‘It’s misinformation’: Hollie Hughes slams ‘Orwellian’ new media laws

Senator Hollies Hughes has accused the Albanese government of trying to “control the flow of information” by proposing legislation that will force new smart TVs to promote free-to-air broadcasters like the ABC.

Senator Hollie Hughes slammed the new bill during a panel with Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt and former Labor Senator Stephen Conroy. “Next we’ll start seeing they’ll want a ministry of truth, they’ve read some of Orwell’s books and taken them too literally,” Senator Hughes said. The Senator alleged that left-leaning political parties like Labor and the Greens support the ABC because the national broadcaster in turn backs their more left-wing political agenda.
