In the last hours of Parliament for 2024, Australia became the first country to ban under-16s from social media. The ban is set to come into effect within the next year and will include Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, and Reddit. In today’s deep dive, we explore how the ban will work, and why the Government has pushed ahead with this world-first measure.

Federal Parliament will today debate new hate speech and gun control legislation, in the wake of the Bondi terror attack that killed 15 innocent people last month. The Government initially planned to introduce a single bill covering multiple reforms, but widespread opposition has forced it to split the legislation into two bills. Today, we're breaking down what's in these bills and why they've proven so controversial.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Billi FitzSimons
