A @firstdraftnews manifesto (of sorts) following months of monitoring misinfo during the #AusVotes22 election. The team @estherswchan, @stevievzh and @annekrugernews noted narratives old and new, Aus-made and imported, trumpeted on trucks and in Telegram throughout the campaign.
First Draft has been monitoring misinfo related to #ausvotes22 election. We saw local and imported narratives of voter fraud, conspiracy theories, and scare campaigns both online and offline. h/t @estherswchan @stevievzh @juliabergin1 @annekrugernews bit.ly/38VhWth
