Aussie Government Shenanigans - Blog Posts

So that happened tonight...

Still in the early waves but seriously, the bill was introduced last week, with a three hour hearing and a laughable inquiry...and it passed.

"Companies could be fined up to $50 million for failing to take "reasonable steps" to keep under 16s off their platforms" but no consequences for parents or under 16 yo who'll eventually end up on those sites.

It's the equivalent of sticking a band aid on an injury without even looking at what the injury is or how it was caused.

It's got 12 months, so maybe, just maybe, there'll be amendments to actually address the issues they're trying to fix, but knowing them, probably not.
