  • Featuring bullies in your “The Year That Made Me” segment is a terrible look, ABC.

    No one likes bullies. Don’t feature them.

  • Interesting and well considered

    For a while I thought of Sunday Extra as the little cousin to Saturday Extra, but through the choice of excellent and often left-field guests it has become my go to weekend choice. Great work Julian and team.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's in the Children’s Online Privacy Code?
Q: How does the code compare to other international frameworks like the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code, and what are its novel features?
The code aligns with international ideas but adds novel two-step consent including child assent, a requirement to notify when location tracking occurs, and higher default privacy protections at signup with choices to enable additional data collection, plus enforcement under existing powers of the Privacy Act.
What's in the Children’s Online Privacy Code?
Q: What are the privacy protections currently for Children Online in Australia, and how would this code change things?
Currently, there are general protections under the Privacy Act with no explicit child-specific protections. The code would introduce child-focused safeguards, broaden protections across more online contexts, and provide a framework for consent, assent, and age-appropriate notices, with stronger enforcement if non-compliance occurs.
'Reds under the bed' - 75 years on from the Communist Party case
Q: What would have happened if the referendum to empower Parliament had passed?
The government could have dissolved a party more easily under a broadened constitutional provision, potentially giving Parliament sweeping powers to target political groups, which the High Court would likely scrutinize closely.
'Reds under the bed' - 75 years on from the Communist Party case
Q: Why did the court rule against dissolving the Communist Party under the defence power?
Because the court held that Parliament cannot determine the dissolution and that such decisions about political parties and constitutional order must come from the judiciary, preserving constitutional limits on executive power.
Canada's secularism law tested in the Supreme Court
Q: When is the Supreme Court expected to announce their decision and do you have a sense of which way it might go?
The decision is anticipated by November, with a potential declaration or ruling that clarifies how the notwithstanding clause interacts with equal rights, though the outcome depends on how the justices interpret the balance between parliamentary power and constitutional protections.
