Peter Dutton now backs laws to crack down on ‘above the law’ social media companies over misinformation

Opposition leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition is ‘happy to have a look at anything the government puts forward’ to act against misinformation on social media.Opposition leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition is ‘happy to have a look at anything the government puts forward’ to act against misinformation on social media.

“The Coalition has flip-flopped on its position since 2022, putting politics first and running an irresponsible ‘bin the bill’ campaign, instead of working to hold big tech to account and keep Australians safe online. It’s hard to understand if the Coalition is actually serious about tackling this problem.”

The federal government’s proposed legislation would give the Australian Communications and Media Authority more powers over the social media platforms., formerly known as Twitter, has rejected Australia’s request to take down content about the stabbing and accused the online watchdog of attempted censorship.

But Dutton said the Coalition would be willing to work with the government to strengthen existing eSafety laws and to introduce the new misinformation laws.
