it is going before the senate next session so we DO have the ability to stop this bill if the senate votes it down

what you are doing is encouraging people to let it just go through by saying it won’t matter if they don’t take action

but it does matter

our senate has REAL power and we CAN say no

bless your good heart, Finn. Look at the senators on the list, and the ones nearest you - go visit (politely) and tell them they must vote no for the good of the country — and please send to any interstate who will reliably go in good faith, politely and tell their senators, too

yes they do but they are restricted by time constraints to mainly go for criminals.

This bill auto censors everyone 24/7 with AI done by the platforms themselves

Good work,,, we need unified action , & this looks ok .... thank you

There is not "misinformation" - only MISSING information.

And they'd love nothing better than to ensure you never find it.

Les Kraft's avatar

Do you have any advice for those that lodged submissions on this proposal ?

I don’t know anyone who has received a reply ... I have seen quotes that 20,000 made submissions -- I would doubt this number is accurate ; I would estimate 2 or 3 fold of this number ...

Thank you

Alison Bevege's avatar

Please do physically go in to your nearest Senator’s office this week. It is the only thing that counts now, as Senators can vote it down and reject it in the session starting November 18. Submissions are now irrelevant.

Thanks Alison.

There are two senators wrong in the list.

Janet Rice was replaced by

Senator Steph Hodgins-May

Electorate Office (Principal Office), Shop 2-3/26 Lygon Street, Brunswick East, VIC, 3057

Telephone: (03) 9381 1446

And Linda White seems to have been replaced by

Senator Lisa Darmanin

Electorate Office (Principal Office), Level 3 North, 4 Treasury Place, East Melbourne, VIC, 3002

Telephone: (03) 9232 8260

Also, a typo, 7 November was a Thursday (not Monday)

Alison Bevege's avatar

Many thanks, eagle eyes - very grateful. I will amend now

Madeleine Love's avatar

Thanks for being so great on the issues. I'd just pulled the Vic senators down from the aph site to write them letters, so I was up with it.

I looked for a place to subscribe financially to you (good work) but I didn't see it. I can't subscribe to everyone, so I move money around from person to person every few months

Alison Bevege's avatar

yes i do for free, no payment - this just purely for the public interest to do my duty as a citizen and keep my skills in shape

Danielle's avatar

The other JLN senator in Tassie is now an independent, I believe.

Alison Bevege's avatar

Yes please do go in and visit their office

Danielle's avatar

Address info for Murray Watt is in Victoria?

Alison Bevege's avatar

Thanks for flagging, i knew there would be something the AI buggered up and my tired eyes would miss. I will correct now. Thank you, treasure.

Vicki Sanderson's avatar

Thanks Phil. I have already put in two submissions re this Bill & attended the demonstration in Sydney, but will continue to voice opposition as you have suggested. I don’t have much hope as the LNP who are the possible opponents of the Bill just don’t have the numbers. I will be writing to them to say that I expect them to retract the legislation if they win government at the imminent elections.

Danielle's avatar

Tasmanians need to get to Jacqui Lambie. She is up for reelection next year. Everyone really needs to contact any independents especially.

Alison Bevege's avatar

Her office address is there. There are also all the other senators too - independent, teal, green and labor seem to be the ones voting for it so maybe go to them first

If they vote it in I will list their names here on Substack and we must campaign against them personally if they vote for this. We must remind everyone what they did.

Alison Bevege's avatar

Please, go in to your nearest Senator’s office this week and calmly, politely make it clear that you will campaign against them if they vote for this. Showing up is half the battle. They don’t listen to petitions and submissions but REAL people willing to show up - that is motivating for politicians who have to face the vote at election time.

If they vote this in, their names will be on this page and we must make sure they are voted out

Danielle's avatar

Better make sure you get them up before you’re censored 🙄

RFK Jnr is now unmuzzled in the US and (with Elon Musk's help) he will soon be able to tell the whole world what he wrote in “The Real Anthony Fauci - Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health”.

