The BEST way to rebel against an oppressive government? China's youth "Let it Rot" (Bai lan)

Mutiny In China - Youth is giving up on life "Let it Rot", CCP worried

Governments truly do not care about the general population/serfs, especially the ones that officially flourish on slave labour, dictatorships like China or Nth Korea as an example, where it is seen that life is cheap, quite literally.

All governments are about is their 'economy', GDP and other metrics that define how hard the slaves work.

The Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, single-handedly destroyed his nation's economy with controversial actions and policies.

The Chinese youth were astute enough to act en masse, against the policies that are aimed at them, their health and well-being and their future.

On a side-note, a chart from 2016 that shows the most unaffordable home prices of 17 cities, Australian cities occupy 3 positions indicating that Australia is also under a similar (deliberate) 'failure of government'.

The Australian government is already showing signs of China's 9-9-6 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) work policy, with the extension of twilight work hours in Melbourne.

Government slave-driving for the 'economy' - Melbourne city retailers encouraged to adopt Twilight Trade

It's a pity Chairman Dan (Andrews) didn't see this while in office.

Meta also censors this video on its Facebook asset, meaning it censors documentaries exposing corrupt governments and the truth.

The Chinese government, welded apartment complexes' exit doors, not allowing people to get food, breaching the Human Rights of residents BUT the world did nothing about it. 

Apple is another global corporation that supports China's slave labour policy, in fact Apple banks on it.

See 2hr documentary:

ANY chance of the Australian youth waking up? NOPE!

The tyrants in Australia's governments are safe for quite some time.

Meta’s fascist ways – “YOUR PAPERS, please!”


The online world is under a fascist state that would make Mussolini proud.

For those of you who are not familiar with fascism, here is a brief description as documented within  Wikipedia:

Fascism (FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and/or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Meta’s asset, Facebook now requires its users or data generating slaves to supply government issued ‘papers’ or ID in order to use this data hoovering platform.

As part of the new world order policy of digital identity/age verification, it has nothing to do with safety or alleged prevention of exploitation material, but rather tying your online personality to your ‘legal person’.

Meta cannot be trusted with ANY user identifiable data, where it is to your detriment to provide this 'data advertising' corporation with your 'private and confidential' records.

Meta also works with the Five Eyes global surveillance network, again to your detriment.

One way to minimise data gathering is to use a Personal Computer with a privacy focused browser through a VPN or other means or masking your IP address.


This does not sit well with Meta, as this method does not associate the online persona to a (smartphone) device, which has unique identifiers such as IMEI/IMSI and device serial number, which then can be tied to your 'legal person'.

The 'device' that Meta wants you to use is your smartphone which has a Google or Apple ID enabled also tied in with your mobile provider.

IF you do not log in via a smartphone, Meta will then falsely claim that someone has been trying to hack into your account


'LUCKY' you didn't provide any of your real 'private and confidential' data, aye?

Then you have to go through the steps


to give Meta


your government(?) issued photo id, which is a powerful piece of information


where they then can do whatever they like with it.

What will be the consequences for Meta, when they get hacked?

Negligible, obviously?

Other benefits of using the Meta app on your smartphone is that Meta obtains your entire contacts list together with your phone and SMS history together with other pieces of information such as location which again is used against you.

Make no mistake about it; Meta's assets work against you and your privacy!

Why did Zuckerberg have tape over his laptop's camera?


"Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" right?

Immigration Restriction Act 1901

This Act, known as the Immigration Restriction Act, was passed by the Australian Parliament in 1901. It is headed ‘An Act to place certain restrictions on Immigration and to provide for the removal from the Commonwealth of prohibited Immigrants’.

The Immigration Restriction Act 1901 is a landmark document of the first parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. The six Australian colonies were governed by separate parliaments until Federation in 1901, when the Australian Government was formed.

This Act was a key part of a package of legislation designed to restrict the immigration and settlement of non-European people in Australia. The package also included:

  • the Pacific Islander Labourers Act 1901, which restricted the entry of Pacific Islanders to Australia
  • section 15 of the Post and Telegraph Act 1901, which required that ships carrying Australian mail use only white labour.

Dictation test

Section 3(a) of the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 defined ‘prohibited immigrants’ as those who fail to pass a dictation test of 50 words in a European language. This test became the key means of restricting immigration to Australia for over 50 years.

