Thanks Rebekah. It would be astonishing if an Australian bureaucrat (or, indeed, any bureaucrat anywhere) could legally control the global Internet, with massive implications, so I'm pleased to see this sensible decision. It will be interesting to see how Australian media deal with this, after labelling Musk as the bad guy, in some cases spectacularly.
e Safety is a pretentious manufactured job for public servants to obtain more channels to work through but achieves nothing for the country Australians are not fools unable to decide for themselves or recognise good bad truthful evil or otherwise with whatever is placed before them This outcry from public servant was pathetic lapse overloaded with self confidence executed by person overfull of self confidence
The other irritating aspect of the PM and Lambi's comments were the personal attacks on Elon Musk
Musk, in my opinion, has given a platform to those who before, had no such platform to air their opinions. Turns out their opinions were not conspiracy theories but valid concerns that have become true.
Again, just my opinion, but what is coming out about how our Govt acted during the Covid debacle, it is no wonder they want to control what we see, hear and read.
As for our illustrious eSafetyCommission well they just demonstrated to Aust what they are about. Revamp them and get rid of their WEF leader.
Why does'nt Govt get rid of betting ads on TV etc, that destroys families and ultimately harms children. Address the crap that just occurred at Renmark High and Headspace, teaching kids about Beastiality. Those are things Govt can do something about. Betting brings in lots if money to Govt so zip action there.
Albo and Govt in general we are not children and it is not us but you who need to grow up.
So this judgement is almost entirely about the reasonableness eSafety's extraterritorial ban, and this judgement does not give any hint either way about whether the takedown order itself was lawful.
This doesn't tell us much about which way the final decision will go.
If you read earlier on in the decision I believe the judge says something to the effect that determining the validity of the notice was not within the scope of this specific decision.
Although his review of the Act is interesting. Apparently for be video to be class 1 it needs to likely that the Classification Board would refuse classification. So worse than Silence of the Lambs for example.
How the commissioner could be satisfied that this is the case for the Wakeley video is something I hope the court considers.

wow, just when you think the Dystopia is real and unrelenting, this decision breaks through like some fresh air.
I imagine our esteemed E Safety Commisar and her goons would be fuming about now. Schadenfreude? Absolutely.
Good commonsense decision.
