Emilie Dye sits down with Senator James Paterson, Shadow Minister for Home Affairs and Cybersecurity, to discuss the challenges facing democracies in an increasingly digital world. Should the government attempt to regulate against misinformation? Is TikTok spying on us for China? What about manipulating our election? Is Australia on track to become a vasal state to China? Can we really trust the United States, particularly under a Trump administration?
The conversation explores concerns about foreign interference in elections, the influence of social media platforms like TikTok, and how authoritarian regimes may leverage technology to shape public opinion. Senator Paterson highlights why Taiwan’s future is critical to Australia’s security, the importance of transparency in combating misinformation, and the role of international partnerships in maintaining a free and open society.
This episode of Liberalism in Question unpacks the issues shaping Australia’s democratic resilience and global stability.
