Sarah Hanson-Young is Greens Spokesperson for Communications & Senator for South Australia: “Australia must not cower to the bully-boy tactics of Donald Trump and his tech bro oligarchs. Big tech corporations need to pay their their fair share of tax in Australia, and for the journalism they profit from. “We are seeing the rise of the extreme right in the US fed by Musk, Trump and the toxic tech platforms.
Australia must stand strong for our national interest and stand up for democracy. “Pandering to the tech bullies won’t serve Australia’s interests or ensure public interest journalism is protected. These big tech giants will never do the right thing by their users, journalists or the community unless they are forced to.
“Whether it’s paying for the journalism they use, or their dangerous algorithms that are used to generate massive profits from hate and abusive content and scams, these corporations must be held accountable. “Donald Trump is not our President and his extreme, tech oligarchy should not dictate Australian policies or regulation.” Senate estimates tomorrow will feature Communications Department officials and ACMA, among others.
