It’s a mistake to reduce the excellent drama ‘Adolescence’ to a discussion of how social media fuels violence and misogyny in boys and men. It also highlights the terrible state of the education system in the UK and multigenerational trauma from male violence www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Deporting your own citizens, dual or not, is the ultimate abrogation of responsibility by a society, and any government that does it is unfit because it doesn't understand the most basic elements of its duties to its own people. It is unconstitutional, as it should be because it is immoral.

If the Albanese govt really wants to protect children from social media harm, their age ban stunt is rushed, will have unintended consequences, and is unlikely to work. And it's probably also unconstitutional, says @profsarahj.bsky.social. #NoAgeBan #auspol theconversation.com/banning-unde...
