It's a big reform, but it isn't really going anywhere fast.

Yeah.

So Communications Minister Anika Wells, uh, introduced this bill on Thursday, uh, with only minor changes from the, uh, exposure draft.

And for, for listeners of the pod, they would've heard your interview with Anika and known that taking the, uh, ministerial discretion, uh, on defining, you know, serious harms out of the bill, um, they would've known that was in the works.

So not too much of a surprise, uh, there.

In terms of where to from, from here for the bill, I mean, there are Greens demands to toughen it by giving individuals a right to sue social media companies, uh, not just the regulator to do that.

Um, but the coalition are, are quite dead set against it, so it's pretty clear if Labor's gonna pass it, which way they're gonna need to go.

And that brings us to this case of the US potentially live streaming this execution later in the year, and the question this week has been would a law like the digital duty of care laws a- actually even help in blocking that from making it to Australia?
