COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (ABN: 122 104 616)
Australia's Prime Minister (CEO) Tony Abbott : "Australia is Open for Business"
It’s back to 1788, where Australia is into importing criminals (hasn’t it always?), and the ‘best’ part about it, is that it’s not going to stop, after all the courts need more ‘customers’, right?
But that’s not always the case where some are allowed to get away with criminal activity.
Information has been provided from a source close to the matter on the condition of anonymity as that person’s livelihood will be at stake if the source is identified or too many identifiable parameters point to the source.
A person who recently immigrated to Australia in order to commit fraud (a common occurrence nowadays), defrauded Aussie taxpayers well into seven figures, where how will not be disclosed as the source could be exposed.
When a so called investigation was launched the ‘private’ company’s case worker was implicated together with their customer.
A phone call was made to the NDIS funds recipient, where that person pretty much immediately packed their bags and fled the colony, meaning Australia to a country which will not be disclosed as again the source could be identified.
The one that got away, or so one would think.
‘Normally’ most people would call this a ‘failure of government’ but in reality that person was ‘allowed’ to escape.
What’s worse, is that person was not only allowed back into the colony, but no repercussions from criminal activity ever saw that light of day in a courtroom.
NOTHING!
This is just one unknown (to the public), example of how pathetic the government and police are, ‘allowing’ people to get away with ripping off taxpayers, while others who travel (allegedly) 3km/h over the speed limit will get pursued by the law to the n-th degree and in many cases unlawfully.
Donald Horne was right that Australia is run by second rate people, where that opinion was formed in the mid 1960's where now they're much lower than 'second' rate.
Another pathetic 'Failure of Government' is that 'Puneet Puneet' has not faced the criminal charge of a hit-and-run of university student Dean Hofstee in 2009, after fleeing to India.
After all Australia has to keep the Indian PM happy with importing 500,000 dalits per annum into the colony.
Note: NDIS, VicPol, etc ‘Files’ are articles of fraud or corruption that have not made it out into the public news media.
Australia is not a "Lucky Country", sorry Donald Horne, it's factually still a (self governing) colony where it won't take long to find that in the Constitution.
It may have been 'lucky' at one stage where it was "run mainly by second-rate people", but for quite a while now, it is deliberately 'mismanaged' by total scum in office that are also destroying Australian people's quality of life, more on that for another article.
Also, Australia has become authoritarian state with elements of a totalitarian régime.
It also has other elements such as fascism, oligarchy and nepotism just to spice things up a little.
The colony's police forces are corrupt, that just plain and simple.
They do not act honourably a lot of the time and criminally on too many occasions.
It's really up to the public to catch them out and take them to court, but the problem is that the officers rarely pay out of their own pocket but rather the tax payers are slugged with any compensation payouts.
"The system is broken" is a deliberately false narrative, where it's actually functioning quite perfectly, the way the lawmakers have set it up.
The Anglo-Masonic set-up legal system looks after its own making it deliberately difficult and expensive for the general population to claim any wrong doing by the police.
IF police were to pay out of their own pockets like the plebs do then there would a a whole lot less if not ZERO police corruption.
The mainstream only reports what they are allowed to and not nearly enough of what really goes on.
In any event this is one story the public is allowed to know about:
He’s a tradie and she sells booze online. But this ordinary couple are
stuck on a secret watchlist typically reserved for gangsters until 2038.
A suburban couple have
claimed in court that a NSW Police officer helped “fabricate” a domestic
violence complaint that spiralled into them being placed on a secret
watchlist.
Jarrod and Kathleen Davies claim a “trumped-up”
apprehended domestic violence order (ADVO) was levelled against Jarrod
after he had first reported an alleged assault on his gravely ill father
in early 2023.
It is alleged in a statement of claim before the
NSW Supreme Court that a policeman assisted Mr Davies’ relative – who
was accused of the assault – to then create a false DV complaint against
Jarrod.
More than 100 text messages and calls lasting up to 45 minutes were
exchanged between the cop and the relative – who are also related to
each other – in the days after the assault allegation in February 2023,
the Davies’ lawsuit claims.
Ms Davies, who runs a boutique alcohol
business, and her husband, who works in transport for the construction
industry, claim they were later placed under surveillance and labelled
“violent, dangerous and paranoid” by police as they tried to clear their
names.
The Sydney couple were put on a watchlist until 2038, when
they would be in their mid-60s, which they believe has seen their
passports flagged at airports.
“This has taken a huge toll on both
of us – financially and mentally – and now it’s even affecting our
ability to travel internationally,” Mr Davies told news.com.au.
They have sued the State of NSW for misfeasance in public office and private nuisance in their suit filed last month.
NSW Police said it was unable to provide any comment as the matter was before the court.
‘Distress, humiliation’
It
comes 18 months after news.com.au first reported the Davies’ claims,
revealing their incredulity at being probed by the State Intelligence
Command – which usually focuses on high-level and organised crime –
despite having no criminal record.
The Davies have sought
aggravated damages and claim they suffered psychological injury and
economic loss as a result of the police attention on them.
