The People Say: MAD Must Go

Join our very special trio of experts this Thursday to unpack the proposed Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 (aka MAD Bill), how NERA is getting involved with the ACA on rejecting the Bill, and how YOU can make a difference in saving freedom of speech in this country!

Jody Clune, founder of NERA, will be joined by Katie Ashby-Koppens, (lawyer) who has dedicated her time in recent years to understanding the World Health Organisation’s International Health Regulations, and how our Misinformation and Disinformation Bill is immeshed in the WHO agenda. Jody and Katie will be joined by former MP, and the Australian anchor of Citizen Go, George Christensen.

In a free society, the right to express ideas and opinions without fear of government censorship is fundamental. The proposed MAD Bill risks stifling open dialogue and preventing Australians from accessing diverse viewpoints. We must protect the integrity of what we can say, what we can share, and what we choose to believe. We must stop this Bill...MAD Must Go!

Please join us on Thursday 10th October at 8PM AEDT for this very important conversation and information session. Everyone is welcome, perhaps even bring a friend!
