Old Man Pleads Guilty to Online Comment

A 62-year-old Aussie man, Grant Edmond Ellis, has pleaded guilty to posting an offensive online comment targeting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese — sparking a legal storm. Arrested in June by the AFP, Ellis is on bail as his case heads back to court in August.

The AFP, ramping up efforts against online threats to parliamentarians since last October, seized devices and ammunition during the raid. This case is a flashpoint for free speech vs. online accountability — and it’s far from over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