“The
plaintiffs have suffered distress, humiliation and nervous shock knowing
that they are the subject of an intelligence report suggesting that
they have been violent and/or threatening to police and are paranoid,
when in fact that is not the case,” their lawsuit states.
The person they alleged assaulted Mr Davies’ father Max had an ADVO
taken out against them in February 2023 before it was dropped in April
of that year. No charges were laid.
Mr Davies’ ADVO was also laid
in February 2023 and dropped seven months later, but not before he was
also accused of possessing an illegal firearm, which was never located.
He
was not charged but still lost the firearms license he had held without
incident for decades, something he was fighting to have reinstated
almost three years later.
The statement of claim alleges the
police officer “assisted his (family member) in the fabrication of a
complaint supporting an application for an ADVO against” Mr Davies.
The
couple claims this was done with “reckless indifference to the
identified harm likely to ensue to the plaintiffs”, their lawsuit
states.
Having spent hundreds of thousands defending themselves in
court already, they launched a GoFundMe page to assist in financing
their lawsuit.

Treated with ‘contempt’
Court documents seen by
news.com.au claim the Revesby couple’s lawyers were sent an email from
another senior police officer in May 2023 stating no investigation into
complaints about the first officer was warranted.
An internal
State Intelligence Command report was also created detailing the
“perceived threat” the Davies posed to police, describing their
“fixation” and “paranoia”.
It cited their decision to install CCTV
cameras at their property and a sign stating police did not have
permission to enter their land as evidence of those assertions.
“They have taken numerous actions in furtherance of their paranoia,” the report states.
Ms Davies has claimed in court documents to have seen the first
police officer “driving slowly” past their house on more than one
occasion, and captured CCTV footage of a police vehicle marked as
belonging to the gang-busting Raptor Squad parked in their driveway.
These alleged incidents have been cited in the couple’s claims for public nuisance.
Ms Davies told news.com.au she “tried every avenue” to raise concerns
at their treatment but “instead of help, we’ve been treated with
absolute contempt”.
“It’s disturbing that two Australian-born,
middle-aged, law-abiding small business owners with no criminal history
or links to terrorism, extremism or violence can be monitored for years,
while genuine threats appear to evade that level of scrutiny,” she
said.
The matter is due to be first heard in court in May.
"YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations", 4 November 2025
A
documentary featuring mothers surviving Israel’s genocide in Gaza. A
video investigation uncovering Israel’s role in the killing of a
Palestinian American journalist. Another video revealing Israel’s
destruction of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
YouTube
surreptitiously deleted all these videos in early October by wiping the
accounts that posted them from its website, along with their channels’
archives. The accounts belonged to three prominent Palestinian human
rights groups: Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
The
move came in response to a U.S. government campaign to stifle
accountability for alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in
Gaza and the West Bank.
The Palestinian
groups’ YouTube channels hosted hours of footage documenting and
highlighting alleged Israeli government violations of international law
in both Gaza and the West Bank, including the killing of Palestinian
civilians...
After the International
Criminal Court issued arrest warrants and charged Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Secretary Yoav Gallant
with war crimes in Gaza, the Trump administration escalated its defense
of Israel’s actions by sanctioning ICC officials and targeting people
and organizations that work with the court...
“Congress
did not intend to allow the president to cut off the flow of
information to the American public and the world — instead, information,
including documents and videos, are specifically exempted under the
statute that the president cited as his authority for issuing the ICC
sanctions.”
YouTube...confirmed to The
Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of
State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump
administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in
September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases
charging Israeli officials of war crimes.
“Google
is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade
compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a
statement...
Al Mezan... told The Intercept
that its YouTube channel was abruptly terminated this year on October 7
without prior notification...
...Al-Haq’s channel was deleted on October 3...with a message from YouTube that its “content violates our guidelines.”...
The
Palestinian Center for Human Rights, which the U.N. describes as the
oldest human rights organization in Gaza, said in a statement that
YouTube’s move “protects perpetrators from accountability.”...
The three human rights groups’ account terminations cumulatively amount to the erasure of more than 700 videos...
The
Al-Haq spokesperson said Mailchimp, the mailing list service, also
deleted the group’s account in September. (Mailchimp and its parent
company, Intuit, did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.)...
AS many (European) nations ditch the 'surveillance state' products that emanate from the head of the Five Eyes snake, many others are locked in to feed the beast.
If a nation that governs approximately 70 million people can abandon closed source data hoovering monopolised operating system, there is no technical reason why fascist rulers governing a colony of approximately 28 million tax slaves cannot do the same.
The real reason is political, where the lawmakers, politicians, bureaucrats are not "public servants", but rather corporate whores, subservient to 'Big Tech', Big Pharma, Big (Four) Banks, et al.
The Australian population/serfs/plebs are nothing more than another 'resource' to be fully exploited.
Australian governments are putting the people's data/privacy in danger since all that data goes to Microsoft where we do not know where else it goes and who they sell it to.
