Australia's eSafety website claims to be the “world's first government agency dedicated to keeping people safe online”; giving people incapable of looking after themselves “a more positive online experience”.

Another “first” that some politicians love to crow about.

The head censor is American-born Julie Inman Grant, who has well and truly over-reached by thinking that an Australian public servant can dictate, on Australian taxpayer dollars, what a global organisation - X - can or cannot do.

Our new Big Sister is very keen to be part of a global attack on freedom of speech and association down the track, though. She is at work with a group calling itself ‘Global Online Safety Regulators Network’, made up of countries such as, Australia, France, Ireland, South Africa, Korea,UK, and Fiji ( ! ).

Big Sister (Inman Grant) has bragged to that fine bastion of democracy , the World Economic Forum, that “We have a big stick” that can be used to regulate in ways that “they don’t want to be regulated”.

Disgustingly, Big Sister used to work for Twitter, where she actually campaigned AGAINST what she is doing now. Perhaps her next move will be to Communist China.

The content that an Australian court fell over itself to take down while Sis winds up, is still on Facebook, making this look like a personal war against Elon Musk.

Big Sister and Albanese are out to remove our basic rights, as part of the latter’s vow to ‘change Australia’.

She's now gotten herself the nickname eKaren.
(She isn't going to be able to live that one down, it's going to stick)
- There's even a song written for her already.
You can find the link to the song (first link at the top) and some other funny memes in my last comment on the main forum.

Dear Ttbn,

«Big Sister and Albanese are out to remove our basic rights»

As long as you think of your natural freedoms as "rights", those who gave you these rights have every right to take them back.

Your God-given freedoms, only God can take back!

"The content that an Australian court fell over itself to take down while Sis winds up, is still on Facebook, making this look like a personal war against Elon Musk."

Interesting that she apparently used to work for Twitter previously.
Maybe she was part of a team controlling the information there on the governments behalf prior to Elon Musks purchase, and afterwards formed this 'Global Online Safety Regulators Network' to counter Twitters move towards more free and fairer speech policies and have greater control over content viewers / citizens can share and access.

I was pleased to see somewhere the eCommissar described as an eKaren. Somewhat insulting, but we are - or should be - fighting for freedom of speech here. And this woman, and the two main political parties are our enemies. The gloves need to be off. The small parties and independents need to start really hammering this totalitarianism, and showing Australians they they are worth voting for.

Dutton supports Labor’s censorship binge. The Liberals are unelectable. Both parties had a considerable drop in their primary votes. Labor is predicted to be in a minority, reliant on the Greens.

It's time for Australian voters to hit the red button.

Benjamin Franklin: "In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scare call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by SUBDUING THE FREENESS OF SPEECH".

The CEO of Rumble says that he is getting increasing demands for censorship from authorities in Australia and New Zealand. He has noticed a dramatic increase in global censorship. (Epoch Times)

Further, Big Sister is reported as saying that, “If they fail to remove the content, then we can go to search engines such as Google or Bing to really minimise the amount of content that Australians can see”. The woman is actually threatening to MINIMISE WHAT WE CAN SEE.

Can this really be happening outside of Communist China and other totalitarian countries!

Perhaps Australia is already totalitarian, and we just haven't woken up to it yet. Perhaps that's why the government doesn't think it's worthwhile attending to Australia's defence. Perhaps they have other plans.

I don't use X myself, but apparently Musk tweeted that, “The recent attacks in Australia are a horrific assault on free society. Our condolences go out to those who have been affected, and we stand with the Australian people in calling for those responsible to be brought to justice”.

Amazingly, one of Albanese’s henchmen in my own state, the Health Minister, Mark Butler, said that the government would not be bullied by Mr Musk or any other tech billionaire.

I think we all know who the real bullies are, thank you very much Mr. Butler: your government and your esafety Commissar. You are the ones trying to tell 26 million people what they can say and what they can read or watch. How bloody dare you!

Albanese squeals about “the dangerous implications that can occur when things that are simply not true” (are broadcast).

Well, that didn't worry him when things that were definitely not true were bandied about during Covid.

At the beginning of this year Julie Inman Grant was described as the “most dangerous woman” to turn up at Davos (WEF); one who creates a “moral panic” for her to solve a non-existent problem, at a cost of $51.2 million p.a to Australian taxpayers.
