AI is here but both major parties are dragging their feet in regulating it.
We need to protect our democracy & ban deceptive uses of AI in elections.
Voters deserve truth from their politicians.

Superb piece from Crikey's Rachel Withers. Absolutely on the money. Every. Word. www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/29/s...
Birmingham was a failed moderate who leaves a legacy of rolling over and letting the right win
Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham was a leading moderate, or so we were repeatedly told. But what does he have to show for it?

Can anyone help clear up some confusion re the social media ban? Will my 8-year-old get to keep her existing SportsBet account? She’s sweating on a 20-leg multi and can NOT afford to be kicked out @albomp.bsky.social

imagine if behind the curtain, the ACCC was just coles + woolies, and they decided to give themselves big fat taxpayer grants and to squeeze aldi + IGA out of the market!
…well, labor + the coalition are doing something very similar to indies + minor parties.
it basically #FinancialGerrymandering.

"Labor & Coalition politicians are rushing through legislation without proper scrutiny, that will deliver tens of millions of dollars in additional public funding for the major parties, while tilting the playing field against independents & minor parties."
