[@davidw9325]

This anti - democracy bill must not be passed! Thank you Andrew

[@johnwebber4358]

As an Australian I am utterly astonished that this bill is even being considered. Wake up AUSTRALIA. THROW IT OUT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

[@victorgomes7585]

Exactly.

[@alexzannoni1501]

Absolutely!!!

[@charliepearce8767]

As an Australian, I'd be very surprised if it gets through with the amount of negative feedback from everyone, except Anton.

[@simonemullucks9446]

💯 agree!!!

Keep writing and calling to your local MP. It's up to us citizens to maintain our freedom and safeguard our wealth from adversaries.

This bill should never have been given a hearing in a democratic country in the first place.

[@michelejay5218]

Amen. Thank you for championing our right to think, research and discuss, without prejudice and censorship. Anyone who drafted or voted for this Bill, is a traitor to Australians.

[@michaelcrook6630]

Good on ya mate.. More people need to know about this.

[@cinematiclion7121]

I agree with every part of this speech however, the Liberal Party have given and aided the Labour Government the 'Under 16 social media ban'. And honestly HOW DARE YOU!! I can parent my own children thank you. What a weak kneed overreach. This is just as Orwellian and authoritarian as the 'MAD' bill. And a betrayal of the Liberal Party 'charter'. I've been a life long Liberal voter but, I now regret my recent vote in QLD, I will never make that mistake again.

[@dave9547]

Exactly. Top brass is a UNIPARTY. People need to hurry up and realise this.

[@cheeks7050]

Well said, especially the part about security.

[@carbybirett]

Even just just coming up with this bill should be the last nail in this Government's coffin.

[@robyn7287]

Fantastic senator Wallace so glad and relieved to see that not everyone in parliament has taken leave of their senses. Australia, last time I looked, was committed to protecting and promoting traditional rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech, opinion, religion, association and movement. Seems like this government has thrown out the all respect for us. The same will happen to them if they don’t drop this terrible policy and remember that us Australians love our freedom and will fight for it.

If this bill passes I am leaving Australia. I will take my company with an annual turnover of 2 million out of this country to somewhere I am treated better. I am tired of not being able to express myself freely and feeling scared of posting anything online.

[@Telewest792]

what is really disturbing is the lack of MP's in the house to listen so obviously they are not interested in democracy , to the Australian people lets vote out any one who backs this Bill that would be Labor ,the Greens and the teals .

[@cinematiclion7121]

Regarding the 'Under 16, social media ban' and the contradictions against it here in your own speech. "Almost every recorded social media bullying incident that led to physical harm or death was perpetrated by school peers. Most was conducted with the knowledge of parents and teachers. The problem is not social media. The problem is the social situation and lack of discipline within the school system and at the home. Banning social media will only isolate people and cut off access to knowledge. It won't stop school-age bullying. If anything, it will make this bullying more difficult to prove"

[@letmeexplain1816]

Well said !!

When a clown moves into the palace (labour) it doesn't become King. The palace becomes a circus. Is this Bill a distraction from something worse. What ever the reason, Australian's have to raise their VOICES and speak out against the suppression of the Australian people.

[@marylinsmith4290]

Brilliant observation AL!

[@The1ShyButterfly]

How to protect our children from social media...easy, educate your children PARENTS, if they don't get the message, remove the device. THAT IS WHAT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A PATENT - to keep your children safe. You are not meant to be a friend to them, you are the adult and using your wisdom to give them the best chance at making good decisions in future as they mature, encouraging critical thinking- children need boundaries, not to cater to your need to be seen as a kool parent!
