Late to the party, but House of Reps has been debating the Social Media Bans since 12:17pm.

Notably, no Labor members will speak according to Michael McCormack, currently on his feet. Not even the Minister? Kind of strange and gutless.

Legislation as written gives the Minister for Communications blanket powers to proscribe anything they consider 'social media'.

Current and future govts and ministers could wield the legislation like a weapon against virtually any platform that allows online communication, banning under-16s and forcing all other Australians to use identification to use them.

Edit: Corrected name of Coalition speaker, Wallace referred to Coleman and it was not Coleman himself speaking. Coleman spoke earlier.

Labor and the Coalition are combining to create a legislated weapon that can be deployed by the government in power, and specifically the Minster for Communications, against virtually any online platform, forcing every Australian to show identification to use it.

This is the largest digital power grab Australia's yet seen and eclipses virtually any other government short of the likes of China, Russia or North Korea.
