A fair go for young Australians in this election? Voters are weighing up intergenerational inequity

Gen Z and Millennials will outnumber Boomer voters at the election. Does that mean we will see policies to close the growing wealth divide between the generations?

It’s a mistake to reduce the excellent drama ‘Adolescence’ to a discussion of how social media fuels violence and misogyny in boys and men. It also highlights the terrible state of the education system in the UK and multigenerational trauma from male violence

From the police to the prime minister: how Adolescence is making Britain face up to toxic masculinity

The Netflix drama isn’t just a critical smash – its tale of social media-fuelled violence to women by young boys has forced a national debate in the UK that might lead to genuine political change

Deporting your own citizens, dual or not, is the ultimate abrogation of responsibility by a society, and any government that does it is unfit because it doesn't understand the most basic elements of its duties to its own people. It is unconstitutional, as it should be because it is immoral.

Lots of talk about WFH & productivity in the Australian Public Service, handily UNSW did a 2024 report on it

It found APS productivity isn't impacted by hybrid work & giving employees more autonomy w/ flexibility led to sustained productivity + employee engagement

Australia has passed new rules banning children under 16 years from social media, yet University of Queensland researchers have found little evidence linking social media to youth mental illness.

They write why a public health response may lead to more positive outcomes.

Young people today spend about 40-50 percent more time alone than their counterparts did in 2010. Loneliness pandemic, poor mental health, and pessimistic worldview surely are linked.

If the Albanese govt really wants to protect children from social media harm, their age ban stunt is rushed, will have unintended consequences, and is unlikely to work.

And it's probably also unconstitutional, says @profsarahj.bsky.social. #NoAgeBan #auspol

Banning under-16s from social media may be unconstitutional – and ripe for High Court challenge

This bill may well fall foul of the implied freedom of political communication by cutting children out of large parts of social media conversation.
