I have to say that I'm shocked by the Liberal Party. Either you believe in guillotines or you don't. You can't pick and choose what sorts of guillotines you want. This online safety act requires greater scrutiny. The other really big thing that concerns me here are these RBA reforms, which aren't going to get the proper scrutiny that they deserve. I am shocked at the fact that an Australian Treasurer would want to give more powers to the RBA, which we know, through estimates, doesn't want to release the correspondence it has with the Bank for International Settlements. To give these guys more power and less accountability is a disgrace. Yesterday we saw a senator attacked here because she may have allegiance to another country. Let me tell you: the Bank for International Settlements has caused more wars and hardship than the Taliban have ever done, and it's an absolute disgrace that this bill is going to pass without proper scrutiny.
