These laws, as I understand them, censor information on the internet and make the government and a list of “approved media outlets” (by the government!) exempt from the legislation.

I want to ask the people in this thread who vote ALP: are you okay with this?

This is in the running for the worst piece of legislation ever to go through Australian parliament.

History’s most prominent dictators would’ve had wet dreams over this sort of legislation.

Liberals want even stronger Orwellian restrictions to our freedom of information. Both parties (who are the same party anyway) are a disgrace. This is up there with China, it may in fact be worse.
 
Unelectable was the left's catchcry....Dutton giving them something to think abot at least.

Of course Upgrade Albo's Government's continued failure on cost of living, the monumental failure of Albo's personal focus The Voice and the continued absolute dumpster fire handling of the criminal Detainees by walking talking trainwrecks Andrew Giles and Clare O'Neill and now the big berk off Tony Burke assisted by Mark Dreyfuss KC's stuff ups ain't helping either.


Newspoll: Peter Dutton passes Anthony Albanese in approval​

Peter Dutton’s net approval now surpasses Anthony Albanese’s, as the Prime Minister’s personal ratings dip to a new low according to the latest Newspoll.

Primary support for the Coalition has lifted to 40 per cent for the first time since the 2022 election, and Peter Dutton’s net approval now surpasses Anthony Albanese’s, according to the latest Newspoll conducted for The Australian.
The Prime Minister’s personal ratings have hit a new low and the leadership contest narrows to its closest margin yet.

The results come after a tough month for Mr Albanese in the wake of the US election results and the flight upgrades controversy.

While Mr Albanese still holds the lead as preferred prime minister, there is now only a four-point gap separating him from Mr Dutton in that role.

cent, but rise in support for the Coalition represents a gain of more than four points over the same period and makes it an election threat.


The Coalition has also maintained its 51-49 per cent two-party-preferred lead over Labor, maintaining its edge.

However, this margin would not be enough to win the next election, with the more likely result being a hung parliament and a minority Labor government.

Greens and Labor seats biggest beneficiaries of government’s move to wipe 20 per cent from student debt​

Young voters in affluent, highly educated electorates will be the biggest beneficiaries of Labor’s move to wipe 20 per cent from student debts, analysis of taxation data has revealed.

Young voters living in inner-city Greens and Labor seats would be the biggest beneficiaries of the Albanese government’s pledge to wipe 20 per cent from student loans.
But the Greens have upped the ante, pledging to axe all student debt under an eye watering $74bn promise, to make it easier for people to save money, buy their first home and start a family.

Analysis of taxation office data shows the federal electorates of Melbourne, Wills, Brisbane, Griffith and Cooper have the largest number of voters – more than 30,000 each – that will cash in from Labor’s election policy.

Anthony Albanese’s own electorate of Grayndler also makes the top 10, alongside the affluent suburb of Kooyong in Melbourne.

But experts warn the cost of living measure is helping young voters in the wealthiest, most educated electorates, who have the greatest access to social and economic capital including financial support from family.
Half of the top 10 seats that have the highest number of people with HELP debts are in Victoria, with almost a third in Queensland.

People in the seat of Melbourne have also racked up average debts almost $8000 higher than the national average of $27,641, which means they’ll get a $7000 cut compared to the average $5520 saving.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton rejected Labor’s plan to slash $16bn from the HECS, TAFE and apprenticeship loans of three million Australians from June 1, 2025, arguing it was inflationary.

Redbridge pollster Kos Samaras said the policy was indicative of Labor always attempting to fix problems that were “closer to their social class”, rather than the voters they should be worried about.

“The younger voters that should keep this Labor government awake at night are those that are living in Camden, Ipswich, Rockhampton, Nelson, outer suburbs, regions,” Mr Samaras said.

“They are the ones who are more likely to be extremely volatile, who expressed to us huge levels of dissatisfaction towards party politics full stop, and obviously, these young people do not have a university degree.

“That grievance is fuelled by a sense of being economically abandoned, politically abandoned … and I think all this will do is reinforce that prejudice.”
Melbourne MP and Greens leader Adam Bandt wrote to Mr Albanese last week demanding the proposal to cut debts and raise the repayment threshold from $54,000 to $67,000 be legislated immediately.

Meanwhile, his party’s plan to wipe all student debt is expected to cost $74bn over the decade, which it plans to pay for by taxing big corporations that have profited from price gouging during the cost of living crisis.

Greens higher education spokeswoman, Senator Mehreen Faruqi, said: “If Anthony Albanese can go to uni for free, so should everyone else”.

We desperately need to fund university educations so we can churn out more people like Anthony Albanese.

Yeah, much more obvious than picking specific sporting clubs or train stations to upgrade in particular electorates, ignoring treasury priorities... ;)
 
Nuclear expert Dr Adi Paterson just owned the ALP's whiskers Dan Repacholi who is so far out of his league here it's not funny. A former coalminer taking on a world leading authority on nuclear science. LOL LOL

Dutton also supports under 16 bans on social media which means everyone will need a digital id to access it. Both parties are dogshit.

Not sure why you are so worried about digital ID... as ASIO are already on to you given how much you have posted on this ;)

You can understand why both parties want this so badly. They are desperate to ban free speech platforms like X. For one they don't want us to see the mess they have created with their mass immigration disaster and their obsession with cheap labor and ponsy scheme growth.

A decade ago if someone told you we would become a country where Muslims chant on our streets to gas the Jews and Left wing students and the faculty call for the genocide of Israelis you would never have believed them. The elites are desperate to cover up the damage they have created, a disaster that they can no longer control. So they have to hide the truth with censorship.

In a healthy democracy the above and our out-of-control house prices and badly broken health system should be enough for a competent, uncompromised government to do a 180 and change its immigration policy. Neither Labor or Liberal will ever do this and especially if they can censor people's access to independent media.

At least some understand. There is hope.

Explains it pretty well here. Be wary of content creators complaining because this is a lazy income for many of them. Even a lot of people use social media platforms to make 2nd and 3rd incomes. But the points made by Albanese on this have been what I and others have been saying for a decade. For all the good social media does, it is 10x worse for the mental well being of kids.

I support it. Kids have so much more to do in their early teems than be on facebook, instagram and tiktok. I say this backlash is all content creater driven. Storm in a tea cup.

Keeping the facts simple for you Bicks...

Would a nuclear power plant fit Australia's needs? These numbers cut through the debate

As the shift away from fossil fuels gathers pace, the Coalition has turned to an emissions-free technology with a long and contentious history — nuclear fission. These are the numbers you should keep in mind when thinking about its place in Australia's energy transition.

Could you possibly have found a more biased source if you tried. Maybe you could have tried the Guardian or billionaire renewables investor Holmes A Court? The ALPBC. LOL.

I'm going with a World leading nuclear scientist Dr Adrian Paterson over anyone at the ABC.

The biggest problem we’ve got in this country is that “centrists” like Kane still think the news is real.

That’s a bigger problem than any politician.

The last expert you quoted me is in this report... but apparently he's not relevant anymore lol.

Most of the key facts are undeniable, including the cost & time to deliver.

Feel free to debunk the facts with a credible resource.
