One Nation Takes a Stand: Killing the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill

This afternoon in the Australian Senate, Senator Malcolm Roberts dropped a bombshell by moving a motion to finally kill the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill once and for all. Co-sponsored by Senator Pauline Hanson, this decisive move underscores One Nation’s unwavering commitment to protecting free speech.

On Monday morning, the battle lines will be drawn. The vote will reveal which Senators stands for Australia and who sides with censorship. The Greens are flip-flopping, and many Senators haven’t even declared their final decision. Don’t be surprised if some Liberals vote with Labor, as suggested recently in an X post by Senator Roberts.

Let’s not forget: the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill wasn’t first thought of by Labor. It was drafted by the previous Liberal government and later introduced by Labor. The only reason the Liberals oppose it now is because Labor wouldn’t back their version of this anti-free-speech legislation during the Morrison era.

Since Labor came to power, One Nation has been the only party consistently standing firm against their relentless assault on free speech. We’ve protested, rallied, and led the charge across Australia to protect this fundamental right. In 2023, we hosted a Free Speech Conference and released the Brisbane Declaration—a manifesto for preserving freedom of expression.

Unlike Labor and the Liberals, One Nation doesn’t just talk about free speech—we act on it. Senator Roberts’ motion to kill this bill is yet another example of our dedication to the Australian people. It’s a true One Nation move: fighting for justice, defending what’s right, and safeguarding our freedoms.

But we’re not stopping here. One Nation is taking our freedom agenda to the next federal election. We’ll be asking Australians to help us secure more Senate seats so we can continue to block dangerous bills like this one and champion the rights of everyday Aussies.

When it comes to protecting free speech, One Nation is the only party Australians can trust. Labor and the Liberals? They’ve proven time and time again that they just don’t care.

Make no mistake: Monday’s vote isn’t just about a bill—it’s about the future of free speech in Australia. One Nation will always stand with you in this fight.
