The Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 is important for families and parental responsibility, yet we were given only one hour to debate it. It’s another Labor-Liberal stitch-up to control everyone through digital identity and misinformation bills. We support the Greens in this, because parents should be the ones to supervise their […]

Despite campaigning on honesty and transparency, Labor is using every trick to keep Australians in the dark about their decisions.
