The Wieambila inquest did not find any individual or agency fault that caused the six deaths (including the three perpetrators)

Violence, fueled by mental illness and conspiracy theories, might not be predictable — but that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it.

Snap is the next cab off the rank with its announcement how it's going to comply with Australia's teen social media ban from December 10, including its alerts to users.

On top of facial scans and ID to prove your age, Snapchat users can use a bank account to verify their age.

A High Court challenge to the teen social media ban is expected to be filed as early as next week.

An ex-Liberal candidate with a history of anti-trans remarks, Katherine Deves, is working on the challenge which will argue that LGBTQIA+ teens are unfairly burdened by the ban

Just in: Twitch to be included in Australia's teen social media ban, Pinterest excluded.

Instagram/Facebook/Threads users suspected of being under 16 will start getting notifications, emails and texts (!) about their accounts being deactivated, under new information put out by Meta today about how they intend to comply with Australia's teen social media ban.
November 19, 2025 at 1:01 PM
NEW: People have been unable to create Instagram accounts for <16yos, weeks before Australia's teen social media ban is set to kick in.

Meta says it is investigating because, while it intends to comply with the law, it is not yet restricting accounts or testing the feature

NEW: I've got some details about what the government will be tracking to see whether the teen social media ban is a success

It includes info on data the platforms will be forced to hand over and the study of thousands of teens and their carers pre- and post-ban.

I was not aware that LARRY SUMMERS, who features heavily in the recently released Epstein emails, is an OpenAI board member...

'There will be deaths'

That's the fear of a youth worker thinking about the consequences of Australia's teen social media ban.

I wrote about their concerns for their clients, some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged teens, and about their ability to work with them.

Epstein gave feedback on well known cosmologist Lawrence Krauss' response to a BuzzFeed News reporter's questions re: a claim that Krauss' had sexually harrassed someone at an Australian Skeptics event while a professor at ANU (these allegations have been reported in the media)

🚨🚨🚨🚨 crikey is in the epstein files 🚨🚨🚨🚨

(a newsletter received by Epstein featured a link to a Crikey story about Michell Guthrie)

Elisa New, a Harvard poetry/lit professor and wife of former Treasury secretary Larry Summers, wrote an email in 2018 to Epstein telling him that she was going to read "my copy of Lolita" (!) on the plane to Australia
November 13, 2025 at 10:33 AM
Epstein texting someone on the second 2018 Liberal Party spill that saw Malcolm Turnbull ousted for Scott Morrison saying "you had a win in austrailia anti immigration"
November 13, 2025 at 10:27 AM
Epstein was texting with someone (potentially Steve Bannon?) who said "The Australian Cardinal could be the worst" on the day that George Pell was convicted of sexually abusing two choir boys
November 13, 2025 at 10:21 AM
ex prime minister Paul Keating's daughter Katherine Keating emailed people including Epstein to promote her dad's book of speeches. The pair had a back and forth afterwards

Scoop: Meta's (formerly Facebook) Messenger app is set to be in the teen social media ban, accidentally!

Despite the government saying messaging apps will be excluded, the app won't be able to have <16 users because of the law's drafting and the way the platform works.
