This bill is long overdue, Voice to Parliament is losing popularity because of the conspiracy theories

"Conspiracy Theory" is both a Neuro-Linguistic programming buzzword - and a thought-terminating cliché. It's the first resort of the Spook State, and the OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD media - when Covert Operations start losing their plausible deniability and/or operational cover...the last resort is censorship.

So the Australian government went so over the top with aggressive and brutal authoritarianism during the COVID scaredemic that the average citizen has finally been jarred awake. Thus going with full bore censorship and creating 'enemies of the people' lists is the natural solution for fixing the 'image' problem and keeping all of the unarmed serfs firmly under their government feet? Nice!

End of free speech down under...

Pretty much, yes.

Sorry for the late comment but I have changed my position on the misinformation bill.

I have done further research this week and have found that free speech could end in Australia if the misinformation bill passes. I've made an updated meme of this meme and you're more than welcome to debate as long as you debate in a civil matter

Even Australian academics are saying that Albanese's bill could destroy free speech (and that's where I got my research from)

"So the Australian government went so over the top with aggressive and brutal authoritarianism during the COVID scaredemic that the average citizen has finally been jarred awake."

What authoritarianism? Yes people didn't like lockdowns but lockdowns were a difficult decision that had to be made. But once vaccines came, there's no point in lockdowns anymore.

"Thus going with full bore censorship and creating 'enemies of the people' lists is the natural solution for fixing the 'image' problem and keeping all of the unarmed serfs firmly under their government feet? Nice!"

I mean people can still spread conspiracies face-to-face once the bill passes. I doubt the government would monitor conspiracies on phone calls either, they'd only step in for national security reasons.

Stepping in for national security reasons... LOL

Your first clue...
