CONGRATULATIONS Senator Ralph Babet for landing a blow against Albanese and his zombie politicians in the Senate.
But the Greens, after supporting Senator Babet’s urgency motion to debate the shocking powers of the eSafety Commission and proof-of-age demands for internet search engine access, later backflipped and voted with their totalitarian Labor friends to block a Senate Inquiry into the matter.
In the Senate last week, Babet used his once-yearly Senate urgency motion powers last week to raise the issue of privacy rights as opposed to the coming demand by the Albanaese government to require age identification for all internet users.
“The privacy implications of the Internet Search Engine Services Online Safety Code are nothing short of staggering,” Senator Babet told the Senate. “It’s alarming, but the government leaves me to stand here against the steady advance of the surveillance state.
“First it was a social media ban for all under-sixteens, followed by a YouTube ban, both of which require mandator IDs for all users of all ages. Now the focus has shifted to search engines, what comes next …?”
And then came the flood of support for Babet’s urgency motion from all corners of the Senate except Albos’ zombie Labor supporters – Greens, Independents, Liberals, Nationals all spoke against the age verification legislation. As Topher Field noted, it was a very rare occurrence.
When the vote was taken Babet’s urgency motion won by 38 to 25. This briefly opened the door to the possible defeat of the legislation and underlined the value of an Upper House to balance a Lower House dominated by one party.
What it didn’t account for was the cowardly backdown by the Greens who most likely did a quick and dirty backroom deal with Labor. The people of Australia lose on both counts.
Babet’s adviser Michael Arbon said the new code proposed by the eSafety Commissioner was a massive privacy and surveillance issue and the half-hour debate and vote proved that it is recognised as such by all of the parties except Labor.
“It needs to be dealt with by the government, so they’re now under some serious pressure,” he said.
Labor is backing a lame horse, an idea foisted on Australia by the powers that be under the guise of “child protection”.
The idea of internet control was birthed by the World Economic Forum, who appear to have used their CIA-endorsed agent Julie Inman Grant to slither into the Australian public service under the compromised Morrison government as an online child protector.
Inman Grant in recent years flew through all the major executive roles in big tech companies and went on to become one of the key players in the massive social media censorship operation launched within Twitter. Meta played the same game with Facebook and Google with YouTube.
All they needed was a country like Australia to set the stage for a global censorship roll out by putting it all into law.
