Australian Greens

Australia launched the initiative in honour of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankham, who was killed in Gaza in 2024.

The Greens have accused the government of minimising an open AI hack, which saw an AI agent gain unauthorised access to a Medicare website in June.

The government has launched a rapid review to probe the legality of the hack, after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese disclosed the breach on Thursday.

Acting Prime Minister Richard Mulls said the government is taking the issue seriously, but insists the impact of the breach is minor and no private information was compromised.

So expect to hear more from Albanese at the UN about that and in a bill before the end of the year.

The other thing is what responsibility does the company have and how can you impose... penalties that therefore deter it and taking a look at what the criminal law says you know it requires intention it can be corporate responsibility but you have to find a human that intends something at some point and that it doesn't seem that this answers that description and I think the government's talked a bit tough but Richard Miles sort of gave the game away yesterday where he says well it was it was clearly unintentional that there aren't going to be criminal penalties but you've already had ideas like David Shoebridge from the Greens arguing you know civil penalties, fines for this sort of thing.

So that's where the conversation's going.

Sarah, there's been a lot of focus as well on the timeline here, both for OpenAI notifying the government and the way in which it did, but also the government then escalating this and then making it public.

So that was really part of a kind of a round of diplomatic meetings that the Prime Minister has been holding while here in the United States.

Jane Norman in New York, and in relation to the news of the AI hack on a Medicare website, Greens communications spokesperson Senator Sarah Hansen-Young says the news is extraordinary but not unexpected.

We only heard last week from the CEOs of OpenAI and a bunch of the other big AI companies that they are worried about what impact this technology could have on humanity.

And when the designers and the makers of the machines are saying, got to be a bit worried here, I think we have to take that seriously and we have to take action.

It's got some really interesting findings.

But we shouldn't forget about the Greens as a final mention.

So there you go.

We didn't forget about the Greens.

All right, let's move on.

I'm really interested.

Paul Larissa.

Well, Larissa Waters, I mean, will the Greens ever become – Minor party of the lower house again of substance, do you think? I mean, I guess what my question is, is we're seeing One Nation gobble away at the Nationals and the Liberals on – we forgot about Matt Canavan too, right? So we're equal opportunity discriminators.
