'Why do Facebook's laws of the jungle trump Australia's laws of the land?' Mr Albanese will query in a speech today.
Anthony Albanese has called for parliament to debate any decision to go to war, as part of a broader plan to improve trust in Australia's democracy.
Bob Hawke allowed two days of parliamentary debate after his cabinet decided to join the first Gulf War. Having taken an electoral hit in Queensland over Labor's confusing stance on the coal industry, Mr Albanese says those who advocate change need to understand the viewpoints of"those who will feel insecure by that change".
He will pledge to work with media companies and journalists to enshrine in law changes to protect press freedom.
