The G7 Rapid Response Mechanism (G7 RRM) was established by leaders at the 2018 G7 Summit in Charlevoix to strengthen coordination among G7 countries to identify and respond to diverse and evolving foreign threats to democracy. The definition of these threats was intentionally broad to account for the evolving threat landscape and includes hostile state activities that target democratic institutions and processes, the media and information environment, and the exercise of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
In 2023, this included support for the New South Wales state election.
