## Resource

Australia’s human rights commissioner is sounding the alarm over the government’s rush to toughen penalties for tech companies failing to remove underage users, warning that bigger fines and expanded powers won’t fix the gaping holes in the original social media ban — which has never even led to a single prosecution. As the Greens and Coalition send the new proposals, including harsher gambling ad rules, to Senate inquiries over the break, the commissioner argues that rushing ahead without proper scrutiny is dangerous, especially in online safety where mistakes can have lasting harm. She calls for patience and thorough review, criticizing the rushed passage of the original law and insisting that getting policy right — not just done fast — is the real priority.
