Aussie Mum beats the eSafety Commissioner
Western Sydney Mum Celine Baumgarten has beaten the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant in the Federal Court.
The embarrassed eSafety Commissioner who has made several attempts to censor free speech and truth speech in Australia had her appeal against the single mother dismissed.
“Amazing, absolutely amazing,” Ms Baumgarten said of the judgment in an exclusive interview with Sky News.
“It’s a win for free speech, it’s a win for parental rights and it’s a win for Australia.”
Ms Baumgarten, who is bisexual, had posted a 53-second video to X in May 2024 that was critical of a decision by the primary school to host a queer club for its students.
“And in today’s edition of Melbourne doing Melbourne things, we have a school in Montmorency that has its own queer club – a primary school, for years 3 to 6,” she says in the video, accompanied by photographs and screenshots taken from the school’s newsletter and a teacher’s public social media account, none of which identified children.
“Look at this – we got the pronouns in the bio, we got the rainbow lanyard… Primary school.
“Let me make something real clear… there is no place for an LGBT club in any school, let alone a primary school.”
The post was geoblocked and was informed by X she had been censored by the eSafety office. Celine appealed and won in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
Ms Inman Grant was unsatisfied and continued her censorship attempts by appealing the tribunal’s decision in the Federal Court.
In handing down the judgment of the full bench, Chief Justice Debra Mortimer noted it had “decided that the tribunal did not make the legal errors alleged by the eSafety Commissioner”.
Ms Baumgarten's legal team estimates the government-appointed regulator spent more than $250,000 in its fight to censor her, first in the tribunal then the court.
“It would be hilarious if it wasn't for all the taxpayer dollars that were spent fighting this pointless litigation,” Ms Baumgarten said.
“It is such a waste of money and we think with all the issues that we're facing in this country at the moment, funds that could be spent on more important things are spent hounding down a single mum from Western Sydney.
Julie Iman Grant has tried to censor others in the past and lost as well. Elon Musk and Canadian parental rights advocate “Billboard Chris” have both withstood her attempts to keep Australians in the dark about the lies and deceptions of gender ideology.
