Social Media Ban Kicks In & Don’t Quit Your Job…Just Yet

On a day that should be a huge victory for Communications Minister Anika Wells, celebrating the commencement of Australia's world-first social media ban for under 16's, her name is in the headlines for another reason.

The Minister is being grilled over parliamentary entitlements, but what are the rules around politicians and spending on the job?

Plus, as the year ends and we start to take stock of what work looked like in 2025, how do we make the best of our 9 to 5 in the new year? Lisa Lie has the answers.

And in headlines today, Millions of teenagers are now banned from social media as world-first laws aimed at better protecting children online come into force; The man who murdered Queensland woman Toyah Cordingly as she walked her dog on a beach north of Cairns, has been sentenced to life in prison; Former Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds has told the ABC that she doesn’t regret pursuing legal action against former staffer Brittney Higgins saying the fight to clear her name will be worth the cost even if it bankrupts her; Pamela Anderson has spoken about her romantic time with fellow actor Liam Neeson saying she laughed at reports it was a publicity stunt