See the following article from pcmag.com of the title:
France Kicks Windows to the Curb, Pivots to Linux OS
David Amiel, France’s Minister of Public Action and Accounts, said his country must 'break free' and 'become less reliant on American tools.'
Amid strained relationships between the Trump administration and the EU, numerous politicians in the bloc have discussed pivoting away from US technology firms in the interests of national security, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Now, France has announced it’s moving some of its government systems away from Windows towards the open-source operating system Linux, following Denmark and parts of Germany announcing similar departures from Microsoft products earlier this year.
David Amiel, France’s Minister of Public Action and Accounts, said his country must “break free” and “become less reliant on American tools.”
“We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, and our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control,” Amiel said in a statement first spotted by TechCrunch.
Linux, as it is open source, means you can run software without using an OS controlled and designed by an American firm—for example, Apple or Microsoft, as in the case of iOS and Windows. France’s government digital agency, DINUM, will be the first to make the jump, with other parts of government following at a later date.
The news comes after France announced it would be migrating its national healthcare database from US-based providers to an unnamed new platform earlier this month. It’s also set to pivot from using Microsoft Teams for video conferencing to the French-made tool Visio across all government departments.
Independence from US tech enjoys broad support in much of the EU. Around two-thirds of EU citizens support greater independence from American technology, according to recent market research from YouGov, particularly in areas like data storage and video conferencing. However, roughly four in ten thought independence was unrealistic.
In January, a clear majority of European lawmakers voted to adopt a report on technological sovereignty and digital infrastructure that directs the European Commission to find ways to reduce its reliance on foreign technology providers in areas like semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, software, and AI systems.
If you truly value your online privacy, then you would not use Microsoft's products.
"WhatsApp is also not truly secure, no matter what Meta tells you"
NEVER forget the the creep Zuckerberg LIES to an authority (Congress) so why should he not lie to his 'products' you know the people that use his platforms.
The retail business in Australia is pretty simple or at the least one would think so.
You import something (as Australia for all intents and purposes doesn’t ‘make’ anything anymore except an excellent clown show at the expense of Aussie taxpayers) put a markup on it that is reasonable to afford profit and running costs.
What’s not OK is to sell old stock at a rip-off price as if that object was to be bought at the (higher) price of a newer model with a higher markup, as it’s accepted by the petrochemical giants.
In this snapshot sample from early April 2026, JB Hi-Fi is selling a current model (released Aug 2025) Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (6.8“ screen) with 265GB of storage for $1597, whereas they are also selling a two generation old, released Oct 2023, Google Pixel 8 Pro (6.7“ screen) with only 128GB for $1687, where simple maths will tell you that it’s $90 more than a newer model with double the storage.
While the nomenclature, "Pro XL" v "Pro" it's essentially the same phone size albeit the upgrade version.
What’s worse is that this sort of action hasn’t caught the eye of the authorities?
Well it looks like the place is still a “lucky country”, (side fact - at law Australia is still a colony) but for whom?
Do your due diligence before spending your hard earned cash (unless you're a tradie in the building industry and you're ripping off customers), as some retailers to not act conscionably.
PLEASE NOTE:
What corporations do, is that IF they're caught out and going to be taken to court, meaning the matter is accepted by the legal system, i.e. a filing is made, then they settle out of court (that way the matter is not listed for a hearing) where if you are to receive 'compensation' then they shut you up by 'forcing' you to sign their NDA or you will not get compensated.
This is how fraud and corruption is kept out of the public eye in this "lucky country".
NEVER accept that this nation isn't rife with corruption.
Australia has become an absolute shithole now, where this is as a result of a few decades of actions by both federal & state Liberal and Labor 'governments'.
Quite simply put the fascists in control HATE the Australian public, taxpayers, voters or constituents.
Stagflation is the order of the business years.
So what does the government do?
It imports 500,000 Indian nationals alone into the colony per year (for 10 years) to falsely prop up the 'economy'.
Aussies are going to be screwed with a 'government' created recession.
In reality the people in charge must be razed to the ground and a new 'administration' installed, in a similar manner to Israel's oops Frump's new regime change in 'Eye'ran.
“England, in what is now Britain, wanted more land overseas where it could build new communities, known as colonies.
These colonies would provide England with valuable materials, like metals, sugar and tobacco, which they could also sell to other countries.”
The purpose of expanding an empire is therefore to enrich and empower the empire by extracting labour, natural resources to sell to other countries. In a fanciful, modern world, a reigning empire would not need to permanently occupy or colonise other countries to enrich itself, the empire would expand its power by;
1. Inserting the worlds most market dominate and disruptive companies within pre-existing colonies, extracting the most value from those colonies and paying the least taxes in those colonies.
2. Ensuring that a colonies most valued corporations are majority owned and controlled by the empire.
3. Buying companies and strategic assets in the colonies they want to extract value from.
4. Funding the media in the colonies they want to influence and extract value from. Once a colonies media is influenced by the empire, the media can then propagandise the public to manufacture consent for government policies that enrich the empire.
