“How do we ensure technology makes our lives better?” Tech Mirror: Reflecting on technology and society with Johanna Weaver explores how technology impacts our lives: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Technology is made by humans. When we refocus on this foundational truth, it opens the possibility that technology can be made differently. Questions about how we might shape technology differently are not just “technical” questions. The answers to these questions go to the very core of the fabric our societies. Just as there is a variety of diverse voices involved in the development of health policy, or national security policy, we need more people to actively engage in tech policy discussions. Through interviews with the movers and shapers, and analysis by experts and opinionated guests, this podcast will empower you to participate in policy discussions to shape the technologies that will shape our future.

Australia was the first country in the world to establish the position of eSafety Commissioner. In this episode of Tech Mirror Julie and Johanna discuss how the position has evolved since it was first established in 2015, and delve into the Commissioner's recently expanded mandate (now covering online adult cyber abuse, as well as child cyberbullying, imaged-based abuse and illegal content). The pair also discuss the checks and balances on the Commissioner's powers, and the practicalities of the complaints process (including how the investigative and information-gathering powers are wielded).
This episode was produced by Jack Fox. Ben Gowdie provided invaluable research support.
