Senator Matt Canavan of the Nationals Party vehemently opposes the Albanese government's social media ban for children under 16, arguing it denies children's voices and replaces parental guidance with government intervention. The ban, which will take about 12 months to come into effect, was passed by the Senate after a rushed Senate inquiry.
