A High Court challenge has now been launched against Australia’s unpopular “Under-16” social media ban – and a freedom group and two teenagers are the only ones with enough spine to do it.

The Digital Freedom Project, along with teens Noah Jones and Macy Heyland, are pushing back against a law that Labor and the Liberals rammed through together in a classic uni-party performance.

The two parties will “fight” for the cameras, then vote in lockstep whenever there’s an opportunity to expand state power – always.

The government is selling this as “protecting children,” but anyone with a functioning brain cell can see what’s really happening.

This is the soft launch of a Chinese-style digital control system, wrapped in warm parenting slogans and eKaren panic.

Under the new rules, every child is banned from major platforms on December 10 – and every adult will soon be asked for Digital ID just to log into Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit, and the rest.

No ID? No access. That’s not “safety.” That’s permission-based speech.

Digital Freedom Project President John Ruddick called it “more authoritarian than anything else worldwide,” and he’s not wrong – the Chinese Communist Party is probably watching us like proud parents at a school performance.

Because once a state can demand identification to speak, post or participate online, the infrastructure is complete.

Today it’s kids. Tomorrow it’s “harmful misinformation.” The day after that, some bureaucrat decides who is “trusted” enough to post without restrictions.

That’s how a social credit system starts – quietly, and always under the banner of “safety.”

Meanwhile, the same government and tech giants demanding your documents can’t protect a bar of soap, let alone your identity.

Optus, Medibank, Latitude, health records, licences, Medicare – hacked, dumped and sold – every single time.

Yet Australians are expected to hand over even more personal data for a system guaranteed to be breached. What could possibly go wrong?

Teenagers like Macy and Noah can see the issue clearer than the entire parliament.

Macy says the law silences young voices and will just push teens toward fake accounts and VPNs – which every teen on Earth already knows how to use.

Noah points out the obvious: real online safety comes from education and smart safeguards, not blanket bans written by people who still think “the TikToks” are demons hiding inside the modem.

Labor’s Anika Wells is thumping her chest, insisting they’ll “stand firm”

Translation? They’ll ignore concerns, ignore warnings, ignore the High Court and ignore the public, all while pretending this is good parenting policy instead of a data-harvesting dream.

The Liberals, who voted for it before suddenly developing doubts, are no better.

It’s the same theatre every time: Labor drafts the overreach, the Liberals wave it through, and both congratulate themselves for “protecting Australians.”

This isn’t protection. It’s preparation – a rehearsal for a country where your identity must be presented before your voice can be heard.

It's a system where data replaces autonomy, compliance replaces freedom, and scanning becomes the cost of being allowed to exist online.

They want Australians conditioned – slowly, quietly, permanently.

Normalise proving who you are. Normalise the scans. Normalise the surveillance. Normalise the erosion of freedom dripping out one “safety measure” at a time.

The war on privacy isn’t coming. It’s here, right now, unfolding around us. And this ban is the opening shot.

Every nation has a moment where one ordinary person stands up and shows just how fragile the powerful really are.

In Australia, that moment didn’t come from a billionaire, a dynasty, or some perfectly polished insider. It came from a red-headed small business owner who refused to read from anyone’s script.

Pauline Hanson walked into Australian politics without a safety net, without connections, without protection and without fear – and she instantly became the biggest threat the political establishment had seen in a generation.

She didn’t recite rehearsed lines. She didn’t soften her voice to please elites. She didn’t pretend she couldn’t see what millions of Australians were already seeing. She said what others wouldn’t whisper – and that alone made her public enemy number one.

Australia’s corrupted two-party system – now more of a stitched-up uniparty controlled by offshore interests than anything resembling democratic choice – responded exactly as brittle institutions always do.

First the mockery, then the smears, then the legal warfare, then the imprisonment. The message was simple: conform or get crushed. But they misread their target. Terribly.

