#AUStriches will soon have mis- and disinformation legislation foisted upon them. That’s what all the eKaren stuff is really about - ensuring Gov can enforce this against platforms.
Take a look at what they want to control: 
Discussion
So loosely worded smh, obviously intentional for the purpose of in-the-moment interpretation as they see fit
The breadth of it is nuts, they’ve basically encompassed all online discourse and made it vague as possible.
Point (f) is the one I think they most want - no more telling people about #Bitcoin or the collapse of fiat, no encouraging people to withdraw cash or run the banks, no boycotts, no discussion of cost blowouts of major projects. Just shut up and take everything that Gov wants to do.
It's sad how far we've fallen. Australia was once a beacon for human rights.
It is sad. I no longer recognise the country I grew up in, it feels alien.
Soooo all governments will be rounded up and jailed.. I mean "economically harmed Australians"..
C19
Lockdowns
Helicopter $$$$
Inflation..
Will be interesting to see this tested in court.
I'm still hopeful some judge will tape an "actual malice" test on the top, but I'm prepared to be disappointed...
Glad you’re prepared for disappointment. I don’t see any hope in Aussie courts - they’re mere rubber stamps for Government nowadays.
Isnt the Central Bank already doing f) or dont apply to their own institutions?
Yes they are; this legislation simply means we won’t be allowed to talk about it online.
It doesn’t apply to Gov and their institutions so they can say whatever they want, but you’ll be sent to the gulag if you go against their narrative.
Sad
Did they just make it illegal to have a recession?
They did that 30 years ago already.
Aus was the “best performing” OECD nation after 2008 GFC because we had plenty of headroom to print, Gov debt is relatively low. We haven’t really had a recession since early 90s.
We’re second behind Norway in private debt levels.
