Social media ban. Walmart walks back on DEI. NT coronial inquiry.
Description
An astounding 45 bills passed in the last sitting week for Parliament this week, one being the social media ban on children under 16 years of age. Will it actually work?
This week, Angela Priestley and Tarla Lambert-Patel also chat about the widespread backlash from conservatives on DEI initiatives at Walmart in the US. Plus, the coronial inquiry in the Northern Territory has resulted in 35 recommendations to improve services for victims of domestic, family and sexual violence. We’ll talk through the findings.
