Brilliant conversation hosted by @NAPCAN_AU #ncpw23 about financial investment into children's safety. Key message from @BessellSharon - in a country as wealthy as Australia our aim should be to END child poverty not just reduce it. Budgets should reflect our care for children.

We welcome the Australian government's decision to *not* require sites to implement age verification technology. Age verification comes with unreasonable privacy and digital security risks, as well as critical implementation and effectiveness issues. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Amazed by Y&R’s @LouWelland who just facilitated her first #youth panel discussion today celebrating @CRISconsortium research insights. Key takeaway: let's empower youth collaborators by inviting them to new spaces, offering new information and allowing them to solve challenges.