Her defence of national sovereignty made her a nuisance in a world where global outfits like the UN, WHO and WEF love lecturing Australians about how we should live, work and govern ourselves. And while the political class bowed, she pushed back – loudly.

Agree with her or don’t, the sentiment is widespread: she speaks with the bluntness of someone who actually lives in the country she’s fighting for, not in the talking points drafted in Canberra boardrooms.

And that authenticity – that refusal to bend the knee to global agendas or local insiders – is exactly why she survived everything designed to finish her. Because what came next was the part no strategist, no summit, no party machine and no media hit-piece ever saw coming.

She didn’t fold. She didn’t disappear. She didn’t apologise for existing. She walked out of prison vindicated and twice as determined – and Australia noticed. She became the political equivalent of a dropped match in dry grass.

Everything the elites dismissed – housing stress, disappearing jobs, cultural tension, surging costs, foreign buy-ups, the collapse of manufacturing – suddenly exploded into national consciousness.

And now the corporate media are begrudgingly reporting on the very issues they once mocked her for raising. She wasn’t ahead of her time – they were asleep at the wheel.

Meanwhile, the part most Australians never witness keeps unfolding quietly: the woman who helps the desperate, donates without cameras, and gives her time to those the system has abandoned.

That’s why she endures. Not because she’s flawless, but because she’s honest. Not because she’s fashionable, but because she refuses to lie.

And now the political ground is shifting under the establishment’s feet. One Nation are snapping at the heels of the Liberal-National Coalition in the polls – a Coalition so hollowed-out and directionless they’re rapidly becoming Australia’s version of the UK Tories.

Their support is cratering. Their base is evaporating. Their relevance is fading by the week. More and more Australians are saying out loud what insiders whisper – One Nation may soon become the country’s official opposition.

And if that happens, it won’t be because of billboards, donors, or consultants. It’ll be because one stubborn woman refused to bow.

Pauline Hanson has outlasted governments, prime ministers, media campaigns, court battles, party machines, character assassinations and three decades of political warfare. She has outlasted everyone who swore she’d vanish in a month.

The elites threw everything at her – and she’s still standing. Labor, the Liberals, Nationals, Greens, and Teals tried to shut her up – and she got louder. The media laughed at her – and the public started listening anyway.

Global institutions can host their conferences, politicians can swap leaders, commentators can write their clever little columns – but none of them have managed to do the one thing they wanted most: make Australia forget the woman they tried to bury.

Because whether you agree with her or not, Pauline Hanson represents something this country aches for – an Australian who refuses to bow. And in an age of political puppets and pre-approved talking heads, that kind of strength hits different.

Australians are finally waking up to the illusion of choice. For decades, the nation has been ruled by two wings of the same bird – Labor and Liberal – each claiming to offer something different while serving the same global interests.

Both parties have long abandoned the Australian people in favour of the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organisation, the G20, and the Paris Climate Agreement – unelected networks riddled with controversy and conflicts of interest.

Australia’s energy, health, migration, and economic policies now bear the fingerprints of foreign bureaucrats and global technocrats who answer to no Australian voter.

Layered on top of this is the Five Eyes Intelligence Network, which blurs the line between domestic privacy and international surveillance, and the growing influence of central banks – institutions that operate beyond electoral accountability yet dictate the nation’s financial direction.

Together, they form a lattice of unelected power: a web of influence that has quietly replaced national sovereignty with compliance.

The Liberal Party’s collapse has become impossible to ignore. Once the home of enterprise and conviction, it now drifts without principle or purpose.

Sussan Ley presides over a hollowed organisation consumed by factional warfare and paralysed by weakness. What remains is a brand – not a movement.

A small number of figures stand apart: Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Andrew Hastie, Alex Antic, along with the likes of Victoria’s Western Region upper house members Beverley McArthur and Joe McCracken.

