Australian MP who promoted pandemic conspiracies quits ruling party

So what is his crime? He might be wrong on some issues, but free speech must allow for different viewpoints.

No crime. Did you read the article?

He has made his choices and now has the freedom to continue as an independent and peddle whatever kind of barmy he wants to.

Free speech.

Free speech.

Very accurate and sensible, but you must admit febrile and misplaced 1984 images are much more exciting.

Some of these people then go on to jump the queue and get the vaccination. Like Little Marco.

If he can't support his statements with facts, then his words don't carry weight

Gotta support it, or it's just empty words

Anybody could make empty words; that's nothing special

Kelly; now there's a famous (usually for the wrong reasons) old Australian name.

But the other side can’t support its statements with facts too. Did masks, vaccines, PCR testing, lockdowns and all that defeat the virus?

A couple of research papers:

"Evaluating the Effectiveness of Social Distancing Interventions to Delay or Flatten the Epidemic Curve of Coronavirus Disease"

"Social network-based distancing strategies to flatten the COVID-19 curve in a post-lockdown world"

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-0898-6

I'd like to read opposing research. Show me the work

So what is his crime?

Yeah, and where are the monkeys!

Not that anyone brought up monkeys. Or that he committed a crime. But I'm just ringing in on this idea of asking where things unrelated to the current story at hand, that no one has suggested, are.

The world needs more people like him that have courage and conviction, he stood up to the bullies.

Well done Sir.

Yes, looking like a complete an uneducated fool is a real achievement!

Completely misleading headline. Actually he found himself surrounded by tyrants and has decided to do something about it

If he can't support his statements with facts, then his words don't carry weight

But the other side can’t support its statements with facts too. Did masks, vaccines, PCR testing, lockdowns and all that defeat the virus? By far not. I don’t agree with such people, but they are still not proved wrong as well the overwhelming majority is still not proved right.

I don’t see anything that he said that was wrong. “Misinformation” is the new, leftist authoritarian term for “information we don’t agree with.”

Craig Kelly repeatedly used social media and the floor of parliament to question the safety of coronavirus vaccines, oppose lockdowns, and promote unproven COVID-19 treatments such as Malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and headlice medication ivermectin.

So what is his crime? He might be wrong on some issues, but free speech must allow for different viewpoints.

The last thing Australia (and the rest of us) needs is a Ministry of Truth.
