You should also take the matter up with the Coalition government of Australia, who have similar concerns about election interference and people smugglers.

Responding to fake news – Parliament of Australia (aph.gov.au)

Australia is in the early stages of responding to fake news and disinformation. The main Australian Government response so far has been the creation of a taskforce to address threats to electoral integrity, though the foreign interference laws, which passed the Parliament in June 2018, also have some relevance to the issue. In addition, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) commenced a social media literacy campaign (discussed below) and other activities to coincide with the 2019 federal election.

There have also been several recent parliamentary inquiries and an inquiry by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) examining issues related to fake news.

Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce

Prior to the July 2018 federal by-elections held across four states, the Turnbull Government established a multi-agency body, the Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce, to address risks to the integrity of the electoral system—particularly in relation to cyber interference. Agencies involved include the AEC, Department of Finance, Department of Home Affairs and the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

According to the Department of Home Affairs, the taskforce’s role is to provide the AEC with ‘technical advice and expertise’ in relation to cyber interference with electoral processes. A media report on the establishment of the taskforce suggested that its central concern is cybersecurity, including interference with the electoral roll or AEC systems. The media report added that:

… the potential use of disinformation and messaging, and any covert operations designed to disrupt the by-elections, would also be closely monitored, with the foreign interference ‘threat environment’ having escalated even within the two years since the last federal election in 2016.
