The Australien Government has made an ad about the new media legislation it just passed, and it's surprisingly honest and informative!
Our Government just passed a new law, the News Media Bargaining Code, that fundamentally alters the relationship between Big Media & Big tech, so I thought we could do with an Honest Government Ad about it. Especially since other Govts are sure to try and emulate it... 
Huge thanks to @Lizzie_OShea for giving me expert advice on the legislation and how it effectively aligns the interests of Big Media & Big Tech, a perceptive analysis that many seem to have overlooked. You can read more of Lizzie's take here https://overland.org.au/2021/02/facebook-vs-the-media-code-whoever-wins-we-lose/
Lizzie also chairs @DRWaus which has shittons of great material about the Code and surveillance capitalism in general https://digitalrightswatch.org.au/2021/02/19/facebook-removed-news-what-now/
Thanks to our special guests @MichaelWestBiz and @friendlyjordies for joining us on this Honest Government Ad! (our first ever cameo in the Honest Government Ads series yay)
