Any proposal to ban children from social media would need to ensure young Australians can still connect with peers online, the internet safety watchdog says. Login or signup to continue reading As the federal government looks to pass its proposal to ban under 16s from using social media platforms, eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant says children must be protected online, but also still need to communicate via the internet. "We've only seen the social media sites moving incrementally, not monumentally, in terms of keeping kids safe and so we understand the ideas behind this," Ms Inman Grant told ABC Radio on Monday. "We also need to make sure that particularly vulnerable and marginalised kids still have a way to connect and to create and explore. "When we implement what will become the law, we'll try and do this in a way that is really protective of the range of children's rights, including their ability to communicate and express themselves online." Under the proposal, which has support from both the government and the opposition, under 16s would be barred from using Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok. Social media companies would be fined up to $50 million for breaches of the law if they do not take reasonable steps to prevent young people from having an account. The laws will come into effect a year from when they pass parliament. There has been criticism the world-first laws have been rushed, with independent senator David Pocock saying there has not been enough scrutiny of the proposal. Experts will appear before a parliamentary inquiry into the social media ban on Monday, including mental health organisation Headspace and the Australian Information Commissioner. Senator Pocock said social media harms needed to be addressed, but the laws had to be looked over properly. "This seems like policy on the run, that they're taking this approach where they're saying, 'well this is a silver bullet'," he told ABC Radio. "The major parties ...are happy to forgo all scrutiny and just ram something through when, one, it's in their self interest, or two, they can then hold that up going into an election saying 'well, at least we've done something'."

Iran says will hold nuclear talks with France, Germany, UK on Friday

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel says he was surprised by reports of Shaq Barrett's unretirement planCurt Cignetti's Bold Prediction Resurfaces Before Indiana-Ohio State Matchup

Criminal gangs are, they said, charging up to €8,000 for illegal travel packages that they present as a safer option than crossing the English Channel from France on small boats. The interceptions in Northern Ireland have arisen from a UK home office campaign called Operation Comby, which began last April. It is an intensification of the routine immigration intelligence-led Operation Gull, a long-standing joint effort with An Garda Síochána to stamp out abuse of the Common Travel Area (CTA). The CTA allows British and Irish citizens to travel without passports between Ireland, Britain, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. It has previously been claimed that irregular migrants are using Belfast as a back door into the Republic. A three-day operation focusing on travel in the other direction this week led to 35 arrests in Ireland and the UK and the seizure of £5,000 (€6,000) in cash, a car and two sets of forged documents, the Home Office said. Led by the UK’s immigration enforcement criminal and financial investigations team, in partnership with the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Garda, it involved officers in the ports and airports of Northern Ireland, Manchester, Liverpool, Holyhead and Cairnryan. UK home office officials detained four individuals trying to board ferries or aircraft in Belfast on Tuesday. One was an Iranian who appeared to have travelled from Barcelona to Dublin posing as a Ukrainian. He was stopped by two immigration enforcement officials as he approached the boarding card turnstiles at Belfast airport. Within minutes, the officers suspected his Ukrainian passport was counterfeit and he admitted to being Iranian. Officers said the detention could be “low-hanging fruit” that led to a potential smuggling gang in Dublin or elsewhere in Europe using the CTA as a back door to Britain. Jonathan Evans, the inspector at the criminal and financial investigations unit in immigration enforcement in Belfast, said the numerous stamps in the man’s passport had been designed to make it look like he was well-travelled. This suggested the document had been prepared by a criminal gang “to make it look like he has gone through multiple border controls previously” with immigration stamps from other countries. UK border security minister Angela Eagle said: “Driven by greed, these gangs have no regard for human life or safety, charging outrageous fees, preying on those desperate to escape hardship and forcing them into illegal and dangerous situations.” The surge in the number of asylum seekers going the other direction from Britain to Belfast and then Dublin was the centre of a political row in Ireland earlier this year after Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said there was anecdotal evidence that the sharp rise in the numbers seeking international protection were entering via Northern Ireland. The number of asylum applications in the State has risen from just under 5,000 in 2019 to more than 17,536 so far this year, according to official data. Maintaining the invisible border between Northern Ireland and the Republic was a political red line during the Brexit negotiations, with Ireland and the European Union facing down Brexiteers who wanted a hard border. Mr Evans said there was evidence that people-smuggling gangs were now also targeting Dublin as a back door to the UK as an alternative to crossing the channel on small boats. “They are exploiting the Common Travel Area in a way they didn’t before. So what is happening now is that we are using this kind of overt approach of Comby to raise public awareness. This is all about pushing out the gangs,” he said. Debriefing from people desperate enough to pay the gangs to get to Belfast from Dublin show they charge “between €5,000 and €8,000 for the flight from Europe, counterfeit documents, the trip to Belfast and for the ticket to wherever their destination is in the UK”. “It might cost the gangs €1,000 all in. It is a lucrative business,” Mr Evans added. The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) said in a statement on Thursday night: “A lot of people who illegally enter Ireland are exploited and this operation [Comby] is focused on protecting vulnerable people and bringing crime gangs involved in people smuggling and exploitation to justice. “The Common Travel Area provides important privileges to the citizens of Ireland and the UK, but it also presents challenges to policing and immigration enforcement in both jurisdictions, with organised criminals seeking to exploit these privileges,” Gda Det Chief Supt Aidan Minnock, head of the GNIB, said. “I am delighted to say that in combating these challenges and targeting organised criminals, that An Garda Síochána, the Home Office and the PSNI have excellent partnerships, with strong working relationships. “These organised crime gangs do not recognise borders, so it is vital that immigration enforcement agencies work in cohesion to ensure the border is not an obstacle to policing, but rather works to our advantage as we combine forces in our shared objectives to disrupt organised criminals, maintain the integrity of the Common Travel Area and protect vulnerable persons in society. The last three days of action on Operation Comby is an example of how our shared efforts can disrupt criminality, with 35 persons arrested, €6,000 of criminal cash, a car and fraudulent identity documents seized.” – GuardianThieves stole nearly all of this Colerain Township woman's SNAP benefits.

