A recent segment by Denham Hitchcock aired on free-to-air television has raised alarming concerns about public safety and media responsibility. During this segment, Hitchcock chillingly explored the use of artificial intelligence to determine how one might get close to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and inquired about the range capabilities of a specific rifle. This reckless broadcast effectively handed a blueprint to anyone with ill intentions towards our nation's leader, posing a direct threat to the Prime Minister's safety and undermining national security.

Denham Hitchcock's actions are not only irresponsible but potentially illegal. The broadcast appears to cross dangerous ethical and legal lines, as it provides actionable insights into potential criminal activities, which could be considered incitement or even complicity in hypothetical violent acts against a government official.

The role of journalists is to inform responsibly, not to incite violence or create threats through careless dissemination of information. Such conduct puts not only officials but also democracy at risk and devalues the integrity of journalistic standards. Broadcasting a segment with such explicit content without considering the implications or taking preventive measures is not only irresponsible but warrants investigation by authorities.

Furthermore, the segment's blatant disregard for the ethical implications and potential real-world consequences demands immediate accountability. We call upon the Federal Police to conduct a thorough investigation into Denham Hitchcock and the broadcasting network responsible for airing this dangerous content.

It is imperative for public safety, the rule of law, and the preservation of journalistic integrity that this issue is properly addressed. This investigation should serve as a reminder that the media holds a powerful influence in society and must wield it with care and responsibility.

Please sign this petition to urge the Federal Police to investigate the actions of Denham Hitchcock, ensuring that such reckless behavior is met with appropriate legal scrutiny and that preventative measures are established to avoid future occurrences.
