And how will digital platforms determine whether someone is under the age of 16? Any age assurance mechanism will introduce privacy risks for all users, with no guarantee that children will be any safer
#BREAKING 🚨 Anthony Albanese has just announced the government will seek to ban teenagers under the age of 16 from social media
The announcement confirms the exact age restrictions that will be imposed

Today The Greens announced our plan to get the government back into the business of building homes through the Public Builder.
The public builder is a 100% publicly owned, not-for-profit building company, selling and renting genuinely affordable, well designed homes.

Hey fellow youths, we know you're also scared of checking your letterbox more than once a month, but how about you go check yours? Like today preferably? 📮

The “rules-based order” boils down to this: The states of the imperial core can use unlimited violence to secure access to the lands, resources and labour of the global South, including gross violations of international law, and with total impunity. But any use of violence in resistance by the people of the South, even if minimal, and even if it is within the bounds of international law, can legitimately be punished with apocalyptic devastation.

Australians want their leaders to act now to make housing more affordable. This is too important to wait.
Yet today, the Liberals and Greens teamed up to block more help to buy a home.
Help to Buy would mean a smaller deposit and getting first home owners in the door faster.
We won't wait around while the Liberals and Greens play politics, which is why we're rolling out our $32 billion Homes for Australia plan.
We've got an ambitious target of 1.2 million new homes, and we're getting on with building tens of thousands more social and affordable homes.
We're working with states and territories to cut red tape and speed up approvals, and we're training a huge number of tradies at fee-free TAFE to build more homes.
We've boosted rent assistance, and we're renovating vacant properties so families can move in.
We’re stepping up to help more Australians buy a home. The Liberals and Greens are teaming up to get in the way.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Senate voted against a suspension of standing orders, as Labor does not have the numbers to pass a bill without negotiating. It has not been negotiating.
The Senate did not vote to block the Bill, which will be voted on in two months.

Anthony Albanese has worked in politics since he left uni. For 40 years, he’s crawled, fought, dealed and backstabbed his way to the top - only to do absolutely nothing once he gets there.
What was the point?

Remember *last week* when Albanese said his government wouldn’t count LGBTIQ people in the census because it would be a distraction from cost of living relief

The final countdown to the Local Government election is on. In just over a month voters will begin receiving their ballot packs and it's crucial that before they do, every voter in St Kilda Ward receives a “Vote 1 Tim Baxter” how-to-vote-card

If this continues, this means:
- Labor will have no seats in the Darwin-Palmerston area, the Greens will have 1
- Every single Labor MP in the NT is now of Aboriginal descent
- The Greens are represented in every state and territory parliament for the first time in history

In 2019, Labor MP Stephen Jones claimed while in opposition that then-Liberal minister Michael Sukkar had "interfered" with the census after expressing to the ABS a preference about the inclusion of gender and sexual orientation questions
Now Labor is dumping the same questions

Up, up, profits are up.
Coles have posted a $1.1 billion profit.
At the same time, demand for food relief services in Victoria are at any all-time high, with millions unable to afford the basics.

As for marriage equality I have previously noted how supporters were never granted a conscience vote while they were in the minority, but when supporting marriage equality became a platform position there was still a conscience vote for opponents for another seven years.

NYT: “While many in France cheered what appeared to be a loss for the far right, others were fearful of what the far left might bring.”
The terrifying stuff the left wants to bring:

Her citizenship issue was widely reported in 2022 and would survive a challenge based on the Sykes v Cleary High Court judgment. Nobody challenged then so raising it now is at best mischievous.

To repeat: in the last week, two teen attackers were inspired by neo-Nazi Brenton Tarrant to commit attacks of their own with knives. Now, the Labor Party line is to call an anti-genocide Muslim woman Senator who wears a hijab a "rat." Dehumanising and racist, with zero shame.
We’ve had rats before, we’ll have rats again
They usually end up forgotten, scorned & alone
A rat with 1600 votes whose only issue is a non-issue for the majority of people in the state she’s supposed to represent as a Labor Senator will disappear quicker than most rats #auspol
