Please read my ACMA submission re the Disinformation Bill.

'The only opinion that should be banned is the opinion of every politician and bureaucrat pushing this Bill. They should be sent to re-education camps and on release spend the rest of their lives on a watchlist.' Image

Hi @DOGE

I'm a member of parliament in Australia's largest state.

I've just attended a briefing from the 'United States Study Centre' (@USSC ) which is a think tank based at the University of Sydney.

The briefing was endlessly anti-Trump. It felt like I was stuck in a room and forced to watch MSNBC. The presenter concluded by apologising to Australians on behalf of Americans because of the Trump Administration.

A quick AI search indicates the @USSC receives funding from US taxpayers (and Lockheed Martin of course). If true I hereby request it be DOGEd.
Oh this is interesting. Just yesterday the USSC was complaining about cuts in government spending.

Weird thing was that few parliamentarians turned up … but the few that did were mostly pro Trump.

COVID appears not to be contagious outside (a thread).

3 wks ago 15k good people protested COVID lockdowns in Sydney.

Endless misinformed critics were certain it would be a superspreader.

NSW boasts 'world's best contact tracing.'

Zero cases connected to the Freedom March.
To those paying attention this is unsurprising.

Rightly or wrongly the NY Times is the world's most powerful newspaper. On 11/5/21 NY Times said:

"There is not a single documented Covid infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions.'

1/8. 🤮 🚨

Below are seven questions #Biden was just asked at his first 'real' press conference all year.

The obsequiousness of the reporters would have made the Soviet press blush.

#MAGA
2/8. “Thank you Mr Vice President. In reference to that article in the Atlantic … what does it tell you about Trump’s soul and the life he leads? #SovietMedia #MAGA
3/8. “Mr Biden thank you. You said today was the angriest you’ve ever been as a presidential candidate but you said you were trying to restrain yourself. Your supporters are asking, ‘why aren’t you angrier about this?” #SovietMedia #MAGA

1/13. The COVID-mania backstory.

At the 2016 presidential election, almost 300,000 people voted in Washington DC. 4% voted Trump.

The Swamp utterly detested Trump. They said his policies and his style were ghastly but that wasn't the Swamp's problem.
2/13. The professional political class were most appalled because Trump was just a private citizen who walked off the street and into the White House.

That is meant to be the democratic ideal in a great republic but there was nothing like it since Andrew Jackson in 1828.
3/13. What made the pain of Trump winning so acute was that the Democrat HQ, the Clinton campaign and their friends in the media spent the entire Republican primary season cheering Trump on thinking he'd be so easy to beat.

1. Australia’s federal Health Minister Greg Hunt tells us:

“The early scenarios we saw were absolutely real. If Australia had done nothing the virus would have ripped through the Australian community and led to massive human loss.”
2. Paul Kelly in The Australian tells us if we doubt that view we are ‘malicious’ and belong to the 'populist right.'

Golly. Why the vitriol? Is the establishment defensive over claims they have over-reacted and unnecessarily harmed the economy?
3. A month ago we were told Australia faced 150,000 virus deaths and today we have less than 100. Is that success because of the lockdown?

Let’s soberly consider the data.

Since 90% + of nations are in lockdown it’s hard to compare but we do have a few valuable outliers.
