The mask is OFF. 🇧🇷 Hours after being re-selected, Lula’s first move: “We’re going to have to regulate the social media platforms." TRANSLATION: he’s coming for your free speech. This is what a tyrant sounds like. Once a commie, always a commie.

Senator Faruqi spoke out about the staggering volume of online hate, threats, and harassment she receives. She said she had a man charged this week for harassment.

Mal is an awful human being, inciting hatred against Hansen for no reason other than political reasons
Hanson hits back at AFP chiefs claims as MP’s urged to sign civility pledge. SMH Hanson is wrong, drug affected people with mental health problems see cartoons as possible actions to take. Our society does not want violence glorified.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been accused of misleading parliament over $6 million in funding for the Marrickville Golf Club after his claims were flatly contradicted by the Department of Infrastructure. news24.com.au/politics/austr…

Join the call for journalists to be unbiased again Reject the government pay cheques Investigate, question, uncover Reject the government talking points
Join the call for Australia’s media companies to stand together by refusing to cover One Nation events until the access issue is resolved. Media companies should be insisting that One Nation accepts the attendance of ALL accredited journalists, not just the ones it perceives as unquestioning or supportive. We need a robust liberal democracy ... not a Trumpian perversion. abcfriends.au/actions/boycot…

The government passed hate speech laws, but people calling for ‘war’ and the death of Hansen never get charged.

Your government has a detailed daily plan to denigrate your political opponents, name calling, false accusations, hate speech.
In case you missed it, I delivered the Joan Kirner Social Justice Oration at the State Library Victoria on the topic ‘The Anger Machine: Rebuilding Community in the Age of Outrage’. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/4jJ…

I assume you KNOW the election was free and fair? Right?
Lula has won a fourth term in spite of Meta, after Brazil’s electoral court had to order platforms to stop throttling his reach while they boosted his Trump-backed opponent. Big Tech tried to rig this but the Brazilian people had the final say ✊

They will change their position More lies
We’re fixing the funding of public schools and tying it to reform. We have now signed long-term agreements with every state and territory, with Victoria signing up last week. We also know our schools need a digital detox. This will be on the agenda when Education Ministers meet next week.

@AlboMP does it again. In Parliament today, supposedly leading the tributes to @helenhainesindi, who he tried to smear with his ‘dirt file’, he says ‘we shouldn’t rush to conclusions’ and then does precisely that. Blaming social media for the distortion and corrosion of our public discourse that his utter lack of leadership, woke policy agenda and outright dishonesty have caused. Shameful.

BREAKING: A Sri Lankan transgender far left activist avoids jail after bombing a toilet at Melbourne’s Land Forces defence expo. Malith Shamera Fernando, 25, of Blackburn, detonated a homemade incendiary device in the male toilets at the Melbourne Convention Centre on 12 Sept 2024, while people were in nearby cubicles. It created a small fire and $4,600 damage. He scoped the venue the day before using his engineer ticket. Police found 28 more homemade devices at his home, plus cannabis trafficking, ketamine and other drugs. Protest material about “Free Palestine” and “disrupt Melbourne” was also recovered. He pleaded guilty. The prosecution demanded jail but soft on migrant crime Magistrate Donna Bakos gave him a Community Corrections Order, therapy and drug programs, and told him to pay the $4,600. Why he avoided jail time? Because prison would be “more onerous” due to his mental health diagnoses and gender status. So a biological male who planted a bomb at a defence expo, stockpiled more explosives, and dealt drugs walks free, because the judge decided jail might be too hard for him. Two tier justice on full display.

We had the Labor party sit in the house of reps slagging off Australians as "violent" "needy" "abusive" "demanding" and all the other insults they had today. We were all to blame for that leftist nutter who mowed down Haines. Not once did they blame the culprit. Instead they all sat there, waving their fingers at hard working Australians. How dare we contact our local members with some harsh advice. We will just shut our mouths, pay our taxes and let you lot piss it up the wall. No dramas. You pack of putrid grubs.

Watching a migrant school David Speers on preserving Australian culture is the best thing you’ll see all day. Still can’t believe the ABC let him speak.

The more they try to portray an image that they are people of good, humble, honest and reliable character the less I trust or believe them.
