Rallies ‘deeply unsettling for many Australians’: Mark Butler

I think what we want to do from a federal government [point of view] is just reinforce the importance of social cohesion – the importance of us being a really successful multicultural community with all of the benefits.
These new, evolving, technologies require and a new, proactive, approach to harm prevention– and we’ll work closely with industry to achieve this.
While this move won’t eliminate the problem of abusive technology in one fell swoop, alongside existing laws and our world-leading online safety reforms, it will make a real difference in protecting Australians.
