Yeah the speed with which the social media minimum age law was passed was astonishing. The public had just 24 hours to make submissions, and those submissions—thousands of them—were given just 4 hours of consideration by the parliamentary committee.

Not an invasive surveillance power, but an extremely untransparent piece of rushed legislation that's already proving an abject failure as predicted by the many critics.
