Disquiet grows in Albanese’s back yard as Grayndler artists unite against ‘insane’ AI proposal

Creatives in Anthony Albanese's Grayndler electorate oppose the federal government's plan to allow AI companies to scrape Australian online content by default for training, fearing it undermines copyright protections. The government is considering reforms that could weaken copyright law to accommodate AI training, prompting backlash from local artists and industry groups. Draft legislation is expected by year-end, with parliamentary debate slated for 2027.
