Dog's breakfast': online safety laws face last hurdle

Key points

• Laws allowing Australians to opt out of social media algorithms are set to pass after Labor dropped a clause giving ministers power to ban certain content. The digital duty of care bill would also require social media companies to ensure under-18s are not exposed to harmful material, such as pornography and bullying.
• The coalition called the bill political censorship, but the Greens are unlikely to resist now the obstacle has been removed.
• The government will also introduce a 30 per cent minimum tax on discretionary trusts, which small business groups have criticised.
