one of the areas that my organisation is very focused on in australia is how we ensure that australia'sns here in australia around minors' access to adult content and a range of different harmful content, that we want to ensure that the industry has strong incentives, notjust the mainstream industry, but across the tech stack, to take effective and fast action. in my view, we need to work hard to ensure that online spaces are safe, and that a focus on safety will be more effective than a blunt ban. sunita bose, managing director of digi, thanks very much forjoining us on the programme. thanks for the opportunity. we've been talking about how to keep young people safe online. but over the last two weeks, we've heard warnings from seniorfigures in the united states and uk governments about potential cyber attacks from countries like russia and china on critical infrastructure. cybercrime is estimated to cost businesses and governments trillions. that's according to many surveys of businesses whose job it is to keep the system safe. one of those companies is secureworks, and earlier, i spo

live music was once the soundtrack to a thriving industry in australia.covid—19 pandemic and lockdowns has continued. musicians say it's the biggest crisis they've faced in a generation — many can barely make a living. t can barely make a living. i think it's really quite sad. i wish that australians would have put as much energy into music as they do with sport. i think culturally, music is not very respected. since i've been singing here, ithink very respected. since i've been singing here, i think the standard fee for a musician hasn't changed. in fact, it's gone down. many venues are facing higher insurance and other costs. on top of that, audiences are staying away because of cost—of—living pressures. small— to medium—sized venues are under pressure to survive. venue sustainability is a critical part of the puzzle. you lose a venue, you lose a community. you lose the infrastructure. when they go, they don't come back. australia, though, is trying to reinvigorate its music industry — a national development agency was set up last year to provide suppor

i was coming from australia where i had been ambassador. the hangover from 9/11 was still a part of the day. it was an important part. the role that japan was going to play was taken very seriously in washington as well as tokyo. i was fortunate enough to arrive and to represent the united states at a time when the president of the united states and the prime minister of japan were extraordinarily close. it wasn't a relationship that was a declaration was made at the end of the meeting about all they accomplished. they really liked each other and they really got along and had i think a common view of what the alliance should be and how vital the relationship of japan and the united states would be and the influence it would have. i think some people would be surprised to hear what i am going to say. george bush came to the presidency with a fully developed idea about china. the very day he asked me to go to australia, and said, look, we have to get china right. we can't get china right if we don't get japan and australia right. that was the

i spent 3 years in prison in australia and suffered state repression and human rights abuses. the australian government pressured me to plead guilty while i was in prison. i spent the 1st 3 months in solitary confinement. i was forbidden for meeting with my lawyer, calling him or using an interpreter. they also destroyed documents that should have been presented in court to put pressure on me in prison. afterwards, i was even denied medical care the i on successfully petition for it for 8 and a half months, but was unable to get it in my health. deteriorated my diabetes worse and endangering my life, and i was only able to get medical care after i sent a letter of protest to the government after a week of taking insulin 3 times a day and one a 1000 milliliters of diabetes medications in morning and evening i was admitted to a general hospital for 12 days with memory loss. i asked the court to stop the criminal proceedings against me, but i lost because the evidence was destroyed and so i could not produce it. i appealed again to the supreme court, but the australian court refu

australia is saying, you know what? this is the first step.t not working. and we have to find a different way to do this. >> mary ann, i think you argued in favor of there being some form of regulation and restriction on what's going on, particularly as it relates to the harms to children, to young girls in particular. you do warn that this blanket ban might cause some other problems for young people. tell me what you mean by that. >> right, and i think that roger is correct about how we are in a bad state when it comes to children's access to and addiction to social media and not just children, it's adults, too. what i worry about is fact that this ban is relying really heavily on age verification. and we just don't have methods to really show age verification that are accurate without also causing all kinds of unintended consequences, more data collection, more information gathering, more kinds of inferences about human behavior. we don't want to give these companies more excuses to do that kind of -- engage if those kinds of practices. but
