Australians vs. The Agenda

I need your help with this one…

Are Senate Committees allowed to make impromptu declarations that they will extend the final date for submissions?

Senator Sarah Hanson-Young did this today when CyberCX Executive Director said that he witnessed 𝕏Corp spreading propaganda on their platform.

DM me on IG/𝕏 if you know.

🚨𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗢: ‘Voice to Parliament’ architect Thomas Mayo says that despite the failure of the referendum…

“𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.”

That’s not correct.

At least Senator Malcolm Roberts got it right 🙄

There is a video circulating where someone is saying that the ‘Combatting Misinformation & Disinformation bill’ will be passed in a week.

This is wrong.

The bill cannot be "passed next week" because it has just been referred to a Committee review, which won't issue its report until towards the end of November.

And this is not including the Committee review into Social Media, which is also due in November.

Debate cannot resume until after public consultation (submissions) and members proposals (committee review) have been formulated + a notice period of 7 days before debate resumes.

Finally — it cannot “pass next week” because the Senate doesn’t resume until 8 October.

The video should be deleted ASAP and a correction needs to be made.
