The Liberal party have officially announced its trolling policy. From Scott Morrison’s statement:

“As a dad I know firsthand how anxious parents feel about what their kids see and do online and the dangers the internet can bring,” Mr Morrison said.

“Online trolls have no place in Australia and I promise to bring in new laws to protect our kids and keep our community safe.

“No one should be subjected to vile abuse and harassment whether they are in the online or offline world.

“We need the law to keep pace with technology and I want to ensure the courts reflect community expectations about the seriousness of online harassment, abuse and crime.”

Penalties for online abuse and harassment will be strengthened in line with community expectations that online crime should be treated as seriously as offline crime and will include:

· Maximum penalties for certain offences will be increased, including for those using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence under section 474.17 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 from three years’ imprisonment to five years’ imprisonment.

If Big Brother says that it is abuse then it's abuse.

So what happens if I get abusive with somebody here? Does Australia try to extradite me? Does the policy apply if an Aussie is abusive towards a foreigner? This policy can't be enforced consistently and is very jacked up. It will be filtered by politics just like "hate crimes".

It means that you can't quote the Bible
as Israel Folau did:

Yes Tex I suspect it’s very arbitrary.

Remember people this is coming from our so-called conservative Party. Wherever possible, vote for Pauline Hanson or Fraser Anning. Because the ALP/greens will do far worse.

That's not abusive. That's a religious opinion. Take it up with the author of the Bible. Are they going to outlaw Christianity? Will this also apply to Islam? I think we all agree that this is nuts.

It's weird how we are expected to swear on the Bible in court
but if we quote from it
we can lose our job or get up to 5 years jail.
Go figure?

So on the one hand we have Shorten stating that he will beef up 18c (to appease islam)....
and on the other hand we have Morrison stating he will increase penalties for online offences.
Looks like we are in a lose/ lose situation...commonly called a crossfire...from which there are no winners.
Prepare for freedom of speech to be totally destroyed people....
Canada has blasphemy laws...you cant say boo in the UK without being arrested....
Australia will be next....
Orwell was right...the Thought Police are at the door....