Government slave-driving for the 'economy' - Melbourne city retailers encouraged to adopt Twilight Trade


City of Melbourne traders should respond to changing consumer behaviour by extending core trading hours, creating a link between the daytime and night-time economy a new report by leading peak body Australian Retailers Association (ARA) has found.

Commissioned by the City of Melbourne and Victorian Government, the ARA report recommends widespread adoption of twilight trading hours in Melbourne CBD.

ARA CEO Paul Zahra said a shift in pedestrian foot traffic creates a compelling case for change to encourage more retailers to trade after 5.00pm.

“We know that global shopping destinations seamlessly weave retail into the fabric of the city, with vibrant retail offerings and trading hours that allow customers to shop when they want to shop,” said Mr Zahra.

“This report confirms there is more unmet consumer demand in Melbourne city after 5pm than before 10am which reflects a shift in pedestrian foot traffic in recent years.

“While we know that some of our larger members have already responded positively to this change in consumer behaviour, the report also confirms that not all retailers have embraced this opportunity and are potentially missing out on sales.

“To realise the full potential of this time of the day, we need to a co-ordinated approach that actively encourages more retailers to trade in line with other global cities – 10am to 7pm Sunday to Wednesday and 10am to 9pm Thursday to Saturday.

“From our research, we see strong levels of support for Twilight Trade, but we also see some reluctance for individual retailers to extend hours in isolation.

“That is why we have done this research – to give retailers some confidence about extending their core trading hours. And that’s why we are taking a leadership role in convincing more retailers to come on board.

“We also know how weekends and time with friends and family is important. So being able to spend time to go from shopping to dinner to seeing a show or movie and then perhaps onto a bar or club means that the whole city needs to be open for business.”

City of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp AO said Melbourne’s twilight economy is significant.

“Melbourne’s twilight economy is booming – with foot traffic increasing in the city by up to 35 per cent after 6pm, as Melburnians clock off and make the most of our world-class retail, food and entertainment.
“We’re encouraging city retailers to take full advantage of this change in consumer behaviour – shifting their opening hours to reflect when city visitors want to shop

“We’ll continue to support businesses with the latest data to embrace the city’s new rhythm, boost the local economy and improve the visitor experience,” said the Lord Mayor.

Centre Manager at Melbourne Central, Denis Ryan, said twilight trading hours align with the changing lifestyle patterns and evolving needs of shoppers and retailers.

“Melbourne boasts a dynamic and vibrant nightlife, and with Melbourne Central at the heart of the city, our retailers play a critical role in activating a core retail offering at times that are most convenient for shoppers, residents, office workers, students and tourists.

“We endorse a collaborative approach that supports the local business community and amplifies the city’s ability to provide a thriving retail and experiential precinct where people can come together for longer periods, which ultimately leads to economic benefit and community development.”

The ARA will run a series of information sessions through April 2024 to talk to retailers about the case for change and encourage more retailers to adopt twilight trading hours.

The ARA’s report, along with more information for consumers and businesses, is available at retail.org.au/twilight-trade.

  • using any threat, deception or misrepresentation to obtain consent to enter a private residence
  • refusing to leave a private residence or workplace when asked to do so
  • exposing or threatening to expose a person or a member of that person’s family to ridicule or intimidation
  • using a document that looks like an official document but is not
  • impersonating a government employee or agent
  • attempting or threatening to possess any property to which you are not entitled. For example, when collecting a debt, you must not say you are going to seize a home or other property that you cannot legally take
  • disclosing or threatening to disclose debt information, without the debtor’s consent, to any person who does not have a legitimate interest in the information
  • making a false or misleading representation regarding the nature or extent of a debt, or the consequences of not paying a debt. For example:

    • threatening to make a false or misleading credit report.
  • contacting a person by a method that they have asked not to be used, unless there is no other means available. For example, you must not contact a debtor at their workplace when they have asked to be contacted only at home, or contact them directly when they have asked that all communications be handled by their lawyer or financial counsellor
  • contacting a person about a debt after they have advised in writing that no further communication should be made about that debt. This applies unless you: 
    • contact the debtor through an action issued by a court or VCAT
    • are threatening the debtor with court or VCAT action that the creditor intends to take
    • are communicating with the person to comply with a requirement under the National Credit Code. For more information, visit Credit - ASIC.
  • communicating with a person under 18 about a debt, if the person is not the debtor
  • demanding payment of a debt from someone without having a reasonable belief that they are the debtor. For example, demanding payment from every ‘J Smith’ who resides in a suburb in an attempt to collect a debt owed by John Smith
  • communicating with a person in a manner that is unreasonable in its frequency, nature or content.

