My experience is Unis now take this seriously and have compulsory induction courses for staff on foreign interference. I’ve had to do them.
It also seems a bit hypocritical considering defence signals directorate and other Australian intelligence agencies are so inappropriately influenced by their US equivalents. The needs of Australians seem to come a very distant second in their priorities compared to what US govt and business want. Im guessing it’s because orgs like ASIO and DSD have gotten too lazy to develop their own sources, and have come to rely mostly on secondhand US intelligence. Their worldview is shaped by whatever heavily curated intelligence the US chooses to feed them. This in turn flows through to the advice they give to the Foreign minister… I could be wrong, but it would seem to explain a lot of the decisions she makes.

The fascist and the neoliberal both want no public housing and people on Centrelink to be in poverty
