If we stay in a particular lane we are going to be narrow and not face up to the reality. The reality is that disinformation is affecting the roll-out of the vaccines. Ms Carolan would need to see the type of emails that public representatives get on a daily basis, where people are being quoted as authorities that they are not, or they have a vested interest in disinformation. That is affecting our electoral process. It is affecting our democracy all of the time and there does not appear to be any body that is overseeing that.