“Stay away from Indian builders” Australia’s other hidden ‘Housing Crisis’


Most people should be aware of the ‘housing’ crisis, in the form of rentals and sales was a deliberate action caused by the federal government from ‘over’ importation of immigrants Australians truly do not need, as pointed out in government hansards.

The government basically screwed over Aussies, sound familiar?

The government created the problem, where now allegedly they’re going to fix it with whatever number of residences being built, which is an unobtainable figure, as dissected by industry experts. 

With the policy of over importation, comes another agenda that being the deliberate letting through low quality immigrants from a few selected places, including criminals, who will continue their criminal activities in this colony, meaning more business for the legal system, especially the courts in order to justify their existence.  

A recent example of corporate criminals allowed to conduct business, as this increases the government's coffers, due to tax raised is the allowing of Uber to flourish in Australia.

As a result people were harmed, where they had to take action, which was MORE ‘business’ for the legal community.

AS the saying goes; “It’s legal until you get caught”, and even then, if your ‘brethren’ have got your back, all is good.

Australia has a plague of (imported) low quality Uber/Uber Eats drivers that ‘we’ the people, never really asked for nor need, given the fact that we have so many unemployed Australians, irrespective of the ‘official’ figure, as this figure is doctored.

The government makes it really easy and quick for people to generate the tax dollars (for the fat cats in government) in the building industry.

One can be a low quality person, you know low moral values, low work etiquette, low quality worker  and after a few week course obtain a ‘builder’s’ certification in order to start generating the tax dollars for the government, after all, it’s ALL about the ‘economy’.

Got to keep the serfs busy, generating revenue for the government!

Australia’s home or residence building industry is facing a crisis on a couple of fronts at least, as a result of deliberate government actions that screw over Australians.

Putting aside the financial aspect of housing which is the focus of the mainstream media, the other very important ‘crisis’ created is that many many residences are of low quality, poor execution, even the ones marketed as ‘boutique’ or 'high end’ dwellings.

This is especially prevalent in the ‘build to rent’ market by so called ‘developers’.

MANY established builders of good quality dwellings would not be prepared to come forward in stating for the ‘public record’ that the building industry is rife with low quality workers from India, that truly do not care for the quality of the residence that ‘Aussies’ will occupy.

‘Australian Standards’, which is another farce for another time, or builder’s guarantees, don’t matter, as they don’t care, where there are too many ‘horror’ stories to mention, which are outside of the scope for this post.

Real Estate agents are dodgy at the best of times, BUT they also ‘support’ the dodgy building industry by covering up the faults of the flats, town houses, apartments that are inherently ‘defective’ that they are selling, in order to make those sales figures.

City Councils significant contributors to the problem

Australians are over administered, by the ‘third tier’ or rather the ‘no tier’ of government.

Australians are misled that city councils are a law making authority, which they are not.

There are only two legal law making entities, that being federal and state parliaments.

The current businesses referred to as city councils are technically ‘unconstitutional’ where they should be a department of state.

So, very briefly, 

- ‘City councils’ or rather ‘municipal offices’ must function as a department of the state, which current ‘local government’ does not, where it operates as a ‘business’.

- In Victoria, city councils allegedly obtain their power from the Local Government Act of 1989, which in turn is subject to Victoria’s Constitution from 1975, but are these Acts in circulation lawfully?

Documents tendered to the County Court of Victoria state that the short answer is, No, where there should be a class action lawsuit against city council in each state.

SO, these ‘city councils’ are in cahoots with the dodgy building industry in play at the moment, approving plans, inspections, and final reports that realistically should not pass, where bribery is also rife and part of a ‘normal’ business day.

Approximately 15 years ago, Brimbank City Council was ‘sacked’, but they were the only ones.

MANY more should have fallen, but didn’t.

One of the reasons why they haven’t fallen is that the public would have ‘no confidence’ in government, and the authorities can’t have a bar of that!

So the lies and deceit are kept alive, together with a total lack of ‘investigative’ journalism by the mainstream media, which is another deliberate policy.


City councils have a zero care factor about the quality of workmanship that goes into the buildings, where the priority is to get the premises built, or order to TAX the residents, where if any problems are brought out from the ‘woodwork’ then the people can deal with them to much distress of the owners/renters.