5. Fabricating propaganda to justify bombing existing colonies and toppling democratically elected leaders of those colonies. The empire would then plant empire friendly leaders and station themselves in these colonies for as long as it took, to; build military bases, extract valuable natural resources, and sell over priced military equipment and other contracts to colluding colonies.
For an empire to succeed under these conditions it would need to rely on the following;
1. That a colonies ruler(s), values money, public opinion and political tenure / power and therefore can be influenced by money, public opinion and positive media coverage to increase their political tenure.
2. That media proprietors and shareholders value money and therefore can be influenced by it. If media proprietors can be influenced by money, political narratives can be influenced by money.
3. That a society is generally predisposed to revering authorities, group-think, convenience, comfort and safety and therefore can be influenced by authorities, popular opinion, repeated narratives and political initiatives that allegedly promise more convenience, comfort and safety for the colonies inhabitants.
What a crazy and fanciful idea. Who would ever believe it?
Today, Australia is STILL a colony therefore under 'colonial' rule which is not good for the people.
The colony’s state police forces are corrupt, they’re corrupt to the core where at the end of the day one cannot trust the police in one’s matters.
The state’s police forces are not ‘honourable’ where at the least they’re dishonest and at most their actions are criminal.
ALWAYS record interactions with police and NEVER rely on their Body Worn Cameras.
Just because Victoria Police have been illegally catching drivers allegedly speeding and you’ve caught them out in a ‘court of public record’ doesn’t mean they’ll stop.
What’s worse nowadays is that there are no ‘investigative’ journalists or court reporters that will report such illegal activity by police.
What’s also worse is that when you ‘the defendant’ exposes this illegality by police, the judicial system does nothing about it.
It’s all about you ‘feeding’ the corrupt Anglo-Masonic legal system, that is deliberately designed against the people from the very start.
The so called ‘Rule of Law’, alleged innocent until proven otherwise or rather “Presumption of Innocence” only looks good on paper but in reality it’s a farce.
At law, it is illegal for Victoria Police to measure ‘speed’ or rather the vehicle’s velocity (distance / time), where the metric under question is distance, where the measured distance must be taken horizontally, i.e. on a plane that has zero degrees.
Example of camera car on an incline
This is not a new law, where it’s been in place for over 40 years.
Yet Victoria Police still point their measuring devices up or down hills, and therefore issuing fines illegally.
Kustom Signals, Inc. ProLaser 4 Operator Manual.
How can one prove the illegality of Victoria Police actions?
Use the Subpoena Form 42B, (from the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria), to obtain;
1). the meta data from the measuring device,
(they may deceive you that they cannot retrieve it or it doesn't exist)
2). the Operator Manual for the measuring device used,
(they may deceive you that they do not have a copy of it)
keeping in mind that the burden of proof is on the accuser.
The judicial system provides false, misleading or deceptive information to defendants or people going 'against' the system, every single day.
Also keep in mind that the 'gatekeeper' (Registrar) may not allow your subpoena through, where that person may be obstructing the course of justice by not allowing you to obtain the necessary documents that may prove your not guilty of the alleged offence.
Obstructing the course of justice is a criminal offence.
The old adage; "How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving" holds truth in Trump's public appearances.
See a collection of Trump's public appearances where he lies through his teeth to the world, as collated by Jimmy Dore within the video of the title: WATCH: Trump CAN’T STOP Contradicting Himself! , paying attention to Kurt Metzger's comments.
Trump lied on "regime change", day care, medicaid, medicare just to name a few.
With the U.S. and Israel attack on Iran, it's very clear that the US is Israel's soldier.
FORGET about Australia being a "lucky country" spruiked by media and government.
Pen was put to paper that Australia is run "mainly by second rate people" and that was in the mid 1960's.
Well, legally it's still a colony, but that topic is beyond the scope of this article.
Nowadays it's worse, it's run by people that are not fit to run ANY kind of business, let alone a nation, period.
'National Security' is not just about military prowess but also infrastructure and resources fall under this category.
The fact that the Australian authorities have allowed the resource called fuel to (allegedly) run dry is a 'failure of government' where realistically there should be an inquiry into this with real world consequences where people MUST lose their cushy jobs.
BUT in reality this will never happen, as the nation is run by a 'cartel' where the courts are part if this as well.
Whenever Royal Commissions or inquiries are held there is no remedy for the serfs/plebs/commoners.
They're always the ones that pay.
In this example, with the highlighted cost of 91 unleaded at $3.12 per litre, corporations are racketeering the people with zero 'remedy' in sight from the authorities.
That's life in a totalitarian (penal) colony called Australia!
Refusing to comply could lead to year in jail and hefty fine, while
providing false information carries up to three years in prison
Hong Kong police can now demand that people
suspected of breaching the city’s national security law provide mobile
phone or computer passwords in a further crackdown on dissent.
The
amendments to the law also empower customs officers to seize items that
are deemed to have “seditious intention”, regardless of whether any
person has been arrested for an offence endangering national security
because of the items.
Refusing
to comply could lead to up to one year’s jail and a fine of up to
HK$100,000 ($12,773), while providing false or misleading information
could bring up to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to
HK$500,000.
