Daniel’s bill would implement an overarching statutory duty of care on social media companies, with the goal being “safety by design”. “What you need to make that work is the companies to assess the risks, mitigate the risks, and be transparent about how they’re doing that,” Daniel told ABC News Breakfast. “The bill also has a provision to enable users to have control over the algorithm as exists overseas, particularly in the EU, enabling users to either reset or turn off their algorithm if they wish.” Independent MP Zoe Daniel. Credit: Alex Ellinghausen Daniel says her work in the space began with tackling eating disorders, with a working group revealing the damage the algorithm was doing to sufferers by delivering them more content about eating disorders. She says the same trend is seen in a range of public health issues including gambling. Loading “The problem with the algorithm is that in many ways, it compounds negative behaviour, and particularly for young people - that can send young people into a real spiral,” Daniel said. “The legislation is based on international best practice, so in effect, it cherry-picks the best of legislation that is already in place in Europe and in the UK.” The Goldstein MP said the government have been responsive to her proposal, and flagged they would consider duty of care eventually. But Daniel hopes the government will consider her bill now. “I understand why they want to do [the under 16s social media ban] because it is a lever to pull now and it makes parents feel better, but it actually makes zero difference to what is happening on the platforms. It doesn’t manage the algorithm or force the platforms to do anything about what is happening in their environment.” 3.50am Social media giants attack ‘rushed’ consult for ban Social media companies, including Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta, have taken aim at the “rushed” consultation process for the ban on children under 16. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland introduced the world-leading reform to parliament last Thursday, which she said would make the online environment better for young people. The consultation period for groups and individuals to make submissions closed on Friday. A Senate committee held a one-day hearing on Monday and is due to report back on Tuesday. In submissions to the inquiry, several groups, including social media companies, pointed to the short notice period. Loading Snap Inc. wrote that “the extremely compressed timeline” had allowed stakeholders little more than 24 hours to provide a response, which “severely” constrained thorough analysis and informed debate. X, formerly Twitter, also criticised the “unreasonably short time frame of one day”, writing that it has “serious concerns as to the lawfulness of the bill”. Meta, which owns Facebook, wrote that there had been “minimal consultation or engagement” and urged the government to wait for the results of the age assurance trial before progressing with the legislation. TikTok said that despite the “time-limited review”, there was a range of “serious, unresolved problems” that the government must clarify to ensure there wouldn’t be unintended consequences for all Australians. AAP 3.44am Housing bill passes, but several bills remain on the brink By David Crowe Labor has gained a crucial concession from the Greens after a year of dispute over a $5.5 billion plan to help young Australians buy their first homes, securing the policy with a stunning back down from the minor party. The decisions late on Monday delivered a big victory to the federal government in the final week of parliament for the year, but other bills are on the brink of defeat after Senate crossbenchers blasted Labor for trying to rush through changes on the environment, political donations and other issues.

Labor has gained a crucial concession from the Greens after a year of dispute over a $5.5 billion housing plan, but other bills are on the brink of defeat after Senate crossbenchers blasted Labor for trying to rush through changes on various issues. Social media companies including Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta have taken aim at the “rushed” consultation process for the proposal ban on children under 16. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has revealed the budget bottom line is getting worse ahead of the looming federal election, with warnings he faces a $27 billion blowout over the next four years. Overseas, Israel’s cabinet will meet on Tuesday to approve a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, with expectations that an accord could be announced “within hours”.

Criminal defense attorney Brian Claypool joins ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’ manslaughter case dismissed by the judge. Alec Baldwin believes that Americans have a misunderstanding of the world's most pressing problems. The reason for this, he explained at a recent event, is that they're uneducated and led astray by the mass media. The 66-year-old "Rust" actor, this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, commented on the media's influence in reporting news.

He added, "There's a hole. There's a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans." He continued, "Americans are very uninformed about reality – what's really going on.

Baldwin believes that the film industry – one he's been a part of for decades – plays a role as well. "That vacuum is filled by the film industry. Not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry – which are very important around the world. But by narrative films, as well. Where the filmmakers and the buyers, the studios, and the networks and the streamers, are willing to go that way. They're willing to try it." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

