Claim comes despite draft of bill explaining media regulator will not be empowered to request specific content be removed from digital platforms
Classic self report.
“Oh no what would we do without more Christian spam?”
Please keep your religions to yourself, people.
But if we can’t lie how will we express our opinions? Won’t someone think of the misinformation peddlers?
I love when people do this
“You cant make it harder to deal with misinformation! it’ll destroy us!”
if you are destroyed by truth, and by fact checking… You deserve to be destroyed.
“But if you force us to tell the truth it ruins our whole business model!”
Well, I mean if you media is literally fictional propaganda, then maybe it should be cancelled?
“The ‘mis-information bill’ is particularly dangerous for Christians who want to express an alternate view to the prevailing woke culture on gender and sexuality and for those who want to speak out against abortion,” she said.
This seems to be the main issue they have with it.
Yeah because the only ammo they have for their side is made up bullshit
The bill still leaves enforcement of specific content up to the platforms… so it seems they’re implying their own posts on these topics would be generally considered misinformation? I respect the honesty lol
Cool so they want to spread misinformation based on religion. I see this as very similar to if they’d said they wouldn’t be allowed to speak out against evolution
But would there also be any negative effects?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One Nation will also campaign against the bill at a free speech conference in Brisbane later in August, with conservative broadcaster Alan Jones a keynote speaker.
In campaign materials Michelle Pearse, the chief executive of the Australian Christian Lobby, claims the bill is a “threat to our religious freedom”.
“The ‘mis-information bill’ is particularly dangerous for Christians who want to express an alternate view to the prevailing woke culture on gender and sexuality and for those who want to speak out against abortion,” she said.
Wendy Francis, ACL’s national director, told Guardian Australia the bill “fails to include any mechanisms to protect valid expression of opinion and belief or to ensure that there are clear and defined limits on suppression of speech”.
Francis cited challenging the “affirmation only” approach to gender transitioning, comments questioning health advice from the chief medical officer and “public discussion on the inappropriateness of conversion therapy legislation, where it extends unjustifiably to prayer” as examples of speech that could be in the firing line.
Christensen’s CitizenGo campaign to “save free speech” came to Canberra on Friday, with two mobile truck billboards outside Old Parliament House warning that the “government is watching you”, even though the changes preserve industry self-regulation.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
As soon as they use the word woke, I’m out.
Shot themselves in the foot eh
why wont someone think of the religiously indoctrinated children?!!
We are.
The Australian Christian Lobby is a cancer.
First giant spiders, now Christuans!? Fuck Australia is scary.
Red is ඞ said Red…
