nordicinst · x · 2026-10-13
Guardian Australia reports that a bipartisan parliamentary committee letter to PM Albanese on AI policy was edited and signed off by the PM's senior adviser before being sent — with edits as late as 35 minutes prior. Independent senator David Pocock called the intervention concerning; his feedback was solicited only after the letter went out. The letter covers copyright, AI safeguards, sovereign capability and AI literacy.