They have shown the rare courage to speak their minds, to challenge their own party’s inertia, and to represent the forgotten Australians outside the capital cities. Yet they remain voices of integrity in a party that long ago stopped listening.

Labor, by contrast, survives not through performance but through monopoly. In Victoria, it has governed for 23 of the past 27 years – an astonishing record matched only by its catalogue of scandals, fiscal ruin, and bureaucratic decay.

Under Daniel Andrews, the state became a byword for secrecy, coercion, and economic waste. Jacinta Allan has simply repackaged the same dysfunction in smoother language, presiding over debt, disillusionment, and division.

Federally, Anthony Albanese’s Labor government governs by optics. Each crisis is met with a carefully crafted announcement, each policy failure with another press conference.

As Australians struggle with record cost-of-living pressures, housing shortages, and rising taxation, the Prime Minister spends more time abroad than addressing the despair at home.

On the moral front, both major parties have failed completely. The Liberal Party’s unflinching defence of Israel’s actions in Gaza – acts condemned globally as ethnic cleansing – has stripped it of moral credibility.

Labor’s half-hearted response has been no better. Both have chosen allegiance to global orthodoxy over humanity.

Amid this decay, One Nation is soaring in the polls. Its rise is not accidental – it reflects a growing national rejection of managed decline.

Australians are turning to the party because it speaks plainly about what others fear to confront: protecting borders, restoring energy independence, defending free speech, investing in regional Australia, opposing global censorship regimes, and standing against the digital surveillance state.

While not without imperfections, One Nation has emerged as the genuine voice of sovereignty and self-determination.

The Greens, meanwhile, posture as moral arbiters but have devolved into an ideological cult of virtue signalling. Their environmentalism is performative, their economics punitive, and their social agenda increasingly authoritarian.

They masquerade as defenders of nature while obstructing practical energy solutions, destroy economic opportunity under the guise of equity, and divide Australians into categories of guilt and grievance. Their movement is not ecological – it is ideological.

Economic sovereignty has been one of the greatest casualties of this global alignment. Australia’s farmland, ports, and infrastructure have been sold to foreign powers.

Our energy grids are dictated by international climate treaties. Even housing has become a speculative commodity for offshore investors. Both major parties have reduced the nation to an asset class.

Meanwhile, the digital frontier is becoming the next battleground for freedom. Under the banners of “safety” and “misinformation,” both Labor and Liberal have advanced censorship laws empowering unelected regulators to police public discourse.

The rollout of digital identity frameworks – endorsed by the UN and WEF – threatens to merge personal freedom with state surveillance. The technology that once promised liberation is being repurposed for control.

And through it all, Australia’s media plays its assigned role: filtering reality, manufacturing consent, and insulating the political class from scrutiny.

Funded and influenced by the same corporate and global interests, the press now serves as the narrative wing of the establishment. It silences dissent, protects power, and ensures that Australians hear only what they are permitted to know.

The pattern is unmistakable. Australia is governed not by democracy in practice but by a managerial elite in partnership with transnational institutions. Policy is dictated, not debated. Elections change the actors, never the agenda.

One Nation’s rise marks the beginning of a national correction. Just as Nigel Farage’s Reform UK shattered Britain’s conservative establishment, One Nation’s ascent is reshaping Australian politics from below.

It represents a growing movement of citizens who have simply had enough – of global subservience, economic exploitation, and moral cowardice.

This page has been accused of supporting the Liberal Party because we criticise Labor. That claim is false. We criticise Labor because they govern; we condemn the Liberals because they have surrendered.

Both have betrayed the people they claim to represent, and both have become instruments of global influence rather than national will.

Australia stands at a crossroads. One path leads further into dependency, censorship, and control. The other leads toward renewal – sovereignty, transparency, and the restoration of national dignity.

The question is no longer whether change is coming. It is whether Australia will be ready when it arrives.

Australians have spoken, and it turns out most of us just want to watch the bloody game without getting a lecture first.

