Thanks to your support, our campaign to make lying in politics a criminal offence is gaining traction across the globe.

Check out this excellent new podcast from Australia which explains exactly how our Lying in Politics Bill could shift the dial on political deception.

The Truth, Trust and Democracy podcast, hosted by veteran ABC political journalist Michelle Ainsworth, explores our bold proposal to make it a criminal offence for elected politicians to knowingly lie to the public. 

Michelle brings a unique Australian perspective, shaped by decades of political reporting and a deep concern for the erosion of public trust.

She speaks to the three people at the forefront of driving the measure forward in Wales—Senedd Member Adam Price, constitutional lawyer Sam Fowles, and me—to unpack what it could mean for democracy here and around the world.

Disinformation threatens to undermine trust in democracy globally, especially when it is spread by rogue actors who occupy political office.  That’s why we are now campaigning to get the Lying Bill adopted by democracies across the globe.  We hope you like the podcast and thank you for your support.
