It’s so much worse that we thought !
To the point that Michael Shellenberger in estimates described the Digital Duty of Care Bill as the most radical censorship legislation he has ever seen.
It’s not just the sock puppet accounts but the recently uncovered sweeping spying powers.
With the IPA finding a Privacy Act change that would make the eSafety Commissioner an enforcement body able to collect sensitive information on political views, religious beliefs and sexual orientation .
Google also warned it could be forced to introduce age verification requiring scanning of all private email and data in Australia.
This is insane.

Chalmers would like acknowledgement that inflation comes from elsewhere in the world, Gallagher would like her attempts to keep costs down adequately celebrated, and Albanese would like to be anywhere in the world but here.
Everything about the situation in which Australia finds itself is wrong, wrong, and wrong again. Including the fact that the people responsible haven’t a clue how to make it right. My column.
