  This is what I meant when I said on election night Albo is centre right at best.

    Albo is a grub, all of Labor are.

    Greens are the only viable left wing party.

  When it comes to digital rights we have slowly been heading towards fascist dystopia.

  I first stated paying attention when Rudd / Conroy tried to filter the internet. Although IIRC mobile phone Know Your Customer came in post sept 2001.

  Since then it’s just been a frog in a pot. Meta data retention, assistance and access, identify and disrupt now the hand your ID to every fucking site/app bullshit posing as a kids social media ban.

  It’s always been about the ability to silence dissent.

  Fuck our politicians. Enjoying saying that while I can. Probably won’t be long before saying that will get your internet cut off.

  While I’m unhappy about potentially losing Signal, the second half of the article about expanding ASIO’s powers is even more chilling. Most people I know don’t use or care about Signal unfortunately.
