Lizzie O'Shea is a human rights lawyer, author, board member of Digital Rights Watch, and newly appointed spokesperson for the Alliance for a Safe and Secure Internet. The Alliance has been formed in response to proposed anti-encryption legislation being put before the federal parliament. If its passage through the parliament isn’t thwarted by campaigning efforts, the Assistance and Access Bill 2018 may well come in to law before the end of this year. Lizzie spoke to Alex Whisson late last week and began by explaining why anyone concerned about online privacy, and digital rights more broadly, should be opposed to the bill.
