Regulatory Powers to Combat Misinformation and Disinformation

The Government will provide $7.9 million over 4 years from 2023-24 for the Australian Communications and Media Authority to combat online misinformation and disinformation on global digital platforms to reduce the spread of harmful content. The costs of this measure will be partially offset by redirecting residual unallocated funding from the 2021-22 Budget measure titled Supporting Regional Australia and the lower utilisation of funds than was budgeted for through these programs.
