Thank you, Senator Walker, for your second supplementary question. We have fewer than 100 days until the start of the Albanese Labor government's world-leading social media minimum-age restriction—fewer than 100 days until we give kids the chance to build a real-world connection. That's fewer than 100 days until our kids are empowered to know who they are before platforms assume who they are.

Australian parents know the Albanese Labor government has their backs. We stand on the side of each family faced with an increasingly scary and dangerous digital environment. Social media has a social responsibility, and our government will continue to hold it to account.
