Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash has accused the Albanese government of attempting to “censor the Australian people” with its misinformation and disinformation bill.
Sky News has revealed the government will dump its misinformation and disinformation bill after it became clear the Opposition and Greens would oppose the bill in the Senate.
“In the first instance, Andrew, did you ever think in your lifetime or my lifetime an Australian government would seek to censor the Australian people?” Ms Cash told Sky News Australia.
“This bill is not about misinformation and disinformation; this bill is about the Albanese government silencing the Australian people.”
