Misinformation Disinformation Bill
Deceptively cast as a weapon in the war against fake news, this Bill is a Trojan horse designed to give faceless bureaucrats unprecedented power over your speech. It is potentially a government-appointed “Ministry of Truth”, granting power and authority to unelected officials to control public discourse, including and especially on issues of faith, family, and biblical values such as gender and traditional marriage. This is a scenario where digital platforms are compelled to censor your views, simply because they don’t align with the government's narrative. The potential dangers for Australians, and particularly Christians, are troubling to say the least.
There is currently a Senate Inquiry into the Bill due to some key voices in the Coalition, including Senator Matt Canavan and Senator Alex Antic.
