I am fighting hard for real and effective regulation of Big-Tech’s social media platforms and the harms that they can cause.

We need a systems based approach that holds the Tech Giants accountable for the algorithms that drive their platforms, expose people to harmful content, disseminate misinformation, and profit from outrage and conflict.

The government’s planned 16 year-old age ban for social media platforms doesn’t do any of that.

It’s why I provided my own Private Members’ Bill to parliament to deal with Big-Tech’s algorithms.

And it’s why I couldn’t support Labor’s Social Media legislation as it stands.

[Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 @AustraliaUN]

Australia 🇦🇺 is committed to advocating for children's rights at the @UN.

This week, Deputy Ambassador H.E Rebecca Bryant met with representatives from @ChildFundAU and @ChildFundAll to hear more about the critical work they are doing to promote children’s rights in our region.

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

@UNICEF @BRACworld @UNFPA @save_children @dfat @AusHCBangladesh Australia’s support for the Rohingya is part of our work towards a peaceful, stable and prosperous region.

Australia and our international partners are working together to support an enduring and sustainable solution to the crisis.

Voted. Next week we keep fighting for rights of Blackfellas - it’s not gonna stop. We just strategise and continue re-defining what justice means.

Today, I'm backed by my senator, @DavidPocock, in launching my campaign to establish a duty of care owed by politicians to young people, ensuring that our health and wellbeing is considered when making decisions that could affect the climate system.

Met representatives of @ChildFundAU on #InternationalWomansDay today to discuss the rights of women and girls.

There are critical issues to be faced and addressed in many parts of the world, such as poverty, violence and civil unrest.

@ACFID @PatConroy1 It would be great to be able to show the composite picture of international development that directly & specifically targets children & young people. As a 1st step, can the Minister @PatConroy1 provide clarity on key priorities for children & young people in Tuesday's Budget?

[ChildFund Australia @ChildFundAU]

We welcome @SenatorWong announcement of an additional $375 million in aid to the Pacific - an exciting boost to the $525 already committed.

We also encourage Ministers to maintain a strong focus on human development incl. that of children & young people.

A privilege to meet with @Malala to discuss practical steps to ensure Afghan girls have access to an education.

We heard from students whose lives have been changed by the Taliban’s denial of this right. One shared her message to the world: “Do not look away”
