I break down the contents of the government’s proposed Misinformation and Disinformation (MAD) Bill and see it for exactly what it is – a censorship regime that would make George Orwell blush.

I believe the two major parties are the same party, some wear red the others wear blue. I am told this was a blue policy. I am led to believe a number of other policies were blue, now red. We need people like yourself in parliament
Malcolm,
I’m pretty sure that Scott Morrison originated the Censorship Bill and Labor ran with it on the baton change. There does not appear to be a great difference between the Coalition and Labor. Thank God, in the end Dutton opposed ‘The Voice’ and Coalition policy on Immigration and energy generation is better. In Qld the difference between Labor and LNP is even less. The main difference is that Crisafulli has a better policy on Juvenile Crime. Crisafulli was on board for ‘The Voice’ and ‘Treaty’. The duopoly that is Labor/Coalition, appears to give us a choice, but is that choice real or just mainly smoke and mirrors. Being a conservative, I think that the Coalition is a better proposition than Labor. At least the Coalition don’t have anything to do with the feckless Teals and the rabid Greens.

Malcolm, excellent presentation. Is email acceptable – or do you recommend postal mail to get the message across to the local member? And what if the local member is from the Greens!?
To lodge an objection to this BILL it was DIFFICULT. I hold 3 degrees and yet had to get my IT guy on board to then find the lodgement site was “under repair”!
Perseverance and lodged the objection a couple of days later.
