Broadband, Communications & the Digital Economy

Our communications priorities have been to maximise the ability of Australians to access communications technologies and networks regardless of location, inequality or disability. We seek to maximise diversity in media ownership in Australia with a view to diffusing the concentration of ownership by a handful of corporate interests, maximising the reach of alternative voices including community broadcasters, SBS and independent producers.

In particular, the Greens have been a strong voice against Government attempts to censor the internet or exploit communications technologies to massively expand surveillance of the Australian people.
