Albanese’s internet crackdown could fuel the populist backlash

Professor Chris Berg warns of risks in Albanese Government’s internet regulation, predicting distrust and political instability for Australia


Professor Chris Berg of RMIT University joins Ticker to discuss the Albanese Government’s growing push to regulate the internet, social media and digital platforms.

Berg argues that increased government intervention could have unintended consequences, fuelling distrust in government, strengthening populist movements and creating a broader free speech debate.

He also warns Australia risks following the UK towards heavier regulation, weaker economic growth and greater political instability.
