The 9pm Autumn Series 2021 continues with journalist Cameron Wilson, now an associate editor at Crikey investigating “the stories of the Australian internet: politics, culture, conspiracy and extremism, all that good stuff”.
We talk about one of our favourite politicians Craig Kelly, violent extremism, the darkweb, and even something remarkable about the prime minister.

[clears throat] Next week I'm starting at @crikey_news where I'll cover the Aussie internet and tech as associate editor. I’ll be primarily writing with a focus on investigating the stories of the Australian internet: politics, culture, conspiracy + extremism, all that good stuff

[24 January 2008] Just 24 hours ago, actor Heath Ledger died. Before most people even knew he was dead, I’d set up a web page asking for jokes about his death and I placed an advertisement (pictured) on Google. Tasteless. But there was a porpoise. This was Science!
-
[19 February 2008] It’s nearly a month since I posted my tacky Heath Ledger joke page. What have we learned? Truth be told, not a lot more than I wrote in the Day 1 lessons and the items tagged “heath ledger”.

[17 February 2021] The social media giant booted the backbencher for a series of posts to his public page which falsely claimed that anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine could cure COVID-19.

RIP Craig Kelly’s Facebook page, a source of bullshit that was taken far too late.

What type of world do we live in today, when the woke try & "cancel" Dr. Seuss, while ‘CyberPunk 2077’ is all the rage where "4 types of damage can be inflicted & resisted-Physical, Thermal, EMP & Chemical" Clearly promoting great Woke wholesome values ??

But our lover of coronavirus conspiracy theories isn’t upset about the game’s notorious glitchiness, or about its choice of five pubic hair styles, among other genital customisation options (something we now have no choice but to presume Kelly is fine with).
-
Over the weekend, infamous former government MP Craig Kelly — better known for his promotion of medically unsound approaches to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic on Facebook — discovered Cyberpunk 2077. Kelly was clearly concerned about the game’s promotion of what he likes to call “woke wholesome values,” and so today, I thought it might be helpful to educate the MP as to the game in question.

From ventilators to PPE, it can be easier to think about supply than about supply chains. And that's a major issue in the time of coronavirus. It's not just about whether there's enough of something — it's about how it gets to the places where it needs to be. And that applies to yet another good that's suddenly in serious demand: toilet paper.

Federal Labor, drifting in its third term of opposition and struggling to cut through, should be asking itself one thing: What can it do for a working-class kid from Broadmeadows? The answer is obvious: Make him leader.

Teal on the dark web "We’re on what is known as the surface web, but I don’t understand it, apparently the surface web and there’s a bad thing underneath it." (he concedes it's not his area of specialty)

The big tech hitters hold a degree of responsibility for the spread of online extremism. But are they being held to account?

Conspiracy theories that someone else was responsible for or helped carry out the Port Arthur massacre attract thousands of Australians thanks to social media.
