Named appointment-channel actor linking trial advice and public payment advocacy
Jon Rouse
Jon Rouse is identified as chair of the completed Australian Age Assurance Technology Trial's stakeholder advisory board and as a signatory to the July 2025 payment-company open letter. The trial's own account assigns him the role of appointing stakeholder-board members.
A documented overlap, bounded authority
The trial page says Rouse chaired the board and appointed its members, including Collective Shout's Melinda Tankard Reist. The roster also included industry and digital-rights participants. Rouse separately signed the 10 July 2025 letter under his professional identification, endorsing a request to payment-company leadership. The retained records do not establish individual appointment dates, compensation, a financial relationship to the campaign or authority to compel a payment restriction. They establish an appointment role and a joint advocacy act.

From the investigation
3. Advisory access: identify who appointed whom
The trial's own stakeholder-board page lists Tankard Reist as Collective Shout's Movement Director. It says Professor Jon Rouse chairs the board and appointed its members. Rouse is also a signatory to the July payment letter above. This is a concrete overlap between campaign cooperation and the trial's appointment channel. The page also lists industry and digital-rights participants; the board cannot fairly be represented as solely Collective Shout's vehicle.
