Following the Senator Babet win on Tuesday — with everyone (except Labor) backing his motion against digital surveillance disguised as child protection — he and Senator Roberts are stepping up the fight today.
📣 They’ll move to establish a Senate inquiry into the Internet Search Engine Services Online Safety Code.
If successful, the committee will investigate:
⚖️ The heads of authority provided by the Online Safety Act 2021
🔎 The scope and accountability of the e-Safety Commissioner
🏛️ How to ensure proper parliamentary oversight
🗞️ The impacts on freedom of speech and press, with comparisons to the UK and EU
➕ And any other related issues
Australians didn’t vote for a digital surveillance state. It’s time to pull back the curtain.
How will the Senate vote? Only time will tell.