The motion led by opposition parties passed with 192 of the 300 votes amid rowdy scenes by ruling People Power Party members who surrounded the speaker's podium chanting the vote was invalid and parliament had committed "tyranny." The impeachment of Han, who has been acting president since Yoon was impeached on 14 December for declaring martial law on 3 December, has thrown South Korea's once-vibrant democratic success story into uncharted territory. How South Korea's martial law chaos unfolded, and what could happen next Ahead of the parliamentary session, opposition leader Lee Jae-myung said accused Han of "acting for insurrection". "The only way to normalise the country is to swiftly root out all the insurrection forces," Lee said in a fiery speech, adding the party was acting on the public order to eradicate those who have put the country at risk. The plan for a vote to impeach Han was unveiled on Thursday by the main opposition Democratic Party after he declined to immediately appoint three justices to fill vacancies at the Constitutional Court, saying it would exceed his acting role. Source: Getty / Jung Yeon-JE/AFP Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok will assume the acting presidency by law. Choi had warned that impeaching the acting president would seriously damage the country's economic credibility and asked political parties to withdraw the plan. "The economy and the people's livelihoods are walking on thin ice under a national state of emergency and it cannot cope with any greater political uncertainty that will result from another acting president assuming the acting presidency," he said. The South Korean won weakened to a low of 1,486.7 to the dollar on Friday, the weakest since March 2009, as analysts said there was little to reverse the negative sentiment stemming from the political uncertainty. The vote to impeach Han came on the same day the Constitutional Court held its first hearing in a case reviewing whether to overturn the impeachment and reinstate Yoon or remove him permanently from office. Speaking for the court in a preparatory hearing, Justice Cheong Hyung-sik said the court will move swiftly on the case considering its gravity. The hearing follows weeks of defiance by Yoon ignoring requests by the court to submit documents as well as summons by investigators in a separate criminal case over his martial law declaration. Yoon shocked the country and the world with a late-night announcement on 3 December that he was imposing martial law to overcome political deadlock and root out "anti-state forces". South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol suspended from presidential duties after impeachment vote The military deployed special forces to the national assembly, the election commission, and the office of a liberal YouTube commentator. It also issued orders banning activity by parliament and political parties, as well as calling for government control of the media. But within hours 190 lawmakers had defied the cordons of troops and police and voted against Yoon's order and about six hours after his initial decree, Yoon rescinded the order. Yoon and senior members of his administration also face criminal investigations for insurrection.

The Miami Dolphins have set themselves up for a potential playoff push. After a 2-6 start and missing Tua Tagovailoa for a few weeks, the Dolphins looked dead in the water. They've flipped the narrative, winning their last two games against the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders . They still have some work to do if they want to reach the postseason, as Miami's currently slated as the No.9 seed in the AFC. The 5-6 Indianapolis Colts and 6-5 Denver Broncos stand in their way of capturing the final playoff spot. The Dolphins could very well sneak into the playoffs if their final seven games go as planned. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler believes that the Dolphins are the team that can make the most noise if they reach the playoffs. The Dolphins have woken up from a 2-6 slumber with back-to-back wins, having scored 111 points since Tua Tagovailoa returned from a concussion four weeks ago. The roster is talented enough to make a run, with playmakers galore on offense and a defense finding its rhythm. The remaining schedule is manageable, too: Houston and Green Bay are tough to beat, but the Jets (who are on the schedule twice), Patriots and Browns have proven to be the opposite. San Francisco in Week 16 seems like a winnable game based on the 49ers' current trajectory. They won't be able to compete with the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East, but the Dolphins look like a team on a mission to reach the playoffs by any means possible.US to send $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine, pushing to get aid out before Biden leaves office WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the United States is expected to announce it will send another $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. It's part of a push by the Biden administration to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20. Officials say the large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds. The officials say they expect the announcement will be made on Monday. They spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's political coalition WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in the president-elect’s political movement into public display. The argument previews fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — that is, wealthy members of the tech world who want more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. A 9th telecoms firm has been hit by a massive Chinese espionage campaign, the White House says WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official says a ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies, as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, a deputy national security adviser, said Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. Warren Upton, the oldest living survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor, dies at 105 HONOLULU (AP) — The oldest living survivor of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the last remaining survivor of the USS Utah has died. He was 105. Warren Upton died Wednesday at a hospital in Los Gatos, California. Kathleen Farley, the California state chair of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, says he suffered a bout of pneumonia. The Utah was moored at Pearl Harbor when Japanese planes began bombing the Hawaii naval base in the early hours of Dec. 7, 1941. The attack propelled the U.S. into World War II. Israeli troops forcibly remove staff and patients from northern Gaza hospital, officials say DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza's Health Ministry says Israeli troops have stormed one of the last hospitals operating in the territory's north and forced many of the staff and patients outside. Then they had to remove their clothes in winter weather. Friday's incident was the latest assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital. Staff say it has been hit multiple times in the past three months by Israeli troops waging an offensive against Hamas fighters in the surrounding neighborhoods. Israel's military says Hamas uses the hospital as a base. It did not provide evidence, and hospital officials have denied it. Azerbaijani and U.S. officials suggest plane that crashed may have been hit by weapons fire U.S. and Azerbaijani officials have said weapons fire may have brought down an Azerbaijani airliner that crashed on Wednesday, killing 38 people. The statements from Rashad Nabiyev and White House national security spokesman John Kirby on Friday raised pressure on Russia. Officials in Moscow have said a drone attack was underway in the region that the Azerbaijan Airlines flight was destined for but have not addressed statements from aviation experts who blamed the crash on Russian air defenses responding to a Ukrainian attack. The plane was flying from Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to Chechnya on Wednesday when it crashed, killing 38 people and leaving all 29 survivors injured. Court rules Georgia lawmakers can subpoena Fani Willis for information related to her Trump case ATLANTA (AP) — A judge has ruled that the Georgia state Senate can subpoena Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. It's part of a inquiry into whether Willis has engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump. But Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram is giving Willis the chance to contest whether lawmakers’ demands are overly broad before Willis responds. A Republican-led committee was formed earlier this year and sent subpoenas to Willis in August seeking to compel her to testify during its September meeting and to produce scores of documents. Willis argued that the committee didn’t have the power to subpoena her. US homelessness up 18% as affordable housing remains out of reach for many people Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that federally required tallies taken across the country in January found that more than 770,000 people were counted as homeless. That increase comes on top of a 12% increase in 2023, which HUD blamed on soaring rents and the end of pandemic assistance. Among the most concerning trends was a nearly 40% rise in family homelessness. What Snoop wants: Arizona Bowl gives NIL opportunities to players for Colorado State, Miami (Ohio) TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — When Snoop Dogg agreed to become the sponsor of the Arizona Bowl, he had a demand: It must have a NIL component. Other bowls have provided NIL chances for single players the past few years, but the Arizona Bowl is believed to be the first to offer NIL compensation to every player on both Colorado State and Miami (Ohio). The players participated in youth clinics before Saturday's game and will be compensated for their time. Alex Ovechkin is on track to break Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals is chasing the NHL career goals record of 894 held by Wayne Gretzky. Ovechkin entered the season 42 goals short of breaking a record that long seemed unapproachable. He is set to play again Saturday at the Toronto Maple Leafs after missing more than a month with a broken left fibula. Ovechkin was on pace to get to 895 sometime in February before getting injured. At 868, he his 27 goals away from passing Gretzky.

