Don’t forget to make a submission against the Australian Government’s latest proposed censorship bill.

I’m being lazy. Jo promised to give us a draft of a letter to our pollies. I’ll do a cut-and-paste.

Incidentally, I am not clear and it is not stated whether the current call for submissions overrides previous submissions on the same topic from March 2024.
If you have already submitted previously, it might be an idea to resubmit your previous submission and also perhaps add an additional one.

Perhaps BBC Verify could try a quick Google as their climate activist reporters can’t be bothered. Europe floods because climate:-

“In many places in Poland a great flood, caused by incessant rain in August, has drowned the crops, herds and draught animals.” – the year 1368 in the Annals of Jan Dlugosz
“Polish researchers examining medieval sources have discovered that the country was hit by flooding 166 times between the 11th and 15th centuries…”

Warmists are “staticists” in the Aristotlean tradition and don’t believe the earth or it’s variable star sun ever changes.
The idea that the earth and universe is static is a very primitive one and articulated by Aristotle in “In the Heavens” 350BCE.

Australia’s chief censorship official, the Liberal appointed e Safety Kommissar, speaks at the WEF about how free speech needs to be “recalibrated”.
Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/h96g176WnqY
She used to be a censor at Twitter (director of public policy in Australia and south-east Asia) before Elon Musk bought it and made it into a free speech platform (but she still tries to censor Twitter with Australian Government “take down” orders).
As a member of the thinking community, I find it offensive and disturbing to think that someone else wants to control what opinions I read or say. I would never try to censor someone else whose opinions I disagree with. But Leftists openly do it to thinking people.
It will get MUCH worse under Australia’s new proposed censorship laws.
I can see free speech platforms like X/Twitter being banned in Australia or being rendered inaccessible by their owners due to heavy censorship fines. This has already happened in Brazil with X.
And it will also cause a shut down of sites like Jo’s. You won’t be able to read opinions that differ from the Official Narrative.
See my previous submission against the last version of the censorship bill.

Scary stuff. I never imagined that this could happen in Australia.

Australia’s chief censorship official is to recalibrate ‘Free Speech’ from “If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” to “If liberalism means anything at all it means the authority to tell people what they can do, say and hear”

British website Expose warns about an Australian Approved Vaccine Which Kills The Unvaccinated
A vaccine for smallpox called ACAM2000, and now recommended for monkeypox, which was approved in Australia in 2009, can infect the vaccinated with the pox and cause death to the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated if they get infected by the vaccinated: https://expose-news.com/2024/09/24/mpox-vaccine-can-kill-the-unvaccinated

Such information will soon be censored in Australia of the censorship legislation passes.

Fake US election update.
‘Early’ voting has already started in many states.
Hmm … just wondering … where do the ballots go after they’re collected ‘early’.
Who has possession of them?
Are they in a safe?
A Save Our Democracy bank?
Who has access to the ‘early’ votes?
Are there 24 hour shifts of pairs of Democrat and Republican early vote guards*making sure that the other guards the votes?
Until November?
(In my city, we don’t even a full contingent of police much less vote guards.)
*(Don’t drink the coffee the Democrat guard brings you.)
This is a joke.
Made possible by the Magnificent Media Lying Machine that’s keeps the public ignorant across the world.
Get your 8th booster before the oceans boil away.
Oh dear, I guess I’m ‘harming’ public confidence in government.
Which is looking like will be a crime in both our countries next year.
Which is another joke,
How can you ‘harm’ something that is nonexistent.

Does very early voting tend to happen in blue states or free states?
Also, surely such very early voting is a historical anomoly from the times when communication was via horseback and it should be removed?
Here is an article about the history of early voting, albeit from a Leftist source so read with caution:

More election rigging.

Four years and we still can’t be told how many FBI agents participated*.
Seems we know … finally.
(We also can’t seem to find that pesky pipe bomber.
But we can put trespassing grandmas in jail.)
No public disclosure until after the election.
‘Cause secrets.
*The fact that they won’t tell means there were lots.

A good discussion from 4 months ago about Australia’s proposed censorship legislation.

Elon Musk Tweeted an excerpt from a speech from the President of El Salvador. It appears he is addressing the despots at the UN.
It puts Australia and its proposed censorship laws to shame.

Another question about Australia’s proposed censorship legislation….
What happens to all the existing social media posts, including on this site, which the e Safety Commissar deems should be censored?
Will they all be stricken from the historical record?

Can one of the resident Leftists (you know who you are) please explain to me why you think you have a right to control the opinions I read or write?
