Remember those gas / fossil fuel merkins not paying any / much tax ? Well you can add Apple, Amazon, News Ltd etc to that list and be glad to hear that the loop holes just got much smaller.

Billionaire businesses dodging the taxman cop a reality check

They may not be breaking the law, but the taxes multinationals pay are not proportional to the profits they are raking in. That’s something laws passed earlier this week seek to change.

I wonder if LU is going to be caught up in the U16 social media laws?

That would put an end to Gronksplaining and promote peace and electricity in the Ukraine.

Plus it doesn't even come into effect until end 2025 and I'll be 16 by then.

are your sure?

Australia's social media ban for children under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery

The government's new laws banning children under 16 from having an account with some social media platforms won't take effect for at least 12 months. So what will happen before then?

www.abc.net.au

However, it does not name specific platforms that will be subject to the ban.

Instead, the legislation defines an "age-restricted social media platform" as including services where:

1. the "sole purpose, or a significant purpose" is to enable "online social interaction" between people
2. people can "link to, or interact with" others on the service
3. people can "post material", or
4. it falls under other conditions as set out in the legislation.

Sounds like a forum fits the definition

TBH I don't think the government even know yet, they just wanted to get it through before xmas
