BREAKING: Anthony Albanese’s “digital duty of care bill”, is now even stricter than originally proposed, effectively destroying online free speech in Australia. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant just signaled that Labor’s upcoming Digital Duty of Care bill is going to be even stricter than first thought, threatening massive penalties that will effectively destroy the free speech online community in Australia. Under the Albanese government, we are rapidly moving toward a reality where you can no longer criticize him or his administration. This is an absolute outrage. Look at what’s happening behind the scenes: Moving the Goalposts: Grant is pushing to amend the bill at the last minute to add “enforceable baseline obligations” making the legislation far more aggressive than the original draft. Tougher Penalties & Policing: Communications Minister Anika Wells is openly urging the Coalition to join them in making these online safety laws “even tougher” Rushed Legislation: Labor is desperately racing to ram this heavily bolstered bill through parliament with only one sitting fortnight left in the year. This isn't about safety anymore, its a reckless attack on your right to speak freely online. Australians are being locked out of their own digital public square so Labor can govern without criticism. This is outrageous.