The present government of Australia will do ANYTHING to prevent Australians finding out about the crimes Federal and State Governments and their bureaucrats committed against Australians with their responses to the COVID-19 plandemic - especially their crimes of

1. Deceiving the public about the testing and the risks of the mRNA COVID-19 gene therapy jabs

2. Misrepresenting those gene therapy injections as "vaccines"

3. Allowing Australians effectively to be denied their INFORMED CONSENT rights by their employers

4. Permitting the COVID-19 mRNA injections (still) to be administered to Australians after numerous, rigorous, independent scientific studies and abundant statistical evidence have demonstrated that the benefits of them (if any) are far outweighed by the known risks and the - as yet unknowable - risks they pose to future generations

But when he was PM, Scott Morrison, too, had given his Minister for Communications (Member for Bradfield, Paul Fletcher) carriage of the LNP version of Labor and Albanese's "misinformation and disinformation" censorship legislation.

Hopefully, Peter Dutton will have the decency and the good sense to realise that his personal credibility and the survival of the LNP Coalition as a (literally) credible political force in this country depend on him SPEAKING UP and forcing LNP parliamentarians to tell their constituents and the Parliament the WHOLE TERRIBLE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S ONGOING COVID RESPONSES ...

...before Robert Kennedy Jnr, Elon Musk and the 47th President of the United States do.

Alison Bevege's avatar

Hopefully data will come out but do not pin your hopes on it. Trump’s team has NOT yet announced any official role for RFK and his transition team co-chair Howard Lutnick has been reported saying RFK will not be made head of the Department of Health and Human Services, the head department source of the corruption and problems (FDA is a sub-agency of HHS).

So it is up to us. I urge you to pick your nearest Senator’s office on the list above and GO IN this week, make it clear they will be punished next election because we will remember them by name.

Excellent work Alison👏👏👏👍💯🎯

I'd respectfully suggest when people contact their senators- don't threaten them with punishment and losing their positions. That's precisely the reason this BS has dragged on for almost 5yrs. The bureaucrats have been terrified about being wrong and losing their jobs, so they caved and went with peer pressure. Unfortunately, they also figured out that the bureacratic class is bloated AF and their are more protecting their positions than those of us fighting for all.😐🙄

I'd suggest people remind them that people are injured/dying and dead, that they should and took public office loathes to protect, and that the first team to acknowledge this and show empathy and open action towards these people, will be remembered in history as those with integrity. The team that doesn't, will be forever written in history as human garbage. And no matter whether the bill passes or not, people WILL continue to write history and the TRUTH of it.😉💯

Graffiti artists will multiply like never before, they are/Will be our modern literary historians.

true it's defensive behaviour -- these are the politicians however who answer to us at election time, good point about people being injured and censored.

excellent point about being non-hostile, i agree totally

R S Owens's avatar

I take your point re RFK Jnr, Alison and I will certainly contact the senators as you advise.

While RFK Jnr's specific role in the new administration has not yet been nailed down, the US election result has given (probably millions of) his supporters licence and confidence to speak up and out. They now KNOW they are NOT a minority.

Joe Rogan is just one other very high profile RFK Jnr supporter I could have mentioned. Joe will now feel even more comfortable sharing the RFK Jnr message. He has a huge following (especially) amongst intelligent younger people who will now EXPECT him to call out any backtracking by the new administration.

But DJT has also had the honesty and integrity to nail his colours (and strap himself and the future of his new administration) to the truth-mast by bringing in RFK Jnr. Potent influencers like Rogan, Musk and RFK Jnr himself will ensure that any RINO or corporate pressure on Trump to backtrack on promises is exposed and nipped in the bud.

I understand your caution but hopefully this genie is just too big, too angry and too important to be put back in its bottle (or lamp lol)

PS Bless you for all the fantastic work YOU have done and continue to do. 🙏

Alison Bevege's avatar

thank you so so so much. You may just see the office staff when you go in, but it's still worth it because a real human face is worth a tonne of letters/petitions in an AI world

Billy Field's avatar

Extremely important and dangerous “laws” being introduced as stealthily & quickly as they can…Foolish despot Laws voted on by Labor Party lackeys with virtually no proper debate or plebiscite (nothing to do with misinformation, its about silencing truth they don’t like). Seems they are so stupid they do not realise that in time they & their own families will be the quarry of wanna-be ruthless murdering dictators. Good advice on action from Alison above..take it!..WORK HARD TO GET RID OF THIS TRASH OR ELSE!

Alison Bevege's avatar

Look on the senator list for your nearest one and ho into their office and tell staff politely and calmly that you will campaign against them in the next election if they vote for this. If people show up they will take notice. They wont listen to digital anything.

