EDMONTON, Alta. – In a speech earlier today, Johan Lidberg, Australian deputy head of journalism at Monash University, says national security in Australia is failing.
“It is beyond anything that has ever happened in recent memory,” says Lidberg.
Lidberg, author of In the Name of Security, believes a bill of rights needs to be implemented in order to stop this growing issue.
He says this lack of security goes way beyond media freedom, it’s about civil liberties.
“It has turned into an Australian sport which is extremely disappointing,” Lidberg told an audience of 40 people while speaking at the MacEwan Feigel Conference Centre.
He says climate has become harsher for national security, especially now with the current wildfire crisis in Australia.
