Title
Bills — Criminal Code Amendment (Deepfake Sexual Material) Bill 2024; Second Reading- Criminal Code Amendment (Deepfake Sexual Material) Bill 2024 - Second Reading - Ban political deepfakes
Description
<p class="speaker">David Shoebridge</p><p>I move the second reading amendment circulated in my name:</p>-
- The majority voted against a second reading [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2024-08-21.39.1) introduced by NSW Senator [David Shoebridge](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/david_shoebridge) (Greens), which means it failed. This amendment would have added the words below to the usual second reading motion, which is "*that the bill be read a second time*" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
- ### Amendment text
- > *At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate:*
- >
- > *(a) notes that:*
- >
- >> *(i) deepfakes present serious risks to democracy including through the spread of misinformation, and misleading and deceiving voters,*
- >>
- >> *(ii) the next federal election will likely see the proliferation of political deepfakes, with authorities including the AEC currently not having powers to remove these or penalise those involved,*
- >>
- >> *(iii) jurisdictions overseas have begun to grapple with the challenge posed by political deepfakes including South Korea where the National Assembly prohibited AI-generated deepfake content in political campaigning within 90 days of their April 2024 election,*
- >>
- >> *(iv) deepfakes of Australian politicians have already been created and circulated; and*
- >
- > *(b) calls on the Government to work across Parliament to ban political deepfakes in the pre-election period leading up to the next federal election with an exemption for clearly labelled deepfakes used for parody, satire, criticism, news reporting or legal proceedings".*
