AACS are also concerned about the Greens policy position towards independent Christian Schools. Thanks Graham Catt for highlighting this important issue for the upcoming federal election.
Independent schools are preparing to launch a nationwide campaign in Greens and marginal electorates calling out the ‘relentless and baseless vilification’ of private schools.
Could this post be cancelled as "disinformation" under the Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill? The proposed law would give the Australian Communications and Media Authority powers to require digital communications platform providers to manage the perceived risk that "misinformation" and "disinformation" poses on digital communications platforms in Australia. AACS have significant concerns about the overall effect of the Bill on the free dissemination of ideas in the public sphere – in particular, religious speech and debate. The Bill would place significant constraints on digital communications platform providers and incentivises them to over-censor content on the possibility that it might be “harmful”.
