Earlier this year Freeplay announced that 2026 might be their last year of operation. I've spent the last few weeks talking to people in and around Freeplay about this point in its history regarding how its changed, its relationship to funding and what it might look like in the future.

Israel is “warning” Australia not to sanction illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank on Palestinian land. What will they do? Stop selling us weapons tested in a genocide? Let’s start there.

Also: it’s harmful + naive for the govt to conflate machine learning for cancer research with sycophantic chatbots. This broad “AI” umbrella terminology is some misleading spin that only benefits companies like Anthropic.

If this government was serious about accountability it would be building an independent AI regulator with real statutory powers, not just another door inside the PM's office for tech lobbyists to knock on.

He's calling this an AI plan for Australia, but the future he's mapped out is controlled by American billionaires, not Australian communities. What we got today was a red carpet for Meta, Palantir and Amazon, leading straight to the PM's office.