The city government on Monday
published the amendments to the national security law imposed by Beijing
in 2020, using powers to bypass Hong Kong’s legislature. Officials will brief lawmakers on Tuesday, a government statement said.
The sweeping law punishes acts, including subversion and collusion with foreign forces, with up to life imprisonment.
The law
sparked criticism from western governments and rights groups but
Beijing and Hong Kong officials said it was needed to restore stability
after the city was rocked by months of pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The
amendments empower police to require a person under investigation
suspected of endangering national security to provide any password or
decryption method for electronic devices and to give the police “any
reasonable and necessary information or assistance”.
Urania
Chiu, a law lecturer in the UK researching Hong Kong, said the new
provisions interfered with fundamental liberties, including the privacy
of communication and the right to a fair trial.
Chiu
said: “The sweeping powers given to law enforcement officers without
any need for judicial authorisation are grossly disproportionate to any
legitimate aim the bylaw purports to achieve.”
A
Hong Kong government spokesperson said the amended rules conformed to
the city’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law, and its human rights
provisions, and “will not affect the lives of the general public or the
normal operation of institutions and organisations”.
According
to the Security Bureau, a total of 386 people have been arrested for
national security crimes so far, with 176 people and four companies
convicted. The Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai
was sentenced to a 20-year jail term in February for collusion with
foreign forces and sedition, sparking international criticism.

Coming to a colony (e.g. Australia), near you? Why not? We're half way there anyway!
Keeping in mind that Australia is a totalitarian state, and NOT a (purported) democracy.
The online world, or rather the World Wide Web, is a fascist corporatocracy.
If people believe they have a right to ‘free speech’ under an amendment to whatever so called constitution their nation has, this is not the case in the digital world.
Corporations rule and are given free reign over the online serfs/slaves/products.
They and only they can decide what can be not only posted ‘publicly*’ but now privately, where there is little recourse if one has been banned from posting something.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger now deletes content in ‘private’ messages between people.
No it wasn't, it was removed by Meta!
No only does it (Meta) delete the message from the sender but it also deletes the recipient’s message.
The message can as innocuous as a cat video can be, to political satire or a link to a medical article, where ZERO justification is given and the content is removed.
We have entered a new age of slavery, digital slavery that even law makers in the ‘real world’ are upholding.
TV series Black Mirror seems to be a dystopian documentary series rather than just ‘entertainment’.
IF you value your privacy (and therefore security), Meta products are not recommended to be used.
* IT’s not technically ‘public’ as it exists within the (private) domain of that corporation’s forum/platform
Meta
funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age
verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build
surveillance infrastructure into every device, while exempting Meta’s
own platforms from the same requirements.
Meta’s
lobbying operation spans 45 states using nonprofit shells to avoid
transparency requirements, with funding traced through organizations
like the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA) as part of a $70 million
fragmented super PAC strategy designed to evade FEC tracking.
Proposed
age verification laws would embed persistent identity verification
directly into operating systems, with Meta’s Horizon OS for Quest VR
already implementing this infrastructure and lobbying efforts targeting
Meta’s competitors while leaving Meta platforms untouched.
A Reddit researcher just exposed how Meta funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device—while conveniently exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements.
Following the Money Trail Through Dark Networks
Meta’s lobbying operation spans 45 states using nonprofit shells to avoid transparency requirements.
The investigation by GitHub user “upper-up” traces funding through organizations like the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA), which launched December 18, 2024, and testified for Utah’s SB-142 just days later. Bloomberg and Deseret News reported Meta’s backing of DCA, part of a $70 million
fragmented super PAC strategy designed to evade FEC tracking.
Traditional election spending disclosure requirements don’t apply to
this fragmented approach.
What ‘Get Age Category API’ Really Means for Your Device
Proposed laws would embed persistent identity verification directly into operating systems.
The technical reality hits harder than policy abstractions. These bills mandate OS-level APIs that apps can query for age data—creating a permanent identity layer baked into your phone’s core functions. Meta’s Horizon OS
for Quest VR already implements this infrastructure through Family
Center controls. Now they want Apple and Google to build similar systems
that every app can access, turning age verification into persistent
device fingerprinting.
The Curious Case of Platform Exemptions
Age verification bills target Meta’s competitors while leaving Meta platforms untouched.
Here’s
where the lobbying gets surgical. The proposed laws hammer Apple’s App
Store and Google Play with compliance requirements but reportedly spare
social media platforms—Meta’s core business. It’s like Spotify lobbying
for streaming regulations that only apply to Apple Music. The “child
safety” rhetoric masks a competitive strategy that shifts liability from
platforms to operating system makers.
Europe Shows a Different Path Forward
EU’s eIDAS 2.0 offers privacy-preserving age verification with zero-knowledge proofs that protect personal data.
The European Union’s Digital Identity Wallet takes a radically different approach. Zero-knowledge proofs
let you verify age without revealing personal data—like showing you’re
over 18 without disclosing your birthdate or identity details. It’s
open-source, self-hostable, and only applies to large platforms while
exempting FOSS and small entities. Meanwhile, US lawmakers seem ready to
let Meta bamboozle them into complete privacy annihilation.
