Episode overview
The tech giants have threatened to pull their services from Australia if the Government goes ahead with new laws forcing them to pay media outlets for their news content. Should governments reign in the might of the tech sector? Will the proposed Media Code support traditional news media outlets? Has the spread of conspiracies and online extremism corrupted our democracies and how much is big tech to blame? And what would life without Google look like? Joining Hamish Macdonald to discuss these questions and more are: Paul Fletcher, Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts; Michelle Rowland, Shadow Communications Minister; Julie Inman Grant, eSafety Commissioner; Lydia Khalil, International security expert; and Hal Crawford, Media consultant and former news director.
