Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has backed the ban, urging the government to finalise the bill before Christmas.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged both Houses to pass the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 on Nov. 25.

The Bill will restrict under 16 year olds from accessing social media, with a few exceptions.

“It will be something we can be very proud of. Let’s give parents new peace of mind. Let’s work together,” he told the Parliament, asking them to work together to pass the bill by end of this week.

This is the last session of Parliament for the year.

“Social media companies must take responsibility for the social harm caused by their platforms,” Albanese said.

The bill includes penalties of up to $50 million for companies failing to enforce age restrictions, provides exemptions for essential services like educational tools, as well as privacy protections ensuring the destruction of data used for age verification.

Australian Communications Minister Michelle Rowland added that social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, and X would be blocked.

“This Bill seeks to set a new normative value in…

Doctor reveals troubling signs of lung cancer to get checked
November 25, 2024
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month — an estimated 235,000 new cases of lung cancer and 125,000 deaths are expected to occur this year in the US. Dr. Daniel Sterman, the division director for pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman School of Medicine, talked with us about the risk factors and symptoms of lung cancer and the future of lung cancer treatments. He also warned that it’s not just smokers who can develop the disease — and switching to vaping may not actually reduce your risk. Who is most at risk for developing lung cancer? Patients at greatest risk for lung cancer are those with a history of considerable cigarette smoking — the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years — and are either actively smoking or have quit within the last 15 years. Are there symptoms to look out for? When should I talk to my doctor? Most cases of early lung cancer do not have symptoms, but if you have a cough that hasn’t gone away, unexplained chest pain that persists or a cough that produces mucus with blood in it, you should be evaluated. Lung cancer screening can save lives… Read the full article here […]

93-year-old inmate imprisoned over fatal Tokyo car crash dies
November 25, 2024
A 93-year-old inmate imprisoned over a car crash in which a mother and her young daughter were killed in Tokyo’s busy Ikebukuro district in April 2019 has died of old age, it was learned Monday. Kozo Iizuka, former head of the government’s now-defunct Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, died on Oct. 26, sources said. He was serving a five-year term for negligent driving causing death and injury. In the high-profile accident, the passenger car that Iizuka was driving ran a red light and barreled into a crosswalk, killing Mana Matsunaga, 31, and Riko, 3. Nine others were injured. “I pray from my heart for the soul” of Iizuka, Takuya Matsunaga, the bereaved husband of Mana Matsunaga, said in a post on X. “I want him to apologize to Mana and Riko if he can see them in heaven. At the same time, my heart aches because he had to die in prison.” Matsunaga met with Iizuka in May this year at his prison. Asked if there was anything he wanted to say to elderly people in order to prevent similar accidents, Iizuka asked Matsunaga to tell them to surrender their driver’s licenses soon.

Kazakhstan to boost territorial defence amid Ukraine escalation concerns
November 25, 2024
The president of Kazakhstan on Monday ordered his country’s military to boost its territorial defence and special operations forces, days before close ally President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit. Kazakhstan is part of the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), a mutual defence alliance, though Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has raised concerns in the Central Asian country. The former Soviet republic shares a 7,500-kilometre (4,660-mile) border with Russia and is home to Russian military bases. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev ordered his defence minister “to “intensify cooperation with domestic defence enterprises, develop territorial defence and the special operations forces,” his office said in a statement. Putin is set to visit the Kazakh capital of Astana on Wednesday for a CSTO summit. The Kazakh parliament is currently debating a bill to allow the formation of “self-defence units”, volunteer troops groups that can be integrated into the military and carry out combat missions. The measures are designed to “improve the country’s defence capability,” and are similar to a model that exists in Ukraine. Tokayev last… […]
All Eyes on Trump as UN Nuclear Watchdog Puts Ball Back in Iran’s Court
November 25, 2024
An expert on nuclear disarmament says the International Atomic Energy Agency is a nuclear watchdog, but only the U.N. Security Council has the power to ‘bite.’ News Analysis After an international nuclear watchdog condemned Iran for failing to cooperate with inspectors on Nov. 21, for the second time in five months, Tehran’s response was to promise to ramp up uranium enrichment with “new and advanced centrifuges.” Such brinkmanship has been typical for the past several years, and will only fuel concerns that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. But how have we got to this point? And what might happen when President-elect Donald Trump—who jettisoned the Iran nuclear deal and doled out sanctions—is back in the White House? Olli Heinonen, a former deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the next two months will be telling as far as both the Trump administration’s plans and those of Iran, which will likely have more teeth. “When we look at the developments in Iran, in the region and beyond, the Trump administration will likely take measures to facilitate the building of a more comprehensive approach with better credible enforcement… […]
Taylor Lorenz Throws a Fit, Reveals Her Age After Nate Silver Raises Questions – RedState
November 25, 2024
Nate Silver is a liberal but he has shown he’s sometimes willing to question folks on the left when they’re wrong or silly. On Saturday, he called out former Washington Post writer and current podcaster Taylor Lorenz for being wrong about how the left didn’t have billionaires backing left-wing influencers and that, in reality, there is “more money in progressive circles.” There’s >= more money in progressive circles than in conservative circles. Harris raised more money than Trump. If Talyor Lorenz is mad that she’s not getting more subscribers, maybe it’s because she doesn’t offer a good product. https://t.co/uStWGEv3Ve — Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) November 23, 2024 Silver’s point explains why Kamala Harris raised more money than Trump. Not to mention the control that the left has over virtually all of the mainstream media. The left is mad that its almost total dominance now has to compete with some social media that isn’t completely controlled by leftists like X or influencers who might voice other opinions. Then Silver pointed out that maybe you should question someone who wouldn’t even be straight about the date she was born. Like just a… Read the full article here […]
Getting to the Bottom of Matt Gaetz’s Nomination and Withdrawal
November 25, 2024
It appears that this is as close as we’ll get to the real Matt Gaetz story: his acquaintance, the former tax collector Joel Greenberg, was caught abusing his office to make fake IDs and concealed weapons permits, which led to the discovery of numerous crimes committed by Greenberg in office, financed with money he embezzled and revolving around prostitution and, apparently, trafficking minors to public figures. Greenberg told Barr’s DOJ he could implicate Gaetz in exchange for leniency, and the present investigation into Gaetz was opened. Gaetz’s father Don was then approached by “former” DOJ attorneys and told they could make his problems go away if he gave $25 million to fund the rescue of American hostage Bob Levinson from Iran. Bob Kent would lead the rescue mission, and the payment would appear to be for a service, rather than a bribe to prosecutors. Seven months ago, I clipped together some videos with Gaetz and Scott Adams that go back in time through these allegations, including the infamous Tucker interview, which can be watched here. Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was targeted with the same scheme, down to the dollar, according to Gaetz, and he… Read the full article here […]