Your
device’s trustworthiness hangs in the balance. These laws could force
every Linux distribution and privacy-focused Android fork to implement
identity verification or face legal liability. The choice between
surveillance-free computing and regulatory compliance is coming faster
than you think.
Unfortunately for the 'good people' of Australia, the colony's police forces are rife with corruption.
The police literally cannot be trusted in any 'alleged' criminal matter.
In court they lie, tamper with evidence, destroy evidence and even tamper with witnesses and/or produce false witnesses with full support of the Anglo-Masonic setup legal system.
After all, the brethren look after each other.
Miscarriage of justice occurs in every single courtroom across the land, to the detriment of society as a whole, where the victims of the justice business are deliberately left without a remedy.
Keep in mind that the old-adage "the system is broken" is a false one, as the reality is that the system is functioning perfectly, the way it was designed to.
Corruption has increased over the years, but the authorities would have you believe there is less.
Here is one story that the public news media are allowed to inform the general population of, the one that the colony's original corrupt police force could no longer hide.
I Catch Killers podcast: Deborah Locke reveals death threats after exposing NSW police corruption that changed everything
She saw too much. Then they
found $20,000 in her car. What happened next would spark Australia’s
biggest police corruption inquiry.
When
former detective Deborah Locke joined the NSW police force in 1984 as
part of the last class to graduate from the Redfern Academy female
officers were, in her words, “lower than a police dog.”
“They
used to make us wear these big, baggy culottes – [pants that were like]
big long skirts,” she recalls of the bizarre uniform choices made on
behalf of police women in the eighties on this week’s episode of I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin.
“I remember once jumping a wooden fence chasing a bloke who was doing a
break-and-enter, and I’ve jumped over the fence and my big baggy
culottes have come over and hooked over the top of the wooden paling
fence, and I’m hung up and I am just hanging on the fence, waiting for
someone to come.”
Yet little did Locke know that her outfit would end up being the least of her concerns during her time on the force.
The
former officer turned whistleblower after witnessing first-hand the
corruption that was rampant in the NSW police force during the eighties,
a move that would leave her in fear for her life, a pariah in the force
and the catalyst for the infamous Wood Royal Commission into police
corruption.
‘They’re going to kill us’
The journey
from ‘one of the boys’ to whistleblower unfolded over several years.
After beginning her career in North Sydney, Locke eventually took a role
within the Gaming Squad in the late eighties, at a time when she was
heavily in the grips of alcoholism, something that made her male
colleagues view her as a ‘drinking buddy’, on the many trips to bars and
pubs the squad would partake in as part of its questionable methods.
Yet it was here that the extent of the corruption became apparent.
Cash bribes were commonplace between illegal gambling providers and
police, and Locke regularly witnessed police tipping off providers
before a raid in exchange for payment.
“Every time we did a raid they knew we were coming,” she tells Jubelin, “the cops, there were cops taking quids.”
“One
time we went and [the illegal gaming crew] had a film crew and they’re
videoing us. They had a big welcome sign waiting for us, they knew we
were coming.”
But the point of no return came when $20,000 was
discovered in the boot of Locke’s surveillance car. She’d been in
Bathurst on a two-week study block, as part of a course she had enrolled
in to advance her career, and when she returned she discovered the
money had come from an illegal bookie who’d bribed members of her squad.
Her boss, who was not involved in the corruption, had discovered the
bribe, and had made the extraordinary decision to arrest the officers
involved through the Highway Patrol.
“The next day, I rock into work and everyone’s just traumatised,”
Locke, who was part of the small surveillance team now dubbed ‘dogs’,
recalls. “Everyone’s rocking. And the next thing you know, people are
drawing pictures. They’re going to kill us.”
“It was dangerous,
we were all scared,” Locke continues. “And it was a horrible situation.
It was just ridiculous. Even though I wasn’t even there or part of it, I
was just tarred with the same brush – it was my car, and so I’m in on
it.”
Locke was granted an overnight transfer to the Parramatta detectives unit, in order to be protected.
“By the time I got to Parramatta though, they already knew who I was, what had happened,” she says.
“And I was classified as a dog and a whistleblower.”
‘I’m going to go jail with these guys’
At Parramatta, Locke continued to witness corruption.
“If
the gaming squad was like a circus, Parramatta was a whole different
ball game,” she says, where detectives would have frequent contact with
Roger Rogerson, a disgraced former cop who had already been dismissed
from the force. Locke recalls Rogerson would “hold court” in Chinese
restaurants, associating with major gangsters and being fawned over by
police officers keen to win his favour.
It was Lenny MacPherson, one of Sydney’s most notorious gangsters in
the eighties, that eventually triggered Locke’s whistleblowing. While
drinking with senior officers and underworld figures at a Parramatta
hotel, Locke was pulled aside and asked to perform a ‘favour’: obtain a
gun license for MacPherson’s second wife.
