Albanese Labor has set new standards of lying, about immigration, housing, energy, and social cohesion. He has form, in terms of his malignant "misinformation" bill. Of course he doesn't want young people looking at social media.

It's obvious that no pragmatists were invited to the forming of this policy. A thirteen year old is now smarter than the average Woke politician. sadly though, once in school they get dumbed-down so as not to become a threat to the ruling incompetents.
If Government were to use integrity, sense & responsibility regarding the young, they'd focus on bringing teachers up to scratch instead of stifling the young.
Once a young person is close to adulthood without having had any education in discipline then their only avenue to becoming a responsible citizen is gone. They get the blame, not those who barred them from becoming responsible by barring their parents from instilling discipline.
In Australia One Nation is literally our last hope. That bunch of useless intellectuals on the Woke side must be stopped from causing yet more social & economic & environmental harm.

If kids were taught to reason instead of being indoctrinated, the idea of them seeing other perspectives on the internet wouldn't terrify the likes of cult leader Albo. A MAD bill via the back door. ID card next on the excuse of age verification.

Jewish kids of all ages are forced to drink a glass of wine every Friday evening as part of the Sabbath sacrament ritual... plus whole 4 glasses full of wine during Passover eve's festive meal.

As a result, when they grow they get to hate that "yucky religious stuff" and never become alcoholic.

Here we have the opposite:
When forbidden, children imagine that there is something great and wonderful in social-media, then they will be ensnared like moth to a flame by that harmful practice the very moment they turn 16.

Perhaps that's exactly what government seeks - to turn all adults into alcoholics...

"If kids were taught to reason instead of being indoctrinated, the idea of them seeing other perspectives on the internet wouldn't terrify the likes of cult leader Albo."

It sure terrifies the hell out of Jewish leaders whose kids were taught that the big powerful NAZI's were wrong for attacking the weak and vulnerable Jews with the holocaust, and now see big powerful Israel attacking weak and vulnerable Palestinians, and turn away from supporting Israel because of it.

Totally misplaced comparison, Armchair Critic:

Jewish people do not need to listen to such "Jewish leaders" if they don't want to,
they may completely ignore their laws, they may even stop being Jewish whenever they like.

Not so with Albo: anyone ignoring him and his laws goes to jail.

Hi AC,

No one can say what ideas and individual will form, but isn't it better to teach people to reason and then form their own ideas? Albo's plan seems more about keeping people from what are perceived as bad ideas.

You're a good example of someone forming his own views via unrestricted access to information. That is how it should be.
