Ugh. Discordant message on the Sydney Harbour bridge photographed for the NYTimes story on social media ban for under-16s. Not just Lego green & ick flouro yellow but sanctimonious 'Let Them Be Kids' from a country which jails Indigenous kids & hasn't held the childcare industry to account.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

spot on
We've designed cities to be hostile to children's play; we've closed libraries, public swimming pools; installed street furniture that stops them skateboarding; moves them on if they're 'loitering'. And now we've banned social media so they'll 'get outside and play'.
