Australian Government Approves 'Extraordinarily Intrusive' Surveillance Legislation
You would have to be some special type of fool to believe this is about "pedophilia".
I wonder if they will catch all the pedophiles in the Australian parliament that have protection.
Make The Names Known - 28 Pedophiles in Australian Leadership
Did you know that John Howard placed a 90 year suppression order on high profile pedophiles?
Due to those suppression orders the 28 Pedophiles that remain amongst us and possibly in high positions of power are most likely reoffending again and again and again. Even worse facilitating this disgusting acts for others.

The Australian government has approved the Identify and Disrupt Bill 2021, which has been labelled 'unprecedented' and 'extraordinarily intrusive'.
The legislation gives Australian Federal Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission new powers to take control of people's social media accounts without the need for a judge's warrant.
They will be able to modify or delete the data of suspected offenders, collect intelligence on criminal networks, and take control of a suspected offenders' online account.
It's meant to target paedophiles and criminals lurking on the dark web.
AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw has assured the public that the law will be used 'responsibly' to hunt down Australia's worst offenders.
He told 2GB Radio: "They have prolific networks; some of these networks are up to 40,000 paedophiles globally on these servers, and a lot of them are Australians.
"We're the third biggest, sadly, global consumer of child exploitation material."
Even when the legislation passed through the Senate, people were worried about how low of a bar the legislation set if an officer wanted to investigate someone.
Tutanota noted that an officer wouldn't need a judge to grant the warrant and it could instead be issued by a member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
Home affairs minister, Karen Andrews, included a number of amendments to make sure that warrants could only be issued if they were 'reasonably necessary and proportionate', and that it would only last for five days.
However, privacy advocates are concerned about the scope of the legislation and how much power it gives authorities.
Get Up has started a petition to get the bill repealed.
"The AFP can log into your Email, your Facebook, Instagram any other social media, and not only view it but actually alter it however they want," the petition states.
"They can send emails on your behalf, they can post things on your behalf, they can engage in criminal activity on your behalf in order to reach their objective. And if they want to throw you under the bus, you're just collateral damage.
"This will not only turn Australia into a bigger surveillance state, but it will make the government the enemy of Australians."
Kieran Pender, the senior lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre, also told Guardian Australia that the powers 'are unprecedented and extraordinarily intrusive, they should have been narrowed to what is strictly necessary and subject to robust safeguards'.
Pirate Party Australia Treasurer, John August, added: "This latest bill has bypassed recommendations about oversight, and also stands in the Dark Shadow of past Government abuse. While they talk about the 'Dark Web', it's amazing how 'Dark' they themselves have become."
The legislation grants anyone who assists with government hacking protection from civil liability and anyone who refuses to comply can face up to 10 years behind bars.
A state in Australia is testing a new app that would help the government track residents to ensure they are obeying COVID-19 quarantine orders.
The government of South Australia has begun a trial of the Home Quarantine SA, an app that The Atlantic calls "as Orwellian as any in the free world."
Australians will download an app on their cellphone that features facial recognition and geolocation. The South Australian government will randomly contact the user to check if they are at their approved quarantine location. Users will have 15 minutes to take a photo of their face. If the quarantining individual fails to reply within 15 minutes, a police officer will be sent to "check" on the person.
The Americans can talk??! From the Atlantic.
Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty
How long can a democracy maintain emergency restrictions and still call itself a free country?

Australia has had 471 deaths from the "vaccines" while 98 have died WITH covid-19
COVID-19 vaccine weekly safety report - 05-08-2021
Release date
Vaccination against COVID-19 is one of the most effective ways to reduce severe illness and death from infection. Two COVID-19 vaccines are currently in use in Australia – AstraZeneca and Comirnaty (Pfizer). Like all medicines, the vaccines can have side effects (also known as adverse events). The overwhelming majority of these are mild and resolve within a few days. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) closely monitors suspected side effects. Importantly, adverse events reported to the TGA are often not caused by the vaccine itself. Learn more about causality.

-
To 1 August 2021, approximately 12.4 million vaccine doses have been given in Australia – 8.4 million first doses and 4 million second doses.
-
The TGA is continually monitoring the safety of the COVID-10 vaccines. The most frequently reported side effects suspected to be associated with the vaccines reflect what was seen in the clinical trials and include injection-site reactions such as a sore arm, and more general symptoms such as headache, muscle pain, fever and chills.
-
We are closely monitoring rare reports of blood clots with low blood platelets (also called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia or TTS) following the AstraZeneca vaccine.
-
Three additional cases of blood clots with low blood platelets have been assessed as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) likely to be linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine. When assessed using the United Kingdom (UK) case definition, 2 were confirmed and one was deemed probable TTS. Sadly, a 34-year-old woman from NSW died yesterday from confirmed TTS following a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. The TGA extends its sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones. We are in close communication with NSW health who are undertaking further investigation of this case.
-
The TGA is also closely monitoring reports of suspected immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) following the AstraZeneca vaccine and reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following the Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine.
-
The protective benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 far outweigh the potential risks of vaccination.

So, what is to be? Is the TGA report "medical misadventure"?Seems pretty unambiguous to me.
