"The news that Craig Kelly, MP, serial purveyor of COVID misinformation, is to
join Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party in order to fund his damaging
ravings on a grander scale, confronts Australian democracy with a dilemma.

How is he to be prevented from adding to the harm he is already doing to the
public welfare without trespassing unjustifiably on his right of free speech?

It is a classic example of how populists are exploiting the rights conferred by
democracy to undermine democracy."

Unfortunately we've started seeing his ads on YouTube now.  :(
