Lawyers Weekly Podcast Network How the misinformation bill collides with free speech
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, managing editor Liam Garman sits down with shadow minister for communications and federal member for Banks, David Coleman, to discuss the recent misinformation bill. First recorded for the Contested Ground podcast, released by our colleagues at Defence Connect, Garman and Coleman recap the bill and discuss what the government considers misinformation or disinformation.
The episode will also unpack some of the unforeseen consequences, like how it may impact religious freedoms and genuine political discourse.
Coleman finishes by sharing his thoughts on the government’s push to remove under-16s from social media platforms.
