SenateWednesday 9 September 2026

Online Safety Amendment (Strengthening Enforcement for the Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2026

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (18:51): I can update the Senate. The information I provided before was correct. We've released an exposure draft.

There will be a two-week consultation on that exposure draft. We will seek to introduce the legislation in mid-October and, of course, we'll be in the hands of the Senate for the scrutiny of that legislation.
