Good afternoon.

Anthony Albanese has called the beginning of Australia’s under-16s social media ban a “proud day” for him to be prime minister. Albanese told an event celebrating the launch that the ban would not be perfect from day one, but suggested it would one day stand alongside Australia’s other great world-leading reforms.
