I’m sorry, but the AFP chief is completely out of her depth and doesn’t have a clue what she is talking about.
In fact, her comments are not only totally naive but dangerous.
The last thing we want is so-called “trusted institutions” that can’t be questioned or challenged.
What we need is the vigorous contest of ideas in a free and open marketplace.
And that’s why protecting free speech Is so vital.
The AFP chief wants "trusted institutions" people can turn to for the single source of truth. Not just for children - for "all Australians." New Adelaide uni research she's using comes perfectly timed as Labor’s digital duty of care proposal says the minister decides what counts as harm, and lets eSafety assume “sock puppet identities” to generate material with AI. Jacinda Ardern called it the single source of truth in 2020 and this is the Australian police version with government-run fake accounts included. This is not just about turning off the algorithm as Labor wants you to believe.
