Nevena and John talk to Michael Nayna, Australian documentary filmmaker, Investigative Journalist; The Millions Behind Australia’s ‘Bottom-Up’ Censorship Bill
“As Australia’s new Digital Duty of Care Bill heads to Parliament, liber-net CEO Andrew Lowenthal and I dug into the PR campaign behind it. What we found might be one of the strangest pieces of political theatre in recent Australian history. At the centre was a young grievance-studies graduate running an NGO that has received millions in funding from the Albanese government and used flawed research to campaign for reforms the Prime Minister celebrates as “bottom-up” change. Scrape away the PR paint job, and you find a Bill that would dramatically expand state power over the internet.”