A new national survey’s found almost two-thirds of Aussies want Welcome to Country ceremonies dropped from sporting events, and reckon sport’s gone way too politically correct.

Apparently, 77% of us think athletes should stick to playing, not preaching, and 63% say if you won’t sing the anthem, you shouldn’t wear the green and gold.

Even young people are over it. 72% of 18–24-year-olds said they’ve had enough of the political song and dance before kick-off. Guess they’d rather see a goal than a sermon.

Institute of Public Affairs’ Daniel Wild summed it up perfectly: “Play the ball, not the politics.”

The findings land amid growing backlash against Aussie cricket captain Pat Cummins, who recently took heat for backing Albo’s $50 million climate initiative for sporting clubs.

Now, just to be clear, none of this is about having a go at Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. Most Aussies have enormous respect for Indigenous culture and history.

But there’s a time and place for everything, and people are simply saying that sport should be about bringing us together, not dividing us before the first bounce.

At the end of the day, we just want to cheer, yell at the ump, and maybe grab a beer and a feed without being told how to think before the siren sounds.

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has lit up CPAC with a no-holds-barred speech, telling the Liberals to walk away from net-zero, branding it “absurd” and “communism in disguise.”

She said skyrocketing power bills are smashing families and businesses, argued nuclear is the only real fix, and tore into Labor’s migration program for driving housing shortages and straining essential services.

She also pressed for families and cultural identity to be put back at the heart of national policy.

The reaction was fierce. Supporters called her a future leader, critics accused her of reckless rhetoric – but what’s clear is that Price is now carrying the Liberal Party’s relevance almost on her own.

To many voters, the modern Liberals look fractured, leaderless and drifting, while Price is one of only a few cutting through.

That vacuum is giving parties like One Nation space to move, with some conservatives openly suggesting they’re shaping up to be the true opposition to Labor.

The Chaser has managed to do what it does best – faceplant spectacularly while pretending it’s satire.

Instead of writing something clever, the self-styled “comedy” outfit decided the perfect gag would be to mock Charlie Kirk’s assassination mid-speech at Utah Valley University.

Their headline? “R U OK? Day not going well at Turning Point.”

Yep. A bloke gets his neck ventilated on stage and they think the funniest angle is a su***de prevention pun. Not edgy, not witty – just bargain-bin shock jock humour with less punch than a decaf latte.

The article went further, sneering that Kirk’s crew “questioned gun control” before deciding to “stick to their guns after remembering the shooting happened at a school.”

Australians weren’t having a bar of it. Critics called it “objectively unfunny” and “human garbage,” with one quip landing harder than anything in The Chaser’s writers’ room: “Not even ABC Comedy level.” Ouch.

When ABC rejects call you unfunny, you’ve really bottomed out. Predictably, The Chaser slammed the big red button and turned off X comments – which, let’s be real, is the online equivalent of hiding under the doona.

But the circus didn’t stop there. Crikey associate editor Cam Wilson got caught out in leaked messages saying it was “fine to joke about” Kirk’s death and that the conservative was basically responsible for his own demise.

He even mused about MAGA “mass executing the left” but, hey, “let’s be chill.” Yeah, nothing says chill like gleefully meme-ing a bloke’s murder.

The culprit behind the Chaser piece? Editor John Delmenico – the same bloke who once tried to cancel a toothpaste ad for saying “make the White choice.”

So where does this leave us? With a so-called satire outlet that’s less The Onion and more The Shallot – cheap, bitter, and guaranteed to make you cry for the wrong reasons.

Kirk’s assassination was shocking enough without being turned into a punchline by clowns whose humour peaked with “we put a sausage roll in John Howard’s mailbox” two decades ago.

Love him or hate him, Charlie Kirk’s dead. And if your big comedic play is “haha, R U OK? Day, get it?” – maybe it’s time to hang up the typewriter, lads. The joke’s not just on you – the joke is you.
