  • Meet The Teens Taking Australia's Social Media Ban To The High Court
    Dec 8 2025

    Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s starts tomorrow, but two determined teenagers are taking their objection all the way to the High Court.

    Backed by the Digital Freedom Project, Noah Jones and Macy Neyland argue the ban is partly unconstitutional, restricting young people's ability to discuss public life.

    We speak with Noah and Macy about their legal fight, their alternatives to the ban, and what they believe is lost when teens are forced offline.

    And in headlines today, A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook northeastern Japan overnight, prompting tsunami warnings and orders for about 90,000 residents to evacuate; Seven years after Toyah Cordingley's body was discovered on an isolated beach, former nurse Rajwinder Singh has been found guilty of her murder; A historic apology will be delivered to Aboriginal people as Victoria recognises its past mistreatment of Aboriginal people; Aussies Jacob Elordi, Rose Byrne & Joel Edgerton all nominated for Golden Globes
