- The trio unpack findings from the ASD, in particular the ongoing risk Australia’s critical infrastructure providers face at the hands of adversarial nation-state actors, and how Australia must prepare for this growing risk.
- They then discuss what governance frameworks the government can implement to disrupt the proliferation of disinformation and misinformation online, while being careful to protect liberal values such as freedom of expression.
