Dear Senate,
I, Denis-Peter: am writing to express my grave concerns about the, Disinformation Bill, which is a potential threat to democracy.
This submission is intended to be fully public, including my name.
By this email you now all are with the knowledge of an act of treason that you are about to vote on, against the people of the Commonwealth of Australia, of which I, the living man am one, standing as a free man, and now threatened by servants, to the people, the people being the, men, women and children, of the Commonwealth.
Threatened with slavery to a system of control, violating the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900, as proclaimed and gazetted on the 1st of January 1901, where “We the people stand as supreme” not the government or its agencies, or any allowed foreign interference by claimed governments – that – being treason:
In particular I am concerned about the following issues:
* The Misinformation Bill, without input by the people, who are about to be harmed, and by overriding the peoples consent, is a threat to democracy as it empowers social media to censor differing opinions, undermining our fundamental right to hold truth to power.
* The Misinformation Bill makes the Government an arbiter of truth “a right that they have no lawful authority to” as it allows it to maintain a single narrative, while exempting itself from these restrictive laws.
* The Misinformation Bill risks free speech by empowering ACMA and the eSafety Commissioner to censor the internet, potentially labelling my political views as misinformation.
* The Bill’s censorship risks a healthcare dictatorship and harm to public health by allowing only the government’s view on the pandemic, bringing the law into disrepute.
* Under Section 205E of the Broadcasting Services Act, I can be fined for advising someone to use a VPN if it undermines ACMA’s misinformation code.
* The Misinformation Bill undermines social media by making it economically advantageous for companies to censor users, compounded by the eSafety Commissioner’s existing informal censorship influence.
* The Misinformation Bill favours BigTech by imposing enormous fines that small start-ups cannot afford, undermining Australia’s tech industry and deterring new businesses.
* The Bill’s censorship, aimed at enforcing ‘public confidence’ in the banking system, ironically makes banks look untrustworthy, which they are! thus bringing the law into disrepute.
This Disinformation Bill is an affront to the Commonwealth of Australia democracy.
Therefore I, Denis-Peter: a sui juris and one of the people of the Commonwealth of Australia, ask the Senate to reach into your souls and think of your children and all future generations, that you are all about to betray, should the Senate not reject this harmful Bill, and demand it go to a referendum of the people as the people are the Law, not corporate governments, or foreign agents, being a FACT, that now shows governments stand as de facto.
Yours sincerely, Denis-Peter: Sui Juris (man with no surname or joinder)
