As you know, I’ve put forward a bill to enshrine free speech in the Constitution. I consistently oppose digital ID, CBDCs, globalist overreach, mass surveillance and policies like social media bans for under 16s that could easily become a backdoor for mass identification. I’m one of the only staunch defenders of civil liberties in the Australian Senate.
My criticism is directed at those who hold strong views on politics and culture but choose to willingly hide behind anonymity.
Let me be blunt, nothing gets better while people are too afraid to speak openly. A society does not improve when its citizens whisper their beliefs from behind anonymous accounts. It stagnates. It decays.
Change requires courage. It requires people to stand up, attach their name to their views, defend them, and refuse to be intimidated into total silence.
Imagine how quickly things would shift if more people had the backbone to say what they truly think out in the open and then stand by it.
I’m not talking about trolls. They’re irrelevant.
I’m talking about ordinary Australians with fair, balanced, well thought out views. You don’t change the country by hiding. You change it by speaking openly, proudly, and without apology so others know they’re not alone.
I’ll talk about it next podcast I’m on.
