Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has spoken following the Australian Government passing a new law to ban social media for children under the age of 16. "Social media is doing harm to our children," Albanese said following the vote. "This has been an issue that has raised with me more, or at least as much as any other issue by people ... we know that it's the right thing to do." It is unclear what social media platforms will be banned by the government, with Communications Minister Michelle Rowland set to decide on that before the laws come into effect in at least 12 months.
