This is a film about a film. Fatal Fraud is a case study about techniques used by opponents against evidence-based public policy initiatives.
In this film, Andrew Denton explains with the help of leading experts how emotional manipulation, fear, framing and omission are deployed to sow Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt in the minds of legislators and the public.
Produced by Go Gentle Australia, Fatal Fraud tackles head on the techniques used by opponents to convince MPs to decide “Not this Bill” when considering VAD legislation.
The release coincided with the visit to Western Australia of Canadian filmmaker Kevin Dunn, whose film Fatal Flaws was a centrepiece of anti-VAD activism.
