On Australia’s proposed national censorship law – TOOLKIT FOR WRITING TO YOUR SENATOR
The Australian government wants to rush through a national censorship bill.
Most Australian’s, distracted by the recent US election, disinformed and hypnotized by a smothering and lying media, do not know this is happening and certainly do not know what is in this bill.
The bill has already been rushed through the House of Representatives with a vote of 78 to 57.
It now has to pass the Senate. This is where we have to stop it. They will likely vote next week.
Below is a summary of the bill, and also an explanation of how it can, and will, be used in the public health space (their main motivation for wanting this law).
Below I discuss how they will use it to shut down public square criticism of vaccination, statins, fluoride and cancer treatment, as but four examples.
Also, I have included a list of Senators you can write to plus three draft emails/letters you can use.
This recently from the amazing Rebekah Barnett.
BREAKING: Independent senators to block misinformation bill
The Australian Government needs the support of half of the crossbench to pass its highly criticised misinformation bill, but today the government ran out of luck.
Four out of six independent senators on the crossbench have now announced their intention to oppose the bill: Senators Tammy Tyrrell, David Pocock, Jacqui Lambie and Fatima Payman. Newly independent Senator Gerard Rennick (formerly of the Liberal Party) had previously announced his intention to vote against the bill.
All these senators’ offices said they had been inundated with calls and emails expressing concerns about the bill – some said they had been contacted by thousands of people. Well done to everyone who called, emailed, or visited a senator in person.
The Coalition is opposing the bill, so even if the Greens vote with the Labor Government, Labor can’t get the bill across the line without these key crossbench votes.
It’s great news! But we can’t relax just yet.
As Senator Matt Canavan posted to X today, “Nothing is certain until the votes are tallied.” The Senate vote will take place either next week or the week after.
Senators who have come out against the bill should be thanked and encouraged, and ideally, undecided Senator Lidia Thorpe and the Greens can be convinced to vote against the bill to make it a safe win.
Let’s start with a summary.
