If this is the end of Australian politicians on TikTok then consider this a fond farewell.
that the Australian government has banned video app TikTok from all official government devices, many people are wondering if politicians will delete their accounts.
Australia has followed the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada in issuing a ban on government devices, following concerns over the potential for data to be harvested and accessed by the Chinese government under national laws that can compel companies to hand over information. An honourable mention goes to former prime minister Scott Morrison, who posted videos including selfies with a dog and an attempt at speaking Chinese before deleting his account following his 2022 election loss.
In a video posted by the Australian Greens account, the party leader is featured next to the shinily-clad Shrek, which was a popular filter on the app. The video seems to have now been deleted from the Greens' account.The only context the member for Kennedy provides us with as to why he was belting out the 1978 hit by Boney M is that it was at a staff dinner.
