The Briefing1 Huhti 2025

Mangione, Caddick, Mokbel updates + The 'bogeyman' influencing your vote

Wednesday Headlines: Labor to push for real wage increase, US prosecutors seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione, IVF for single women and same sex couples to be covered under Medicare, first probable Japanese Encephalitus Virus death in the QLD since an outbreak in 2022, and the majority of millennials and Gen X regret their career choice.

Deep Dive: With a federal election on the horizon, how much of what we see and hear can we actually trust?

AI-generated deepfakes and manipulated content are becoming harder to detect and while some of these tools are used for entertainment, others are being harnessed to influence public opinion.

So, could AI actually sway voters at the ballot box come May 3? Or is it all a distraction?

In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with Professor Daniel Angus, Director of QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre, to unpack it all.