At the end of the (business) day, the colony called Australia, is a corporate criminal’s paradise, especially if one is supported by the ‘brotherhood’.

Uber admits breaking the law when it launched in Australia

Rideshare giant Uber has admitted illegally setting up operations in Australia, as it faces a multimillion-dollar lawsuit over claims it used secret spyware to lure drivers to try to “crush” its local rival.

Australian taxi-booking app GoCatch sued the American tech giant over allegations it engaged in corporate espionage and used secret spyware to lure drivers.

Australian taxi-booking app GoCatch sued the American tech company over allegations it engaged in corporate espionage and used secret spyware to lure drivers in a bid to “crush” its Sydney-based rival.

GoCatch, which was once backed by billionaire James Packer and investment banker Alex Turnbull, also alleged Uber was operating illegally when it launched its UberX ridesharing service in several Australian states in 2014.

A Victorian Supreme Court trial was on Tuesday told Uber had for the first time admitted it was breaking the law when it began operations in Australia.

“Uber has been consistently reluctant, in fact, refused to acknowledge this reality that it was illegal,” GoCatch lawyer Michael Hodge KC said in his opening remarks.

“They have done so until this statement of agreed facts.”

Ridesharing was legalised in NSW in December 2015, followed by other states, and Mr Hodge said the court needed to consider the significance of Uber’s 20-month headstart when assessing damages.

Uber is also accused of stealing GoCatch taxi drivers — who were accredited and booked via a mobile app — by employing “Surfcam” spyware which enabled the company to obtain details, including names and phone numbers.

Internal emails reveal then Uber Australia boss David Rohrsheim discussed wanting to “destroy” and “crush” GoCatch before they became “too legit”.

“I got my hands on a list of all GoCatch driver phone numbers. We are aggressively cold calling (without disclosing how we got their number) and won 56 of their drivers,” he said in an email from 2014.

“The inescapable conclusion is that GoCatch in particular is reaching critical mass and we now have a low-cost competitor to deal with,” he said in a different email.

Another employee stated: “Go Catch is *the* reason we’re launching taxi in Sydney. F--k those guys.”

Uber is also accused of misleading regulators, going as far as using an electronic “kill switch” to hide records while a search warrant was being carried out — a claim the company denies. 

GoCatch co-founder Andrew Campbell says it has been a ‘long process’ but he is glad the case has been brought to trial.

GoCatch co-founder Andrew Campbell said it had been a “long process” but he was glad the case had been brought to trial.

“Uber has never accepted responsibility for its conduct towards GoCatch. Uber’s first priority was to win at any cost using any method to destroy us as a competitive threat,” he said in a statement.

“We are fortunate to be in a position to go to Court as we believe that is the only pathway for Uber to be held accountable.”

In a statement, Uber, whose opening remarks are expected later in the trial, rejected any suggestion that it should be liable for the failure of other businesses to adapt to an “emerging competitive landscape”.

 “Uber is a fundamentally different business today than we were a decade ago. Since then, we have made significant changes to our leadership and how we conduct business, taking seriously our responsibility to be a collaborative, contributing industry leader,” it said.

Last month Uber, which is headquartered in San Francisco, settled a $272m class action with 8000 Australian taxi operators amid claims they had lost income after the company began illegally operating in Australia.

The civil trial, which is expected to run for 10 weeks before Justice Lisa Nichols, continues.

New class action filed against Medibank

Australian private health insurance giant Medibank is set to face additional proceedings, with a global law firm bringing a shareholder action for alleged breach of continuous disclosure obligations pertaining to purported non-disclosures about deficiencies in the company’s cyber security defences.

This afternoon (Wednesday, 29 March), Medibank (ASX: MPL) announced to the market that it was served with class action proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria, months after one of the biggest data privacy breaches in Australia’s history.

The proceedings are on behalf of shareholders who acquired interests in the health insurance provider between 1 July 2019 and 19 October 2022 and are being brought by global plaintiff firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.

On the website set up by the firm for shareholders to register for the class action, Quinn Emanuel outlined that its claim against the health insurance provider arises from the breach of “substantial volumes of data” from Medibank’s network, including the personal and health claims data of customers being accessed by one or more hackers.

“The stolen data was later publicly released via the dark web,” the firm noted.

