020 bill. A fascist act as per the globalist agenda. He was the first one to start the roll out of all the new fascist laws in the covid era, just like the mis/disinformation act and all the other ones when Liberal where in power. I doubt he will do anything when he gets in other than further the 1WO globalist plans because he is one of them as proven by his record. Lib/Lab= 1WO
Joe Bogan: you will know that candidates are not in contract until sworn in, and that their promises are not legally enforceable because of this.
So the challenge for Dutton would be to put in writing, signed, sealed and delivered, that the repeal will take place, post election.
Otherwise that one is just another empty, unenforceable “promise”.
I rang his office last week about the nuclear issue and may have to phone him again.
Issue was modular nuclear, as in:
https://www.ted.com/talks/taylor_wilson_my_radical_plan_for_small_nuclear_fission_reactors?subtitle=en
The nuclear submarines have been operating, on modular nuclear,since the 1960s without incident.
So what are we waiting for?
Only reason the LNP is pushing back on the Misinfo Bill is they are not as stupid as they appear. They realize the first political party to legislate the Bill while in power will stay in power forever.
Just an election ploy – they are both sides of the same coin. I am not voting for either.
And the US is having a few problems trying to shut down RT News… Seems like a lot of countries can see the hypocrisy.. well those that have some brains that is.

A paedo standing up for us all . Who would have thought. It just keeps getting weirder by the day.
Yes “we will repeal” sounds a lot like “we will flip” in fact the chance they will repeal is very small unless we do something they hate, may I suggest THE GREAT WALKOUT which I am now promoting, walk out of medical legal and financial services, all of them, as soon as possible and as much as possible, disengage and stop funding them, THEY WILL HATE IT

My Digital ID Bill video is relevant to the misinformation bill in exactly the same way(s), those being:
-breach of contract-the constitution is a legally and lawfully binding contract between the people and the government, effective contractual obligations being that the government of the day act to ensure : “…peace , order and good government …” are what it delivers to the people;
https://rumble.com/v452i3u-digital-id-bill-2024-is-this-an-unlawfull-government-social-engineering-pro.html
Secondly: the Members must act on the best interests of their constituents-this is a contractual obligation.
Thirdly: like your local councils, the corporate government, I maintain, is similarly to councils, subject to the Australian Consumer Law, because near all government departments, state and federal, operate under ABNs and are therefore businesses.
Even centrelink calls its clients “customers!”
If you’re a bit switched on you will see the implications, as in the feds commercial relationship with Facebook, a story I gave this publication:
https://cairnsnews.org/2022/07/26/aussie-feds-have-secrecy-deal-with-cia-offshoot-fakebook/
Got it?
Is it crazy wishful thinking to imagine that some of the players behind these provocations might be trying to produce a situation where democracy becomes a viable way for countries to be governed? With the emphasis on “some” probably a very small eccentric minority.
It will happen eventually, it’s not coming from elbow, it’s MUCH bigger than that.
If at least 50% of aussies were arrested ,it would be an impossibility to jail all of them in the cvd camps.
Impossible.
But that can’t happen, most don’t give a rats arse, totally brainwashed, useless eaters..
Pat from Vic, I liked that lol!
The author quoted Ms Bourke – “… Peter Dutton and the Coalition should be commended for their strong opposition to these laws. It’s big news and we should welcome it…”
I call BS, and will continue to do so UNLESS and UNTIL the AnAL Regime’s 1984 Bill is utterly SQUASHED and DESTROYED and REPUDIATED in perpetuity.
And even then, I wouldn’t trust the likes of Lurch or ANY of his ilk any further than I could drop-kick the TREASONOUS sold-out lying scheming two-faced bastard on an asphalt car park.
Because they’re ALL on Klaus Schwab’s and creepy Bill’s payroll, and that’s who they’re working for, NOT US, and they already have their GLOBALIST INSTRUCTIONS mapped out for them for at least the NEXT DECADE.
And if any of these low-life scum have visions of somehow gratuitously redeeming themselves to fortuitously avoid the NOOSE, let’s see them RESTORE THEIR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS from the premeditated, systematic and ENTHUSIASTICALLY inflicted LIFELONG INJURIES, MASSIVE ECONOMIC RUIN AND EARLY GRAVES.
