Lucy Hamilton ‘There’s a War on Our Ability to Know’
#media #disinformation #journalism
Findings in two reports on risks to #australia from “the scale of the orchestrated flooding of our information conduits with bad information. There is no “marketplace of ideas” when the fossil fuel sector spends billions to protect its profits at any expense, with a PR machinery to drown out reliable information”
#politics #climatechange #greed
“Democratic projects cannot function when the electorate is overwhelmed by deceptive information”

There's a war on our ability to know

Two important reports were released last week about the dire risks to Australia if we do not act swiftly to protect what voters know from coordinated attacks. They threaten our national security.

@ApaulD It's a tad difficult to believe Lucy Hamilton writing about democracy whilst being in a nazi bar.
See also: anyone involved in "community independents" on substack, when those community independents are #whiteaustralia racists.

@gusseting I raised that with her - said I couldn’t subscribe to her on Substack. She said she’s aware but hasn’t got reach on other platforms. I think it’s hard for self publishing journalists to earn a living. I still think she does excellent work. 🤷‍♀️

@ApaulD That's bullshit.
How many examples does she need of independent publishers who have shifted off substack to be profitable?

@ApaulD You raised it with her that community independents are #whiteaustralia racists with the exceptions of Andrew Wilkie + Lidia Thorpe?
Asking because I have yet to see any acknowledgement of that from Lucy, when it's a provable fact c/o @oaf

@ApaulD Lucy Hamilton is recommending Build A Ballot:
https://lucyham29.substack.com/p/theres-a-war-on-our-ability-to-know

Build A Ballot founders I/V:
"Building on that case, Senator David Pocock introduced the Duty of Care Bill in 2023, which is pushing to make this duty of care a legal reality."

Once again, c/o
@oaf #DavidPocock thinks it's fine to abuse human rights by voting for one of our most racist policies:

How do you have climate action without human rights?
