MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS ANIKA WELLS: Thank you, Vicki Brady, for the introduction. 

The Albanese Government’s world-leading social media reforms are another step closer with State and Territory Education Ministers to be briefed today by the Minister for Communications and the eSafety Commissioner.

Inclusion, diversity and athletic prowess were on display at the 2025 Virtus World Athletics Championships held in Brisbane.

A national education campaign to prepare Australians for the Albanese Government’s world leading social media minimum age laws will begin this Sunday.

The Albanese Government has appointed four new members to the First Nations Digital Inclusion Advisory Group.

The Albanese Government is boosting oversight of the critical Triple Zero service, through legislation to bolster the powers of the Triple Zero Custodian, with a Bill introduced to Parliament today.…

Australians are rightly shocked and angry at Optus’ recent outage which saw over 600 Triple Zero calls fail to connect.

Today I met with the Group CEO of Singtel, Mr Yuen Kuan Moon, to convey the Australian Government's serious concern over the Optus Triple Zero outage and reinforce that it must never happen again.  

The Albanese Government’s support for major sporting events in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032 continues this week with the start of the 2025 ICF Slalom World Championships.
