MICHAEL DE PERCY | Chinese social media giant TikTok is set to launch a constitutional challenge to Australia’s controversial social media ban for under 16-year-olds. This comes amid calls to decrease the voting age to 16. spectator.com.au/2025/07/albos-…
Why are we paying for propaganda? This is an advertisement and needs to be labelled as such.
Experts say Beijing's commitment to renewable energy is revolutionising the country's energy usage, and it could impact the fight against global warming and a key Australian industry. ab.co/4lQOe91
Political advertising is meant to state who authorised it...
“Quite clearly it is a breach of international law to stop food” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticises Israel for humanitarian crisis in Gaza. #ABCInsiders #auspol
Authorised by the Australian Labor Party.
“YouTube can potentially have harmful impacts on children” The #ABCInsiders panel: Samantha Maiden, Paul Sakkal and Shalailah Medhora discuss whether the government should ban YouTube. #auspol
A proscribed terrorist organisation kills and kidnaps Israeli citizens and @albo says Israel is the bad guy afr.com/politics/feder…
Even the UK isn't recognising Palestine. thetimes.com/article/06dfc5…
THE POLITICAL FLÂNEUR: It’s time to give 16-year-olds the vote politicalscience.com.au/2025/07/its-ti…
Here's a thought. Politicians wanting to give our money to foreigners should fund it personally.
The world’s top court has spoken: failing to tackle climate change could breach international law. Climate justice is being fought in the courts, but it shouldn’t have to be this way. It’s time for the govt to step up and protect future generations. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
Never a clearer indication that Australia needs to exit from the UN system and the ICJ.
A group of Pacific island law students may have just changed climate outcomes. Their actions led to the ICJ declaring countries have a legal obligation to tackle climate change. This should inform Australia’s new emissions target for 2035 & bolder action. bbc.com/future/article…

Tradies have hit out at the government’s plan to spend $16 billion on cutting student debt, accusing Labor of forcing working-class voters to subsidise elite university graduates. skynews.com.au/australia-news… #sydney
'OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE, OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT' - giving 16-year-olds the vote signifies the government sees them as fully functioning adults with the same rights & responsibilities. In which case - there are a lot of other things that need to be amended.🤔 spectator.com.au/2025/07/its-ti…
16yr olds will serve on juries, gamble legally, and stand for election. They will no longer be children, so parents won't pay or receive child support. They won't be eligible for secondary schooling - adults should not be in such proximity to children. spectator.com.au/2025/07/its-ti…
I'm all for changing the voting age to 16. Last time the voting age was changed, it led to other rights and responsibilities for those who attained the arbitrary age of majority. It’s time to give 16-year-olds the vote spectator.com.au/2025/07/its-ti…
The socialist Greens are going the way of all socialists.
‘This is not the party people like Bob Brown and I set up.’ Many commentators have referred to the Greens’ increasingly radical trans 🏳️⚧️ and pro-Palestine 🇵🇸 positions as moving away from protecting the environment. spectator.com.au/2025/07/the-gr…
The headline says it all. What have we become? theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…
So we can presume this means the Teals will be opposing the Under 16 social media ban - otherwise they are complete and utter hypocrites
If you can leave school, get a job, and pay taxes, you should have a say on the things that matter to you. It’s time to drop the voting age to 16 and give young Australians the voice they deserve. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-1…
