‘Disinformania’ has taken over the internet - can ‘no’ voice opportunists maintain control of an unleashed far right flank? | Van Badham

The Indigenous voice to parliament proposal is not a secret UN plot to steal Australian land. It is not a proposal for a “third chamber of parliament”. It is also not a conspiracy to stop dairy farming, impose “backdoor communism”, force people to listen to rap music or start a new religion … though I have been told all these things on social media this past fortnight.
Welcome to Disinformania; Australia, you’re standing in it.

This really smells like a Cambridge Analytica operation.
Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!
