Biko Konstantinos has done a fantastic expose of PM Albanese's awful censorship laws that are up for voting in the Senate on 18 November 2024. He points out how these laws could actually stop you from even criticising the banks! "It will create a caste system for free speech." Legacy media and the government will be allowed to lie, but you will risk huge fines if the law goes after you. "We need to make George Orwell's 1984 fiction again," as one of Elon Musk's tee-shirts says. Biko also does fantastic videos about our corrupt housing system.

Adam Bant's amendment to the Misinformation Bill not agreed to
Adam Bandt's suggested amendment calling for the bill to apply to disinformation in the Murdoch media was severely voted down by the government and the Nationals and multiple independents, including Jodie Belyea, labor MP for Dunkley, on 7 November 2023 see Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 . Below is Adam Bandt's suggested amendment.
Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 (Amendment to motion for second reading to be moved by Mr Bandt) That all words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: “whilst not declining to give the Bill a second reading, the House: (1) (2) (3) notes this bill is still before Senate inquiry; notes the proposed legislation does not address the powerful, unchecked role that the Murdoch media empire plays in spreading mis- and disinformation in our democracy; and calls on the government to tackle mis- and disinformation spread by the Murdoch media”.
