Albanese government flags raft of new laws to target big tech

The federal government has set its sights on big tech companies – flagging a raft of new laws. Labor has suggested taxing big tech firms to compensate news media providers after social media giant Meta pulled out of the News Media Bargaining Code in March. The Prime Minister is promising to protect Australia's young people online by enforcing age restrictions on social media. The Opposition is describing the government's new approach as a distraction despite calling for a similar scheme in June.