The scheme was as
bizarre as it was corrupt. Her superiors wanted her to go to Gladesville
police station, present the application, and effectively pretend to be
MacPherson’s wife.
Despite being offered increasing amounts of money to comply, Locke refused the bribe.
However,
in the process of handling the paperwork, she realised she was trapped.
“I was hanging on to the piece of paper,” she says, “so the
fingerprints are on it.”
Ultimately, it was a literal interpretation of the police code of conduct that led to Locke becoming an official whistleblower.
“It’s
probably my autism,” she explains, “I’d read the policies and
procedures and it said, if you saw corruption and you didn’t say
anything or do anything, you would also be guilty of that offence. And
the stuff I saw going down, I was worried. I took it literally. I
thought: ‘I’m going to go to jail with these guys.’
Whistleblowing, death threats and a royal commission
When Locke first went to then soon-to-be commissioner Tony Lauer to report the corruption, she says she was met with “disgust”.
“He
said, ‘you don’t know what a detective is, you’re a whistleblower’ and
I’d never heard that term,” she says. “I got up my courage and I bravely
said to him ‘what’s a whistleblower?’ He looked at me with disgust and
said, ‘you know, that’s cops who are dobbing in cops’.”
At Parramatta, the atmosphere turned lethal. Officers openly
discussed her “disappearing,” and Locke lived in constant fear for her
life.
“There was a copper that was going to speak out against the
abortion squad in the seventies,” she says, “and he got shot sitting on
the toilet. And I got told a few times that was gonna happen to me.”
The
path to systemic change finally opened through independent MP John
Hatton, a long-time crusader against the ‘boys’ club’. Locke became the
only officer in the state with the backbone to sign statutory
declarations alleging current corruption.
Her lone statutory declaration was enough for Hatton to set things in
motion, and eventually the Wood Royal Commission into police
corruption, which shattered the bubble of police impunity. It exposed a
widespread culture of bribery, drug trafficking, and protecting
criminals.
While many corrupt officers were granted amnesty to
resign, the Commission’s findings fundamentally changed Australian
policing by introducing rigorous accountability and oversight.
The downfall of Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara
While
Roger Rogerson had previously been acquitted of the attempted murder of
whistleblower Michael Drury, he would eventually face justice in 2014,
when he and Glen MacNamara – who had previously made a name for himself
as a ‘clean’ cop – were convicted of the murder of Jamie Gao.
Locke – who had formerly posed with MacNamara at the launch of his own
‘anti-corruption’ book, was especially outraged by his involvement.
“They said, look, he’s doing a book, come and support him … We’ve got
a photo in the paper, you know, his arm around me,” she says.
Years
later, Locke watched the downfall of the men who had once operated in
the shadows. “I used to go down and watch them at court, and I’d wave,
‘hi Glen, hi Roger,’ and they’d just look at me. He had the gunpowder
all over him and it was like a video in court,” Locke explains,
describing how surveillance footage captured the pair drinking beers and
stepping over Gao’s body.
“I just felt so good to see Roger in the dock, you know? He was glaring at me, like ‘that b***h!’”
As some even say it's "The Epstein War", a distraction from the 'Files'.
In any event BOTH Netanyahu and Trump are war criminals, that will never see the light of day in a court room, where they are literally untouchable by any law.

Another (deliberately) flawed implementation of control of 'what we think is right for you', buy the Nanny State of Australia:
New adult content rules will also apply to AI bots, app stores.
Warning: This story contains references to sexual content, self-harm, and disordered eating.
Australians will need to prove they are over the age of 18 when
accessing pornographic websites from 9 March 2026, under new industry
codes registered Tuesday by the eSafety Commissioner.
Services hosting online porn must provide “appropriate age assurance
measures” when the codes take effect in six months’ time, or face
potential civil penalties from the regulator in the millions of dollars.
Stricter rules on accessing online pornography have been floated by
governments for several years, but age assurance technologies were not previously considered accurate enough by lawmakers and regulators.
Such technologies can include age verification systems, which
typically rely on government documents or ID; age estimation systems,
which use biometrics; and age inference systems, which use online
activity or account data to infer a person’s age.
The federal government commissioned a trial of such technologies in
2024, which found age assurance could be done effectively in Australia despite no solution being infallible and some systems raising privacy and data retention concerns.
The new industry codes required service providers to not use or share
Australians’ personal information in a way which would breach privacy
laws, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said.
“In determining appropriate age assurance measures to take under any
code, services are also required to consider if those measures are
compliant with privacy laws and whether the impact on user privacy is
proportionate to the safety objectives,” she added.
Any company covered by the new codes “must also take appropriate
steps to test and monitor the effectiveness of its age assurance and
access control measures over time", according to the new rules.
Age checks to access online porn have already been implemented for
sites accessed in the United Kingdom, in some European Union nations,
and in many jurisdictions in the United States.
Canadian pornography giant Aylo — which runs major sites such as
Pornhub and YouPorn — introduced age assurance methods in the UK in July
to comply with new online safety laws in that country, including
“email-based age estimation, credit card age checks, mobile network
operator age checks and open banking, and, as of August 5, Google
Wallet”, according to the company.
