Thank you to @shellenberger for visiting Australia, courtesy of @TheIPA, to expose the Albanese government’s draconian digital duty of care laws which must be scrapped.
Not only is Anika Wells using the cloak of child safety to justify this assault on free speech, she was today caught out lying about sweeping powers in her bill which enable @eSafetyOffice to create fake ‘sock puppet’ accounts to track people covertly online.
As @News24Aust journalist Cameron Reddin correctly pointed out, there are no limits on the type of information which could be spread online by the government regulator using these powers.
Here is @AnikaWells brazenly lying about the fake accounts ("sock puppets") provision of the law:
She says, "Well, there is nowhere in the bill that gives the government, and by the government, in this instance, the independent regulator, that power. It's just not there."
Yes, it is there, as anyone who reads the bill can see. I'll paste it again below.

Australian net overseas migration clocks 305,000 for FY25, the 3rd highest on record and almost entirely from developing nations, new ABS figures show.
GDP per capita might have shrunk in 10 of the last 13 quarters but at least diversity is our strength.

Javier Milei (@JMilei) defied economists by clawing Argentina out of socialism using the power of free markets.
He is leaning toward America and investing heavily in traditional mining.
Adam Creighton, Senior Fellow and Chief Economist at the Institute of Public Affairs, has returned from Argentina.
We ask him if Australia's Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, can learn from the successes of Argentina? 🤔

#OPINION 🎤 It’s two cheers for the Liberal Party. The first is for finally dumping net zero. The second is for opening the door to extending the lives of our coal stations, or even investing in new ones, writes Daniel Wild.

Australians are told they’re on the path to clean energy.
But here’s a reality check.
Almost 90% of all the energy we use still comes from fossil fuels !

Chair of the misinformation inquiry had never heard of the replication problem in science, and didn't understand the premise.

Called this correctly in February, unlike basically everyone else👇
RBA cuts interest rates with underlying inflation above 3%.
Disappointing but unsurprising.
Pumping up the housing market at any opportunity inhibits prudent investment and fans the property obsession.
It won't end well.

Farmers and regional communities are uniting against large-scale renewable energy projects, with more than 150 proposals now facing organised opposition, according to new research from the Institute of Public Affairs.
Institute of Public Affairs retweeted
“Australians do not get behind net zero. We've polled them, and 79 per cent of Australians said that affordability and reliability should be the main focus of our energy policy, not net zero," says new research from the Institute of Public Affairs. The scale of opposition to large-scale renewable energy projects across regional Australia is far greater than many in the political class are willing to admit, with farmers and landholders across the country “furious about the net zero policy" and 150 proposals now facing organised opposition.
