Social media platforms ‘need boundaries’ on what can be broadcast in Australia

Shadow Trade and Tourism Minister Kevin Hogan shares his stance on the ongoing stoush between the Australian government and X. The Nationals Party, of which Mr Hogan is a member, is attempting to balance advocating for free speech and ensuring a standard for what can be broadcast around the country. “It’s better for people to be able to say things and upset someone rather than not be able to say them at all,” Mr Hogan told Sky News Australia. “That being said, we do need boundaries. “The media, you guys, operate within certain standards – I think that needs to be put onto social media platforms."
