The Australian Government's expanding powers to spy on us through digital technology

Friday, 30 July 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer interviews Lucie Krahulcova from Digital Rights Watch about the Australian Government's increasing powers to surveil us, with minimal transparency and accountability. Australia compares badly with other jurisictions in the protection of human rights (such as the UK and even the US), and Lucie talks about the need for a Human Rights Charter or Bill of Rights. She urges us to contact key politicians and tell them not to expand digital surveillance powers and the serious encroachments on our human rights.

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
