It’s always a bit fuzzy to me what kind of articles belong in this community compared to other “world news” communities.
But IMO this is the perfect exemplar. It’s obviously news that’s just straight-up not about Australia. It’s not written for an Australian audience, even. But it’s about a subject that has been getting a lot of Australian-specific attention in recent weeks. The parallels are perfect.
It’s literally a lose-lose-lose policy. It has basically no redeeming qualities. The fact that in the UK it’s age 18 and here it’s age 16, and for them it’s about porn while for us it’s social media, is immaterial. It’s just bad, poorly thought-out policy. They need to go back to the drawing board.