However, some UK residents have used Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and facial recognition tricks to get around the new age checks.
eSafety goes after ‘lawful but awful’ material
The six new codes registered by Australia's eSafety Commissioner were
co-developed with industry organisations and aimed to protect children
from exposure to a range of “lawful but awful” content, including
pornography, self-harm, and high-impact violence, Inman Grant said.
Development of the codes began in July 2024 and involved several
industry groups: the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association
(AMTA), the Communications Alliance, the Consumer Electronic Suppliers
Association, Digital Industry Group Inc. (DIGI), and the Interactive
Games and Entertainment Association (IGEA).
Inman Grant said her office would be responsible for enforcing the
codes “to protect children from accidental exposure to content they are
not cognitively ready to process and certainly cannot ‘unsee’”.
“We know this is already happening to kids from our own research,
with one in three young people telling us that their first encounter
with pornography was before the age of 13,” she said.
“And this exposure was ‘frequent, accidental, unavoidable and
unwelcome’, with many describing this exposure as being disturbing and
‘in your face’."

sites accessed in the UK, some EU countries, and many US states. Image:

DIGI, which counts the likes of Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple,
TikTok, and Twitch among its members, said the new codes were “a major
milestone in creating a safer online environment for all Australians”.
"The registration of the codes shows what can be achieved when
industry and government work together on safeguarding the community
against online harms,” said Dr Jennifer Duxbury, DIGI’s director of
policy, regulatory affairs, and research.
"It's vital the rules that apply to the online world keep pace with changes in the threat landscape.”
Australia's adult entertainment association Eros was contacted for comment.
AI chatbots, app stores told to protect kids
To prevent children from accessing adult content on other platforms,
the new codes would also apply to AI chatbots, app stores, hardware
manufacturers, social media services, and other designated internet
services, Inman Grant said.
“Under these new codes, app stores will have to make sure that apps
are appropriately rated and that there are appropriate age assurance
measures before permitting users to download or purchase apps rated as
18+,” she said.
The commissioner said she was concerned by “a recent proliferation”
of unregulated AI companion chatbots — some of which have allegedly engaged in sexually explicit conversations with minors, or encouraged self-harm or disordered eating.
“As with other forms of online pornography, there is a danger that
excessive, sexualised engagement with AI companions could interfere with
children’s social and emotional development, setting up misguided or
harmful beliefs and patterns that are damaging to individuals or
relationships in real life,” Inman Grant said.
“We’ve also seen recent reports of where AI chatbots have allegedly
encouraged suicidal ideation and self-harm in conversations with kids
with tragic consequences.”
US company OpenAI recently pledged to make further improvements to its ChatGPT service following the death of a teenager who discussed much of his life with the popular AI chatbot.
WTF? The authorities are enacting a fascist/Nazi/totalitarian online world and it’s coming to your state or colony soon.
In California and Colorado, law is being put in place that if operating system manufacturers like Microsoft and the various organisations that distribute their own version of Linux want to do business there, they must have an age verification option prior to the user using the operating system, even if the PC is in a closed system, meaning not connected to the internet.
The action for age verification is so that the children (of the cannon fodder) are allegedly protected from harm when interacting with others on the internet, but the real reason is to officially catalogue every person on the internet to their real identity in order to censor ‘free speech’ and to later punish them for whatever the governments see fit at a later time, e.g. for not liking the colour blue if the government see this as being ‘offensive’.
Operating systems do NOT cause harm to underage children, period, where if there is any allegation that they do, where is the 'white paper' on this topic?
This action just shows the sociopathic or retarded mentality of the lawmakers that are enacting these types of laws.
If there was truly an action to protect the children, then the victims the 'Epstein Files', would have their ('alleged') assailants brought before the courts and incarcerated.
What an absolute clown show!
This is just another farce enacted by the authorities to silence the masses, in order to control and force whatever narrative governments desire.
This is huge news, that the time of this post, it's not covered by Australia's mainstream media.
For your benefit, realistically do not rely on Information Technology news by Australian 'news' outlets, but rather refer to trusted specific sources.
Approximately 12 million Australians are affected.
What Personal Data Was Leaked?
Because IDMerit is an AI-powered KYC (Know Your Customer, a government requirement fro U.S. telecomms)
provider, the data it collects is incredibly sensitive. The unsecured
1-terabyte database didn't just leak passwords—it leaked the core
personal identifiers used for your financial and digital life. The
following structured data was left open for anyone to download:
Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata
Breach status and social profile annotations
The last data point – breach status and social profile annotations
– could refer to a database identifier indicating whether the data
originated from a data breach or a leaked database. However, at this
point, the true meaning of the data point is unclear. The team noted
that this specific data point was present only in some regions.
“At this scale, downstream risks include account takeovers,
targeted phishing, credit fraud, SIM swaps, and long-tail privacy harms.
Industry-wide, the case underlines how third-party identity vendors
have become critical infrastructure and can become single points of
catastrophic failure,” our team explained.
