The alarm bell I am ringing in today's @smh: social licence on renewables cannot be taken for granted. Incredibly, the anti-renewables movement has outspent the federal Liberal Party account this election on social media ads. #auspol.
smh.com.au
The fossil fuel lobby is paying millions of dollars to set up anti-renewables “community groups”. In some seats it may shift the dial.

How to win friends and influence people, 2024 edition.
Did you think @edcoper would reference @taylorswift13 at #WASymposium2024?. #WhatBringsUsTogether? Maybe the answer is the Eras tour! . What an incredible Global Perspectives keynote today - exploring the timely challenge of mis & dis information.

Great to see more focus on the background causes - we obsess about the fact a piece of misinformation is false, hence the rush to correct it as the solution, not the root causes that led it to be effective.
New essay: I argue that misinformation is often better viewed as a symptom of deep societal problems rather than their cause. When that’s true, interventions like debunking and censorship are unlikely to help – and might make things worse. (1/15).

I spoke to @SatPaper about the biggest danger facing Australia right now: the wholesale import and weaponisation of the #MAGA playbook. “If you think this was about the specific issue of the referendum, you’re missing the point.”.
Tony Abbott is on its advisory board and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price worked as its spokesperson before entering parliament. Who else is powering the right-wing campaigning organisation that defeated the Voice?

Thanks @natashamitchell looking forward to the panel!.
Excellent read by @edcoper . chock full of research & guidance around what not and what to do to de-escalate disinformation. Ed is part of a panel I'm hosting for Big Ideas on Oct 11 at @ArtGalleryofNSW for @UNSW's #AccountabilityInCrisis Conference.

If advertising money was all it takes to win elections then Clive Palmer would have become Prime Minister in 2022, I told @crikey_news.
The only way Clive Palmer’s $2 million cash splash for the No camp will be effective is if he is nowhere near the allocation of the spend, says a global expert on online politics.

Was great to talk to the @FinancialReview about one of my favourite topics: how we can read public opinion on social media.

Pollsters were wrong about our federal election, Britain leaving the EU and Donald Trump’s victory. But if you don’t trust such survey results, think again.
