‘Not prepared to meet with him’: Tech industry on Porter’s appointmentThe tech sector’s engagement with the federal government may nosedive thanks to former Attorney-General Christian Porter’s appointment to the portfolio, with industry leaders saying they believe he would be unwelcome by some at events, and organisations would have to “bargain” with themselves about accepting government funding.

Speaking to The Australian Financial Review, Microsoft director of start-ups for the Asia-Pacific, Emily Rich, said she believed Mr Porter’s appointment would deter some people in the sector from engaging with the government, “and it should”.“To borrow the words of Grace Tame, I’m using my voice amongst a growing chorus of voices that will not be silent,” she said when speaking out against Mr Porter’s appointment.