Texans foiled by mistake after mistake in 32-27 loss to Titans

Keir Starmer has attempted to relaunch his struggling government with a new set of six “milestones” aimed at persuading voters he is making progress. After five months in Downing Street beset by scandals over freebies and the loss of his chief of staff and a cabinet minister, the prime minister delivered a keynote speech at Pinewood Studios in a bid to steady his ship. But in a sign of the difficult task ahead of him, his address to an event packed with Labour supporters was met with a muted audience response and little applause. It reflected the findings of a new national poll from Find Out Now UK that puts Labour in third place on 23 per cent, behind the Tories on 26 per cent and Nigel Farage’ s Reform UK on 24 per cent. And the event was overshadowed by a warning from the Bank of England that his chancellor’s much-criticised Budget would lead to job losses. Sir Keir tried to inject some energy into his flagging government by announcing that his “milestones” were raising living standards, building 1.5 million homes, putting 13,000 new police on the beat, giving children the best start in life, ending hospital backlogs, and securing green energy. But in a 54-minute speech and question-and-answer session, he appeared quickly to come unstuck on some of his past promises. He was accused of watering down a previous pledge by stating that only 95 per cent of energy will be “clean” by 2030, rather than 100 per cent as before. Energy secretary Ed Miliband was deployed to provide reassurance that the plan had not changed. And he downgraded the promise of economic growth – previously the centre of Labour’s election campaign – to a detail after “raising living standards”. There was barely a mention of a previous pledge to hire 6,500 new teachers. There was also no mention of domestic abuse despite representatives of campaign groups on the issue being in the audience. But a defiant prime minister, who joked about how he could be the next James Bond after appearing at the studios where the 007 films were made, insisted that his government is delivering for the country. Sir Keir said: “This government was elected to deliver real change for working people – and that is exactly what we are doing. “We have already stabilised the economy, secured an extra £26bn for the NHS and launched a Border Security Command to tackle illegal migration. “Faced with a dire inheritance, we know that we cannot deliver our plan for change alone. Mission-led government means doing things differently, and a decade of national renewal will require the skills and determination of us all.” New cabinet secretary Sir Chris Wormald has been charged with rewiring the civil service to deliver the plan, he said. The prime minister has repeated promises to cut immigration but stopped short of setting any targets. Sir Keir pledged his government would “reduce immigration – legal and illegal” but was unclear how this would be achieved. Under repeated questioning from reporters as to why he had not included immigration in the list of six “milestones, he said cutting immigration “will only be done with a serious plan” and – referring to “illegal” immigration – repeated his argument that the only way to do this would be to go after people-smuggling gangs. Opposition leader Kemi Badenoch said the prime minister offered “nothing concrete on immigration – because Labour have no plan to control numbers” while Reform UK criticised him for not including “any measurable targets” in his milestones. Voters want “a serious plan to ensure we’ve got control of our borders, not arbitrary caps, not gimmicks”, the prime minister said. His six milestones were meant to go alongside three foundations of economic stability, national security and secure borders. Previously, he had announced five missions and six first steps which were entwined into his “plan for change” document. The event gave the impression of a major rally and election manifesto launch even though the audience did not appear to be energised by the content of the prime minister’s speech. But his biggest headache came from the Bank of England, with its survey of chief financial officers showing the majority expect lower profit margins, higher prices and lower employment. More than a third warned of lower wages. Following the Budget, the Bank of England’s survey of small, medium and large businesses shows that 59 per cent of firms expect lower profit margins, 54 per cent expect to raise prices, 54 per cent expect lower employment and 38 per cent expect to pay lower wages than they otherwise would have done. Andrew Griffith, shadow business and trade secretary, said: “The Bank is right to warn that businesses are taking a hit from Labour’s Budget. Ultimately, it’s working people who will pay the price as employers scale back on pay, cut jobs and raise prices for everyday items. “If Labour are serious about growth, they should listen to the very real concerns from business.” While there was some welcome for the speech, there were warnings that Sir Keir’s government will need to find new investment to achieve his milestones. Patricia Marquis, executive director of the Royal College of Nurses (RCN) England, said: “To achieve his plan, the prime minister needs to join the dots between hitting NHS targets and solving the crisis in nursing. We deliver the vast majority of care, but our workforce is severely depleted and recruitment is collapsing. This impacts every service, including non-urgent, the very issue he wants to address. A plan for change needs a plan to turn our profession around.” This came as Sir Keir again refused to repeat the recent pledge by his chancellor of “no new taxes” – giving rise to concerns about another tax raid in the spring. He did receive some support from the right-wing Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), previously associated with Liz Truss’s disastrous economic policy. Dr Kristian Niemietz, head of political economy at the IEA, said: “Britain’s inability to build anything is not just a problem for one or two sectors of the economy in isolation: it is the mother of all problems, affecting nearly every part of the economy to varying degrees. The government’s recognition of this is welcome, and the prime minister is right to point out that our planning system has not just left us short of homes but of key infrastructure too, including transport and energy.”Global Automated Material Handling AMH Market Set For 11.7% Growth, Reaching $81.81 Billion By 2028