“Briefly and in broad terms”, the firm is alleging that, prior to the breach late last year, “Medibank was ‘aware’ of information concerning deficiencies in its cyber security systems, [and] by failing to disclose that information to the Australian Securities Exchange, Medibank breached the continuous disclosure obligations imposed on it by provisions of the Corporations Act”.

Moreover, Quinn Emanuel continued, “the failure to disclose the information caused the market price of Medibank shares to be inflated so that investors purchased those shares at a price which was greater than what they would otherwise have paid”.

Medibank noted that it intends to defend the proceedings.

The news follows the filing of a class action against Medibank by fellow global law firm Baker McKenzie, in conjunction with litigation funder Omni Bridgeway, in February.

It also follows the decision by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Bannister Law Class Actions, and Centennial Lawyers to join forces on an action to secure compensation for consumers in mid-January.

The joint proceedings followed the launching of an investigation by Maurice Blackburn in mid-November (which became an officially launched proceeding in December) and by Bannister Law and Centennial Lawyers in early November.

The cyber breach late last year involved highly personal information of millions of Medibank customers, including names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, some Medicare and passport numbers and in some cases, sensitive healthcare information, including codes associated with diagnosis and medical procedures.

“Health claims data for around 160,000 Medibank customers, around 300,000 ahm customers, and around 20,000 international customers [were accessed]. This includes service provider name and location, where customers received certain medical services, and codes associated with diagnosis and procedures administered,” the provider said at the time.

“Additionally, around 5,200 My Home Hospital (MHH) patients have had some personal and health claims data accessed, and around 2,900 next of kin of these patients have had some contact details accessed.”

WARNING: Data collected by Coles and Woolworths leading to unfair market


Toowoomba mother Tammie Irons says her weekly shop has been getting more expensive.

The weekly shop for Toowoomba mother Tammie Irons, like many Australians, has been getting increasingly expensive.

She said feeding her teenagers was a struggle and she often spent more than $300 a week on groceries.

"They eat a lot more than younger children … I also have two coeliac boys, so the price of groceries is becoming increasingly more expensive for us," Ms Irons said.

To help cut down the cost of shopping, Ms Irons uses the Woolworths loyalty program.

"By the time I get to Christmas, I've got around $150 or so off my shop, which I really appreciate," she said.

But critics have raised concerns the massive amount of data being collected is helping further expand the power the two supermarket giants have in Australia.

What data do the supermarkets collect?

 More than 85 per cent of Australians belong to at least one loyalty program.

Coles and Woolworths operate the Flybuys and Everyday Rewards loyalty schemes respectively.

The schemes collect data from customers, including "what, how, when and where you buy from us", according to the Woolworths privacy policy.

The data is used in a number of ways, including personalised marketing and for insights on customer behaviour.

Coles said the data could also be used to "protect our lawful interests and facilitate purchases or our businesses", while Woolworths cited "investigations in cases of fraud or data security risks" as a possible use.

Data control

Queensland Fruit and Vegetables Growers (QFVG) said the data held by the two big supermarkets gave them immense power over producers.

CEO Rachel Chambers said the data, combined with the use of supply agreements with growers, allowed supermarkets to control the supply and demand of fresh produce.

The agreements, as outlined in submissions to the Senate inquiry on supermarket prices from Coles and Woolworths, see growers and supermarkets negotiate each week on the prices of fruit and vegetables.

The prices are affected by factors including market availability and the volumes needed, with each party given the right to reduce costs or adjust the amount of produce needed on any given week.

 Rachel Chambers says big data is giving supermarkets an unfair advantage over growers.

In its submission to the Senate inquiry, the QFVG said the supermarkets' control of data gave them the ability to negotiate lower prices with growers and thus create an unfair market.

"They understand exactly what the consumer buys, basically, on a day-to-day basis, their data is so intense," Ms Chambers said.

Ms Chambers said she believed many people were unaware their data was contributing to such a power imbalance.

"Data can also be used as a power source. Who owns the data owns the world.

"The data asymmetry, the power imbalance, sits within the data."

The QFVG has called for a greater discussion about the collection of data and how imbalances can be addressed.

It suggested periodic price data be provided to an independent body to act as a watchdog over the market.


In statements provided to the ABC, Woolworths said it was standard practice for businesses to look at previous sales to help predict future demand and that it was investing millions of dollars in advertising to promote Australian produce.

Coles said it used data to inform its ordering requirements to ensure produce was available to customers at any given time and at affordable prices.

