Just a small amount of backstory here.
In the previous election, the current government, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) planned to implement a similar scheme, slightly different, but still a filer scheme which was panned by the Liberal-National Coalition (LNP) as censorship.
Before every election there is a media blackout on political messages for three days leading up to an election. The election is on Saturday, and this report was revealed today, as the LNP tries to implement a very similar censorship plan to what they lobbied against as little as three years ago.
Basically, it's a major issue as to why a lot of tech people don't trust the ALP, and now they won't trust the LNP as well.
