I thank my friend the 'cracking' member for Corangamite for her question.

An honourable member: We're back!

We are back! I've talked in the House about why I think we need a digital detox in our schools. I'm not talking about getting rid of it altogether, but I do think that we need a little less tech and a bit more pen and paper. I think we all know when we write something down with a pen or a pencil it's more likely to stick in the noggin than if you type it down. We're more likely to remember it. I can advise the House that next week, when education ministers meet, we're going to have a look at potential changes to the NAPLAN tests that our kids sit every year—in particular, whether the writing test should go back to pen and paper and, in particular, whether it should for kids in primary school.

There's another benefit of a bit less tech. We've just got a report out from Macquarie University, and I think some of the stuff in this report will shock and surprise members here. What it says is that kids in year 11 and kids in year 12 are now spending an average of about an hour and a half a day on their screens at school, looking at things that aren't about school. I'm talking about gaming, talking about googling, talking about—well, I hope they're not watching question time! I'm talking about watching TV and watching sport and sending messages to their mates. Think about that. That's an hour and a half a day. That's the equivalent of two classes. Something is happening here. I'm not anti tech, but this is not helping our kids to learn. That's why I'm arguing for a digital detox.

I'm also asked about the threats that our kids face online. I can't think of anything worse than these nudify apps that allow sickos to cut and paste a picture of our kids and stick it onto a naked body and send it out to the world to humiliate them. It is disgusting. I ask us to think about this: how many times do you think these apps have been downloaded by Aussies in the last month? The answer is 200,000. It should be zero. There was a bloke in Queensland the other day that was sent to jail for using one of these apps against a 13-year-old girl. Her mum gave evidence in the court about the burden she faces knowing she's kept this as a secret from her daughter and that one day she's going to find out all about this. The truth is that it should never happen in the first place, right? This bloke should never have had access to an app to be able to do this to her daughter in the first place. That's what the digital duty of care legislation will help us to stop, to be able to take these things down. This week, we've got a chance here to come together to stop sickos like this and to help protect our kids. All we've got to do is vote for it.
