Misinformation Bill defeated through collective efforts, as Australians reject government control over truth

The Misinformation Bill is defeated thanks to public efforts. Despite government misinformation, the fight continues against the Social Media Bill and its potential for a stealth Digital ID.

The Misinformation Bill is dead thanks to collective and tireless efforts of Australians, and a few of their representatives in this parliament. From the moment it first appeared in 2023, I slammed this Bill, writing to the leader of the opposition to express my strongest objections. This legislation was and always has been offensive to democracy. What made the government think they could be the purveyors of truth? Just look at the Covid track record.

Pandemic misinformation exposed

We were told 15 days to slow the spread - instead we had two years of border closures and harsh lockdowns. We were told masks weren't effective, then they were, then you only had to wear them standing up, but not sitting down, madness! We were also told "If you take the vaccine, you won't get covid and you won't infect other people." More Lies!

Emails show Australian experts knew the shots didn't stop infection or transmission. Yet the vaccines were mandated anyway! The Australian Department of Home Affairs censored 4000 social media posts under the guise of 'misinformation'? Posts that turned out to be true!

Digital ID concerns

Australia's Covid Inquiry showed trust in government institutions has been decimated. Why? Because the government was the largest purveyor of misinformation over the past 4 years and the people know it! The people have spoken, and the MAD bill is dead!

Today we celebrate. But let's not rest. The Social Media Bill is set to bring about Digital ID by stealth. The Government says 'Don't worry, it's voluntary' but this government will try to make it impossible without one. They do so at their peril. The people have spoken.
