What emerges is that the decline of reasonableness in government in Australia continues. Either this is just poorly crafted, ill thought out law, or it is something much darker: a further step towards tyranny.

The Australian government recently introduced legislation, the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Prohibited Hate Symbols and Other Measures) Bill 2023, that, on the face of it, would make it a crime, punishable with up to five years in jail, to view online material that “describes or depicts serious violence.” It is based on wording so loose it opens the door to criminalizing large amounts of online viewing, including video games, any kind of war coverage, and entire genres of Hollywood movies.

Mandating to citizens what they can watch and/or what they are allowed to see goes hand in hand with criminalization of what they can say…..soon all will have to wear special ear plugs to block out information that is not allowed to be heard! No doubt the technology is being worked on to control what citizens can think too!

Mere slavery will become a “step-up” from the tyranny that TPTB are trying to impose!
