Government needs to tackle foreign influence âgrey zoneâ
17 February 2021
Foreign influence has shifted from a mostly closed-door, elite practice to a constant that affects all parts of society
A new report from The Australian National University (ANU) has provided a roadmap for the Government to navigate the grey zone between acceptable foreign influence activities and unlawful interference.
Australia is a global leader in updating its laws and policy to manage foreign interference in the 21st century, according to the report s author and national security expert Katherine Mansted. Australia has had, since Federation, a range of laws that manage foreign influence risk, but globalisation and digitalisation, and the rise of modern authoritarian countries such as Russia and China, mean that Australia s foreign influence policy settings now need updating, Ms Mansted, a Senior Adviser for Public Policy at the National Security College, said.
