18.01.2022 Hey Scott Morrison (ScoMo) and Anthony Albanese - why aren’t you condemning THIS violation of human rights perpetrated against Australian children?

06.01.2022 Should we do this in Qld too

04.01.2022 Last week, the Government introduced the Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify And Disrupt) Bill. It gives security agencies massive new powers to be abl...e to access data on people’s computers and devices.. This Bill creates three new types of warrants that would allow officers to modify, add, copy or delete information on people’s devices, and in some cases, take over people’s accounts. As always, Peter Dutton is using the threat of terrorism and the most serious offences imaginable to scare people into accepting this legislation, but in reality the thresholds are set at a much lower level. To obtain a data disruption warrant, the AFP or ACIC would need to show that it was necessary to frustrate an offence carrying a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment. This is a very low threshold, and would catch things like minor drug offences and even breaches of the Copyright Act. This means that security agencies could covertly access people’s devices on the basis that they contain unlicensed versions of movies or songs. These laws are poorly drafted, rushed and typically for this government, show a complete disregard for people’s basic rights like privacy. Over the last 20 years, well over 200 pieces of legislation which curtail fundamental rights and freedoms have been passed through Australian parliaments. They are seldom wound back or even revised, and the net result has been a severe reduction in our freedoms and liberties. It’s time for a Charter of Rights to protect the things we value.

02.01.2022 A bill to collapse the specialist Family Court into the generalist Federal Circuit Court (FCC) must not proceed, amid revelations the FCC is facing severe backl...ogs of more than a year’s worth of migration and family law cases. The FCC’s Annual Report, released on Friday, reveals stark concerns that the FCC is simply unable to cope with its increasing workload, putting vulnerable children, Australian families and Judges at significant risk. https://www.lawcouncil.asn.au//dire-federal-circuit-court-
