Can’t agree more, we are led down the dangerous way of totalitarianism which we can see it happening in those so called socialism countries including the one I fled from decades ago !

Bravo Babet .... AGAIN!

Clearly the inherited British system is not only archaic but is BROKEN and unfit for purpose.

Whilstever that system exists, this nation will never advance, let alone reach a practical degree of independence.

It has been abundantly clear to me over the last 4 decades the real reasons BOTH governments are progressively disarming Australians in physical terms and in the laws they create.

Yes - it IS all about safety .... Theirs - Not Yours!

Thank you Senator for all your work. It must seem daunting given the scale of your enemies but your voice is a powerful one!

It won't fly - the political system is owned (and you know it ). Believing that voting will change the paradigm is like believing in the easter bunny . You may be the voice crying in the wilderness , but only divine intervention can stop the looming storm .

So, it will be interesting to see what the Uniparty does with this.

With the hate speech laws they have shown what they are.

They don't want a debate on this hmm?

Pray for them.

Its actually disgusting that not all politicians stand up for freedom of speech. It tells me this parliament is a house full of self serving clowns.

Thank you for your effort serving the people👍

I truly fear for Australia's future, I very much hope this change you propose does happen. The uniparty & greens are the biggest threat to Australia's future. Good luck Senator.

Senator this article is perfect. No wonder Labor wouldn't let you speak. They do not want to lose an open way to control the people. They are a Communist government who, at every opportunity, will act to withdraw more freedoms from us. They are looking for more control and are very quick to try and stop any criticism of themselves or their restrictive policies.

We must not let this happen at any cost. We must get rid of Labor as soon as we can. They are dangerous to our freedom

Thank you Senator Babet for your proposed amendment. Please God it will pass and become law to protect our God given rights that we take for granted. We are definitely on the road to socialism/communism and the majority of people don’t realise just what is happening. God bless you.

just pondering about what section 3 80a is or more precisely where it would fit in our constitution? Possibly it would be s51.40 (cth) - this is important placement in the structure will determine its operability. however, it must also contain remedy that is in case of a breach - what agency is responsible and what is the outcome... as you would be aware there is a continued process of ignoring constitutional provisions as there is mostly no " hard wired" remedy.

Your proposed amendment should also reference our Bill of Rights 1688/89 which is referenced in state legislation (imperial acts application act) however, notably absent from our Constitution.

Could who attend public meetings,events,shows, or join Facebook groups sign a waiver to declare a free speech zone protected from legal action?

I hate that the legal principle of “intent “ has been removed and replaced with an undefined person’s POTENTIAL to experience hurty feelings.

In the Original Australian Constitution as approved by Queen victoria, it clearly states that it cannot be altered in any way except by referendum.

In doing so, it said that parliaments cannot add to law and order except by referendum, as the Constitution and all that it embraces is ONE.

So all these willy nilly legislations and foreign treaties have not been approved by referendum.

All that was law and order in Colonial governments was to be included as law in constitutional laws and standards exactly as defined by the Queen. Anything else would require a referendum.

If these standards had been adhered to, we would not have 50,000 laws to follow with them increasing weekly.

On top of that ... what was not mentioned in the constitution as laws to follow is automatically our freedom rights ... but the government does not want you to know that, as it then means the government can easily reduce in size to only what is needed instead of jobs for the boys.

So we already have freedom of speech as an absolute, and have to uphold that in courts.

BUT ... they dissolved our Common Law Courts without Constitutional approval and installed the unlawful Admiralty British Maritime Law Courts which only ever had jurisdiction on the high seas and on trading ships not connected to a wharf. Once in port, they came under Common law.

So our law system in Australia is a fake farce of monumental dimensions, that has been used by government/politicians to destroy freedoms and rights of the citizens of Australian mankinds.
