Australia plans to strengthen laws banning children under 16 from social media after evidence showed the current ban is failing. The government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is considering stronger measures as data revealed many underage children still hold accounts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Other countries, including the UK and Canada, have also introduced similar age-based restrictions.

RMIT University dropped a misconduct case against student Gemma Seymour, who accused the institution of being complicit in Gaza genocide due to its ties with weapons companies. The decision followed Guardian Australia's report on Seymour's potential suspension over a critical social media video.