Doubling down

Coles and Woolworths are both doubling down on big data – Coles earlier this year signed a deal with US defence company Palantir to "optimise its workforce", while Woolworths purchased data company Quantium in 2021 for $223 million.

"It's part of a broader move that both Australian chains are making to move towards a sort of more data-driven, high-data-collection kind of way of doing business," University of Queensland research fellow Luke Munn said.

He said the millions of data points supermarkets collected gave them "a pretty personalised profile" of customers, allowing them to better market goods.

"It's a Faustian pact, because customers give up their privacy, but maybe some customers would think that's worth it for getting sort of customised offers," he said.

Dr Munn said he believed the trend showed the supermarkets were acting more like tech companies with an emphasis on cutting costs.

"Emphasising inexpensive technology means that you're not investing in worker salaries, you're not investing in cheaper groceries — it's a choice that has pretty large implications," he said.

Competition concerns

Consumer group Choice said the data held by Coles and Woolworths was helping to push smaller players out of the market, by allowing them to better target consumers with advertising.

 Choice data advocate Kate Bowers says more regulation is needed to protect consumers' privacy.

"What we can see is unfairness that is happening so that customers are not necessarily getting the best deals, but also smaller players are not able to compete on price," Choice consumer data advocate Kate Bower said.

"Smaller independent supermarkets are mostly reliant on foot traffic and traditional advertising to attract customers, making it very hard to win customers from the majors."

Choice has also expressed concerns about "opaque" data-sharing practices by both the supermarket loyalty programs.

"The privacy policies use vague terms such as data partners or business partners that make it difficult for consumers to know who their information is actually being shared with," Ms Bower said.

Choice has called on the federal government to implement greater privacy protections and for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to examine the consequences of big data on the retail industry.

Small business impact

Indea Weisfelt and Damon Atkinson said the data held by Coles and Woolworths made it a challenge for their small business to compete.

The couple, who run an online service providing produce direct from farmers in Toowoomba, said the supermarkets had a major advantage when negotiating with growers.

"They've got a lot of leverage over the growers," Mr Atkinson said.

"They've got a lot of data that they collect too from the customer, so they know when people are likely to buy certain products and how much.

"We don't have that same leverage over growers. We don't want to. We ask our growers to set a price with us that they're comfortable with."

Damon Atkinson says it is difficult for small businesses to compete with Coles and Woolworths.

Ms Weisfelt said she was worried what the overall impact Coles and Woolworths would have on the agricultural sector.

"[In] the six years that we've been in this industry, there's been dozens of growers pack up and leave the industry," she said. "To us, that's really scary.

"It's becoming harder to source produce, prices are getting more expensive, because there's less on the market.

"Because these big supermarkets are undercutting these farmers, they're leaving the industry because it's not sustainable for them anymore."

Whistleblower protections ZERO, ‘alleged’ criminals in government, protected 100%


Why would anyone truly believe that the lawmakers would make law against their ‘brethren’ in government, encouraging the exposing of corruption or illegal, oops ‘alleged’ corruption or illegal activities?

They wouldn’t!

The Public Interest Disclosure Act 2013, allegedly gives protections to those exposing corruption, but the reality is totally different.

See Act within the following link:

https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2013A00133/latest/text


The Act is structured in such a way that Attorney-General’s Deportment, Review of Secrecy Provision, Final Report states the following:

“the Review’s view is that the disclosure of information that harms the effective working of government undermines the Australian community’s trust in government and the ability of Commonwealth departments and agencies to deliver policies and programs. It is appropriate that conduct which causes or is likely to cause prejudice to the effective working government be captured.”

See link to the Review of Secrecy Provisions, Final Report, 21 Nov 2023 within the link:

https://www.ag.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-11/secrecy-provisions-review-final-report.pdf

Notice how in the first sentence, it is stated that it is the “Review’s” view, an inanimate object and not a person or author by name.

In the old days did they state that it is the pencil’s view or typewriter’s view?

The above highlighted text can be read as: 

if you knew what we do behind closed doors, you’d NEVER trust us again! So let’s cover up any sort of exposé.

What a pathetic government!

In any event, since the burden of proof is on the accuser, if one was to be prosecuted under said Act, then the First question would be; Is that Act in circulation lawfully, as opposed to legally, or a Section 78B (of the Judiciary Act 1903).

Australia, the secretive police state.

The system is not broken, it’s functioning exactly the way the law makers want it to.
