Nevena and Macca talk to Sarah Joseph, from the Conversation.
On November 21 2024, the Albanese government unveiled its bill to introduce a minimum age of 16 for most social media platforms. The government claims the bill is necessary to protect children from social harm–but is this actually silencing young people and taking them out of the political conversation? Is this bill rip for a high-court ruling?
