Social Media Age Ban Faces Powerful Testimony in Senate Hearing

Today, the Senate held a Committee Hearing on the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024.

This expedited inquiry was scheduled with just one day's notice, as the Liberal and Labor parties want to rush this legislation through.

The first witness, Ms. Lucy Thomas OAM, CEO of Project Rockit, delivered six minutes of the most relevant, heartfelt, and inspirational testimony on the issue of censoring social media for those under 16. Her insights demonstrated the benefit of lived experience.
