Is this appearance by the Chinese navy causing concern in Oz?

Our Uniparty politicians don’t really care and the Lamestream Media is not too fussed.
After all, most of them would welcome a Commie invasion.
I think the Chicomms are testing what TRUMP’s reaction will be as he must find the attitudes of the extremely woke Australia and NZ ANZUS Treaty alliance members very troubling.
Our Ambassador to the US KRudd, the PM Al-bozo and the Foreign Minister Wrong all have severe, incurable cases of TDS and EDS.

The Dutch seem to be heading for a ban on social media for Children
https://nltimes.nl/2025/02/22/dutch-government-pressing-ahead-social-media-age-limit-policy
I think Oz was thinking of something similar but how do you check childrens ages without checking everyones ages? Surely that requires digital i.d.?

Yes. Australia has passed into law, waiting to be implemented next year after recommendations of how to implement it by the e Safety Kommisar.
Indeed.
That was the whole point. It was a surreptitious way of getting EVERYONE on social media to be ID’d and have their digital person number associated with their social media posts.
That way they can use AI to give you a Chicomm-style social credit score according to your level of compliance with the Official Narrative.
You can then be assessed for the quantity and type of rations and freedom you get such as insect and other “food” rations, freedom to leave your 15 Minute City, freedom to travel, size of housing etc..

The first paragraph of this article says it all

Only 8% of the population could be called progressive activists (other phrases are available) but they exert power and authority way beyond their numbers.
The sad truth is that most people are not interested or too busy to get involved in activism so a small number who are dedicated to overthrowing or promoting something can exert great influence.

Starmer’s US Visit Set for Tense Talks as VP JD Vance Criticizes UK Censorship Laws: https://www.infowars.com/posts/keir-starmers-us-visit-set-for-tense-talks-as-vp-jd-vance-criticizes-uk-censorship-laws
Vice President JD Vance insists that the topic of ‘free speech’ will be on the table. Starmers far-left Stalinist persecution of British citizens on religious and/or ideological grounds will be on the table. Political prisoner Tommy Robinson and his journalism exposing Labour Party crimes will be mentioned. Far-left socialist Britain has been repeatedly criticized, particularly for its sweeping orwellian censorship law, the Online Safety Act. The legislation has the unfortunate quality of threatening free speech and US companies.
Vice President JD Vance said of the Stalinist East German type regime in Britain “We’re simply telling them to respect the values on which our civilisation was founded, that you ought to debate with one another, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint. It’s very simple, and it’s very obvious.”
However like Stalin, far-left Starmer accuses his enemies of being far-right supporters of free speech fanatic, Adolph Hitler. So refuses to talk to Putin, Farage or Tommy Robinson.
