Outright lies, a whole steaming pile of them, helped Trump swing this election. From baseless claims about immigrants eating pets, to conspiracies about scientists creating hurricanes, the web of lies surrounding Trump convinced enough voters to clinch him the Presidency.
Now many of those tactics are being deployed here in Australia too. Taking several leaves out of Trump’s playbook, Australians are being attacked with a flood of weaponised disinformation designed to pollute our politics, swing votes and stall climate action. And it’s only going to increase in the run up to our election.
But we know how to fight this.
Watch our webinar recording to hear about our upcoming election strategy and what the US vote and disinformation means for climate action in Australia.
