NetThing 2022

This week we are bringing you a discussion that we recorded as part of  NetThing 2022 – Australia’s Internet Governance Community Forum.  Johanna was joined by Kate Pounder, CEO of the Tech Council of Australia, and Richard Windeyer, Deputy Secretary at the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.  Given the recent string of high profile data breaches in Australia – tech regulation is front of mind for many Australians in a way that it hasn’t been before. Guided by the Tech Policy Design Centre’s report Tending the Tech-Ecosystem: who should be the tech-regulator(s)?, the trio discuss how to get tech regulation right in Australia.  Tech Mirror is recorded on Ngunnawal land. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay our respect to elders past, present, and emerging.  Professor Johanna Weaver is Director of the Tech Policy Design Centre at the Australian National University. This episode was produced by Jack Fox, with special thanks to Ben Gowdie for research and post-production support.     Relevant links:  Tending the Tech Eco-System Report: https://www.anu.edu.au/files/guidance/TPDC_Report_NO1_2022_digital_release.pdf  NetThing Internet Governance Forum: https://netthing.org.au/    Send us your questions: [email protected]   Follow Kate Pounder on Twitter: @kpounder  Follow us on Twitter: @TPDesignCentre  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
