Senator Ralph Babet will today call on the Senate to launch an inquiry into the sweeping powers exercised by Australia’s eSafety Commissioner.
In a motion to be moved in the Senate, Senator Babet will seek to refer the Internet Search Engine Services Online Safety Code to the Environment and Communications References Committee for inquiry and report.
The code which will soon come into effect will require all account holders of search engines, such as Google and Bing, to submit to age assurance measures. This could include providing government issued ID, biometric facial scans or other invasive forms of identification.
“If my motion is successful, the eSafety Commissioner and big tech companies will be required to front up and give evidence. They will be held to account,” Senator Babet said.
Senator Babet is sounding the alarm on what he describes as a dangerous concentration of authority in the hands of an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy.
“No one voted for the eSafety Commissioner, yet she wields extraordinary control over what Australians can see, say, and hear online, without any meaningful Parliamentary oversight.
“Free speech is not a ‘safety risk’, it’s a democratic right. And I will not stand by while those rights are trampled.”
Senator Babet has accused the Albanese Labor Government of standing by and allowing the expansion of a digital surveillance state dressed up as child protection.
“Bureaucrats shouldn’t be making the rules without being answerable to Parliament. But that’s exactly what this Labor Government is allowing.
“We are seeing similar laws being used in the UK to curtail public access to information online as well as freedom of the press.
“This inquiry is about protecting Australians from digital overreach, invasion of their privacy and loss of their civil liberties. It’s time to put a stop to unaccountable censorship and restore proper checks and balances,” Senator Babet said.

You can see it’s the thin end of the wedge by the bullshit dribbling off Elbow’s lips. They had a chance 20 years ago to prevent kids from going on porno sites, there was talk of using a restricted .xxx domain, but politicians pooh-poohed the idea.
Now when the Globalists tell them it’s time to start the surveillance, they don’t even have to ask how high to jump because it’s Gates pulling the string.
This is a must read and watch.. it is happening world wide. Australia is lock step with other countries doing this and it has nothing to do with the safety of children !!!! It is mass surveillance.. and to stop the spread of truth.

A reason governments want control over what citizens
can see / learn via the internet is, genocides and mass starvation can be carried out without any of us learning anything about them… And it’s all being censored “To Protect The Children” !
Governments set up (Public Health) bodies whom they give wide power to make regulations. These bodies implement, based on ‘expert’ advice, lockdowns etc… The government refuses the blame for lockdown decisions – effective rule by ‘experts’ and bureaucrats…
The regulations by such bodies, as we learned from the
‘covid’ fear campaign, cannot be legally challenged, and
effectively, as ‘experts’ have no political oversight…
Effective rule by ‘experts’ and bureaucrats…
“We must compel the governments of the GOYIM to take action in the direction favored by our widely conceived plan, already approaching the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as public opinion, secretly promoted by us through the means of that so-called “Great Power” – THE PRESS, WHICH, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS THAT MAY BE DISREGARDED, IS ALREADY ENTIRELY IN OUR HANDS”.
“In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the Press. The part played by the Press is to keep pointing our requirements supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the GOYIM States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press we have got the GOLD in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand GOYIM”
