Episode 78 wraps up a full month of focus on Australian defense perspectives with a look at cyber policy with the highly-regarded freelance journalist, commentator, and broadcaster Stilgherrian.
We tend to look at technology, and its impact on society, governance, and privacy, through a similar lens so I’ve always found the regional perspective he brings to those discussions to be very useful. If there’s an event in Australia related to technology
, governance, security, or privacy Stil is almost certainly involved as an observer or speaker. His work can be found at ZDNet Australia, Crikey, Technology Spectator, CSO Online, the ABC’s Drum Opinion, the Sydney Morning Herald, and beyond. He appears frequently on Australian television and radio and, of course, has a podcast of his own – The 9PM Edict.
In this episode we dig into recent developments in Australian cyber policy and the role Australia plays in Five Eyes, and the region, from a cyber perspective. Along the way we take quite a few diversions into the Australian tech sector, military history, and unfortunate acronyms.