Michael Ginsburg's avatar

I propose a different approach: become ungovernable:

https://substack.com/@michaelginsburg/note/c-76246210

And then, dissolve the Commonwealth (completely & permanently):

https://substack.com/@michaelginsburg/note/c-55999264

Or, you can always continue being insane...

Alison Bevege's avatar

That is not a good idea michael because the state will lock you in prison. We have a mechanism here to try which works, please go in to your nearest Senator’s office and calmly and politely make it clear you will campaign against them if they vote for this and then they will be voted out. That works. They can vote it down. If you don’t go in and personally talk to the Senator’s office then you can’t really complain and say you’ll be ungovernable because you didn’t do the easiest and effective thing that was available to you.

and by the way - how are you going to be 'ungovernable' when all socials are censored. It's already so difficult just to even communicate the gene-vaccine injuries. What do you think you are going to do to "ungovern" social media censorship? Start your own platform? you cannot.

sadly no, i don't have time - between bus driving, fixing the chat gpt errors here, editing and writing plus fotf and normal house duties, i just don't have any spare time for more

Michael Ginsburg's avatar

You were calm and polite on that Channel 7 farce Alison. How did that work out for you?

You can NEVER fix your problems with the same thinking that created them in the first place....EVER!

I encourage you (and everyone else reading this) to watch this short 15 minute film and especially pay close attention to the part where the older guy is talking about the "demonstrations, petitions and protests"...

Alison Bevege's avatar

it worked excellently because what happened was unbeknown to me someone recorded it, so it backfired on the censors. More people got to hear about provisional registration than otherwise would have.

If you don't try the mechanisms available to you then you can't complain when they don't work

The BarefootHealer's avatar

I think we will ultimately end up there Michael😉 But you can lead a horse to water, not to drink. That level of self determination/intentional citizenship, takes courage and a maturity of soul, not seen in a couple of generations😉

We'll get there again, as we cycle around or the pendulum swings, but we are not there yet, not by a long shot.😐

Bryan's avatar

[If socials are censored for what the government calls “misinformation” then The Guardian, ABC, SBS and Nine will all self-censor, too. ]

I don't believe this. This law is a way to control media the State cannot control, and that really means the EKaren's nemesis X. The Labor (and Liberal) policy of stopping 16 years olds for accessing social media is quite machiavelian. I guarantee you'll see a carve out for YouTube, FB and Instagram. What will be left hanging in the wind is X and TikTok. Mission accomplished.

yes i think it's to help the digital id as well, as a benefit. but also because it's popular with parents and sucks up the headlines and confuses people to think that's what we're talking about here when it isn't.

Alison Bevege's avatar

You could be right about the carve-outs, that does sound logical. Also the age limit is a gateway to digital ID because how do you prove you're over 16? No digital ID no access.

But regarding the back-engineered censorship - this is already true. This is why you saw no gene-vaccine injured stories anywhere. Apart from that the eds were hoodwinked like the rest of us to thinking that a "vaccine" must therefore be "good" without checking that this isn't necessarily true - but those stories couldn't get shared therefore no clicks/impact/ad revenue, therefore discouraged.

I worked in media. Journalists’ work is deemed successful if it is widely shared and makes a big splash. If you cannot share it but your colleagues can, they will be rewarded with career progression.

That is how it works. I know this as i worked 10 years at newsltd (full time) and 3 at Daily Mail (casual).

This is even MORE true after the revenue sharing agreements guarantee socials/google finance mainstream. If your stories cannot be shared then it removes the entire reasoning behind the revenue sharing, which was that google/socials benefit from the work of media houses without paying for the journalist wages, costs etc.

Much easier to control the minds of under 16’s when you ban them from watching or listening to anything “subversive” or counter narrative on social media and force them to be programmed by the state.

Alison Bevege's avatar

they muddied the waters with that under-16s ban because a lot of parents love that idea. Socials are toxic for young people as they're developed to addict you with dopamine hits and they ruin young self-esteem, not to mention the pedo catfishers.

That's not the bill here - but they made a big announcement so people would be confused

Danielle's avatar

Apparently only Helen Haines and Allegra Spender voted against, out of all the Teals.

Alison Bevege's avatar

Yes, good job to both of them.
