Description

As Australia's social media ban for under-16s comes into effect, we hear from one of the leading advocates for the ban, and the federal Coalition. 

A warning, this episode includes references to suicide and self-harm.

We feature an interview with Mia Bannister. She lost her son, Ollie, to suicide when he was 14 years old after sustained online bullying and an eating disorder, which she says was fuelled by social media algorithms.

Today, Mia will stand beside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the launch of the social media ban.

Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
