QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator TYRRELL (Tasmania—Independent TAS Whip) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Women, Senator Gallagher. In recent weeks, there has been significant focus on the power and damage of toxic, sexist influences online, thanks to the Netflix show Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere. The show captures how 'manfluencers' target young men with content that promotes toxic masculinity and misogyny.

They push far-right nonsense that normalises the hatred of women, often while scamming people out of their money through crypto schemes. How can we stop the online radicalisation of teenage boys?
