Julie Inman Grant

In the latest episode of Voices Towards 2050, Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commissioner Micaela Cronin speaks with Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, about the ever-growing challenge of technology-facilitated abuse and what it will take to create a safer future online.

Drawing on almost a decade leading the world’s first government agency dedicated to online safety, Commissioner Inman Grant reflects on the evolution of online harms, from image-based abuse and coercive control to deepfakes, artificial intelligence and the rise of online misogyny. She explains why technology-facilitated abuse is not separate from domestic, family and sexual violence, but increasingly a feature of it.
