Pauline Hanson Opposes YouTube Ban for Under-16s, Says It Undermines Parental Authority

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is joining calls for the federal government to keep its hands off YouTube, amid reports Labor is quietly seeking to include the platform in its under-16 social media ban. Speaking with Jason Matthews, Hanson labelled the move government overreach, warning it strips authority from parents and disregards YouTube’s educational and family-friendly value. “They’re taking control out of parents’ hands,” she said, reaffirming her vote against the proposal in Parliament.
