I have much remorse having voted for what I thought was a left wing party and a very left wing (in his youth) PM in Oz.

This new proposed "Digital ID" law where every citizen will need to opt in providing a Digital ID to access social media is an authoritarian nightmare ( similar to China' law).

Brought in under the cover of preventing youth under 16 accessing social media.

Be very aware: this was backed by News Corp supremo Lachlan Murdoch who Oz Labor have go into bed with. Remarkably there will be some media exempt from this law: Sky News & Murdoch' Oz online entities.

Be aware when various UK politicians start expressing concern about youngsters accessing Tik Tok.

Digital ID is one of the most left things that's around.

Have you read about the CCP in China?

Passports, driver's licences, bills, and bank statements are not enough. They want to know where you have been and when, what you are spending your CBCD on, and how much.

Didn't you read 1984? Hiter started the concept of ID cards.

It seems now that right-wing is now left-wing.

Lachlan Murdoch who will probably win the current court battle with his siblings to control the Empire is said to be far more conservative and right wing then dad Rupert who only cared about money and not ideology, sometimes backing the soft left.

Rupert who only cared about money and not ideology,

Is that how many business people operate?

I wonder if Murdoch is suitably disgusted with himself yet for telling the Sun to back Starmer this summer. He should be.

Depends what he gets in return.

This seemed more like Murdoch jumping on the bandwagon as the Tory charabanc careed to destruction.

He backed alleged "left wing" Labor in Australia as did son Lachlan who probably now issues orders to them them from his high tech bunker in his compound of luxury mansions high in Sydney's ritzy Bellevue Hill overlooking the harbour where he has the gorgeous super yacht Sarissa parked while awaiting a much larger one to be delivered.

It's reported Fox News employees in the USA are absolutely terrified when they get a text to say expect a telephone call from Lachie within the hour.
