It's worth making whatever kind of submission you can manage for this. The page even specifically notes: "Due to the short timeframe of this inquiry, the committee would appreciate submissions being limited to 1-2 pages."

This bill will affect all users of social media in Australia, and may have a particularly negative effect on Fediverse platforms (like Lemmy and Mastodon) which are operated by individuals or small organisations that may not have the resources to implement age verification.

I'm really looking forward to the next election...

Labor: "Let the record show how much we have done for Australia! We have built 30,000 houses for the over one million people we have granted visas to. We have committed to making it ever so slightly more difficult for teenager's to access social media! We have.... Checks notes.... We have changed some labelling requirements??? We... um... We.... We made up with China and India!!!! Also... We adopted the LNP tax cuts for the rich! Thank you for your support! We look forward to developing a future for all Australians for the next four years!"

Liberal: "We will eat the poor and they will like it".

Greens: "Oh! Look at all the fluffy bunnies! Uncontrolled migration doesn't affect housing and if you disagree you're racist! Nuclear power is evil coz reasons,,, Um, Chernobyl! White people and men are the spawn of Satan! Vote for us because we care!"

Remember people, your vote is 'important'.