And while the Lakers still feel good about that contract, one anonymous NBA scout says they will never win the title with Reaves playing such a prominent role. “If he's [Austin Reaves] your third-best player, you're not a championship contender, you're just not," said the scout, via ESPN's Dave McMenamin . "If you put Austin Reaves on the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Boston Celtics, he's probably the fifth, maybe even sixth-best player, on those rosters.” Reaves played his way into prominence during the 2022-23 season, when he averaged 13.0 points, 3.4 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game on 52.9% shooting. He finished 6th in Sixth Man of the Year voting as he helped the Lakers reach the Western Conference Finals. Austin has since been tapped as the Lakers' third option and his stats have slowly risen with each passing season. In this campaign, he's sitting at a career-high 16.7 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds on 44.0% shooting. But as Reaves has improved his play, and taken a bigger role within the team, the Lakers have fallen off progressively harder. This season, with Reaves at his best, the Lakers are still not good enough to challenge the NBA's elite ball clubs, such as the Oklahoma City Thunder , Boston Celtics , and Dallas Mavericks . This season, the Lakers are 8th in the West at 13-11 and are just one game ahead of the 11th-place Spurs. Simply put, the Lakers just don't have enough firepower to contend with the best teams in the league. Besides an aging LeBron James and Antony Davis , the Lakers don't have another player that they can rely on to get buckets and get stops when they need them. The fact that Reaves, who is just 26 years old, is the Lakers' third-best option right now says a lot about where they stand as a team. Compare Reaves to other teams' third options (like Paul George for the 76ers, Kristaps Porzingis for the Celtics, or Mikal Bridge for the Knicks) and it's clear that the Lakers are at least a tier behind some of the best contenders. Of course, there's still time for the Lakers to change this reality. With many weeks to go before the trade deadline, they could use Reaves and perhaps another rotation player, to try and make a deal for a proper third option. Currently, we know that Rob Pelinka is on the hunt for guys such as Nikola Vucevic , Jonas Valanciunas , and Nic Claxton , who will be eligible for trade after December 15th. Any of them could be a viable third option for the Lake Show, but it remains to be seen if they have the assets to secure a deal. As it stands now, the Lakers just don't have enough depth or talent to keep up with the NBA's elite squads and that's a real shame given that LeBron James is trying to win one more title before retirement. The Lakers' next game is tonight, against the Sacramento Kings, at 10:00 PM EST at Golden 1 Center. It's the first game of a back-to-back set in Sacramento, with the second game scheduled for December 21st at 6:00 PM EST.

Israeli troops forcibly remove staff and patients from northern Gaza hospital, officials say

VANCOUVER — A family of killer whales has made a rare trip into waters off downtown Vancouver for what an expert says was likely a "grocery shopping" hunt for harbour seals. Video shared on social media by False Creek Ferries shows the whales cruising past highrise towers at the entrance to False Creek on Sunday. Andrew Trites, director of the University of British Columbia's marine mammal research unit, has identified the whales as a family group of transient orcas consisting of a mother and her three offspring. He says it's the first time the 26-year-old mother, known as T35A, has shown up in downtown Vancouver with her offspring aged six, 11 and 14. Trites says the well documented family has previously been seen by marine researchers from Alaska to the Juan de Fuca Strait south of Vancouver Island. He attributes the pod's surprising downtown appearance to seals also changing their habits as they hide from orcas, forcing killer whales to hunt in backwater areas like False Creek. Trites says the video shows the whales moving quietly like "ghosts" to avoid alerting their prey. Killer whales have previously been spotted in False Creek, including in 2019, and in 2010 a grey whale swam all the way to the end of the inlet, near Science World.
