“The evidence base for the underage social media ban is poor – and yet it’s that bill being rushed through parliament, not the partial gambling ad ban, much less the full ban.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... - ThreadSky

Wonder what nuclear / Defence hell they’ve rushes through in the meantime.

Weird priorities that's for sure.

Different policy area, same vibe.
Let's parents know you are doing everything in your power to do their job for them.

It's like the ALP are trying to lose the election next year!

@australianlabor.bsky.social Xmas wish list before an election 🗳️ guess their ‘think tank’ political strategists took an early holiday from their performance when elected

I’m a bit tired of Albo dropping the ball and not doing what Australia needs and playing politics. 3 years ago I supported him.
Like millions of others that is gone.
But Dutton is evil.

jaksays.bsky.social•96 days ago

How the F does Albanese have me hoping Dutton rides in to be the saviour??????

dazedjosh.bsky.social•96 days ago

The most disappointing thing about this, like most of the recent bills put forward by the government of @albomp.bsky.social, is how little they appear to be doing for people who are doing it tough. I voted Labour because they promised action, but instead they're in a race to become LNP Lite.

femx.bsky.social•96 days ago

If only they’d deal with poverty, affordable housing and DV - issues that have a far greater impact on kids - with the same level of urgency

eschertology.bsky.social•96 days ago

@albomp.bsky.social is a gutless, spineless, dissembling, war mongering, genocide-enabling disgrace

Guess the Gambling Industry donates more than the Social Media giants who view #auspol as inconsequential

Online now. Inquiry into Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024

Nope ... blinked and it's over. Such commitment to stakeholder consultation!

dcbrogden.bsky.social•96 days ago

What a pity Thug Dutton thinks politics is just a game and not somethiing whose purpose is to serve the welfare of the people! May it bite him eventually in his fat arse!!!

This is all an extension of the Morrison social media plan to facilitate defo cases against ‘anonymous online trolls’. The net isn’t being cast for just under 16’s.

psychinoz.bsky.social•96 days ago

Looking through some of the submissions, even Young Labor Left thinks it's garbage. https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Environment_and_Communications/SocialMediaMinimumAge/Submissions #auspol

emmme.bsky.social•96 days ago

What's the rush? Surely there are bigger issues atm? Such a disappointment, this govt.

kenobee.bsky.social•96 days ago

I'm guessing Rupert wants it for Christmas.

fitzroy777.bsky.social•96 days ago

Labor is like a man trimming tree branches while they stand on the outside of the tree. (And yes, gender specific is intentional)

jeremytanner.bsky.social•96 days ago

The under age social media ban is an experiment. It's outcomes will inform the rest of the world who will watch with interest.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•96 days ago

It’s not just young people. Will you enjoy handing your identity to every platform you are on? VPN providers will make enormous profits out of this.

4humans.bsky.social•96 days ago

Aren't we told to never divulge birth dates...identity fraud? I don't know what the Government is thinking.

sago1950.bsky.social•96 days ago

"I don't know what the Government is thinking."
Small change:
I don't know that the Government is thinking.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•96 days ago

I don’t think anyone does. Scarily not even them. if thinking is even involved. 😳

leelandski.bsky.social•96 days ago

Those kids need to pool their lunch money and hire some heavy hitting lobbyists

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•96 days ago

Desperate and thoughtless.

docbaty.bsky.social•96 days ago

I wonder if this is all part of a clever election ploy: get into government using a small target strategy, and then deliver small (or not at all) while in power, setting up your next small target election campaign.

borrett.bsky.social•96 days ago

It would be interesting to know where the ACT & NSW Labor owned gambling venues advertise and how much they spend.

kimcarrera007.bsky.social•96 days ago

Vote out the UNIPARTY at the next election

bygonediva.bsky.social•96 days ago

It's almost like Labor forgot to set the alarm & slept in.
