What the Australian misinformation legislation really is: Communism
The federal Australian misinformation legislation threatens huge fines to companies and individuals, of millions of dollars, which are clearly designed to make those who criticise the government into paupers without assets who are entirely dependant upon the government, that it is hard not to see this as Communism by stealth.
It fits well into the same framework as the West Australian State legislation still in force - emergency management act section 77m - that allows the government to take possession of a car or a place or ‘any other thing’ for the purposes of the “COVID-19 police”, where the “COVID-19 Police” don’t even have to tell you they have stolen your property for seven days, and don’t have to give it back.
This legislation says literally that they can break and enter your car, your truck, your premises, your house, anything that belongs to you, and commandeer it (i.e. steal it) and they don’t even have to tell you they have it for seven days. There is nothing in this legislation to limit this power of the “COVID-19 police” to steal what belongs to you, and nothing that says when they have to give it back.
These kinds of laws are not lawful in God’s sight: they infringe the eighth commandment, Thou Shalt Not Steal.
