What I wrote the other day on Raphael Lataster's "OK The News" substack:
------
TBH, I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for anyone to be held account. The motion to have an inquiry was passed 31 yes, 30 no, and as there's 76 Senators, 15 went missing. The committee chair is a Green. The members of this Community Affairs References Committee are:
Chair Senator Janet Rice Australian Greens, VIC
Deputy Chair Senator Marielle Smith Australian Labor Party, SA
Senator Wendy Askew Liberal Party of Australia, TAS
Senator Hollie Hughes Liberal Party of Australia, NSW
Senator Maria Kovacic Liberal Party of Australia, NSW
Senator Louise Pratt Australian Labor Party, WA
and note the committee can refuse any submission. IMO, a fix is already in.
Thanks for alerting us to this Alison. This is a very important article you have written. I haven't checked whether the "People's Terms of Reference" got redacted. Maybe it was too long for the stupid program that redacts Bradford Hill because it thinks it is a name of a private person.
I also can't believe what they did to the testimony of Raelene Kennedy. It is like they want to harm her more. Appalling.
Truly disgusting, hard to believe we could be living in such a crazy, dystopian, fake world and yet so many either have no clue what’s really happening, or are just totally apathetic to it all. I think the totality of the evil has left me with PTSD and I’m struggling to pick up the pieces given I have no significant hope that there will ever be any real justice and even worse that they continue to plow ahead with their agenda as we speak….
Is there some way we can set up a centralised website for people to publish their submissions together that were unpublished or redacted by the government? I think it would have a lot more force, actually, if the unpublished submissions were all together.
I submitted the AMPS book as pdf, and nothing appeared as a submission next to my name.
I assumed censorship, but in my case, I don’t think it was AI. I believe someone looked at the title, at least, of the book “Too Many Dead” and they didn’t like it.
Shocking, because I have learned so much in the past from the submissions of many people to a number of different inquiries. I have no recollection of pieces of open submissions being redacted in the past. I checked my non-submission to this Inquiry. Thankfully nothing (of nothing) has been redacted. https://www.pmc.gov.au/sites/default/files/submissions/PMC-CGCRI-2023-1885.pdf
They did not publish my Submission 670 at all.

Someone needs to set up a centralised website where we can publish them
-assists people in government to excel at managing THEIR PROFITS they mean.
Sadly, you must these days assume the Government Censor Bot will do it's job.
all we can do is record, record record and disseminate those records accordingly.
There is no such thing as AI. It’s just a bunch of algorithms written by the privileged end of town.
Sort of explains why in my submission the phrase ‘ramp up fear’ had the word ‘ramp’ redacted. Imperfect AI might explain that.
Great article Alison! I am horrified that submissions to an inquiry are being handled in this way. Thank you for calling it out.
