Birmingham, Sen Simon

Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:22): I make it clear that false information shared online can create public confusion and can be harmful and create difficulties for vulnerable people in our community. That's why, as the government, we have developed a code of practice on disinformation and misinformation. It's why we have in place the regulatory processes that I spoke about before. As I indicated, I will bring back to the chamber any information in terms of regulatory actions underway.
