Anthony Albanese gets a dixer about what the government is doing (this is pretty much the dixer, I am not joking – things get loose this close to the end of the year) and he uses it to thank Flossie, the 12 year old who did a school report on the impacts social media can have on the brains of children, and now wants students to sign a pledge that they won’t go on social media until they are over 16. She gets a round of applause from the chamber. (She also gave a friendship bracelet to the PM which gets an awww)
