Over eight years, Ethan and his wife went through nine rounds of IVF in Melbourne. They travelled to Spain for two more, without success. “I thought maybe the universe had decided we’re not supposed to have kids,” says Ethan, who asked for his real name not to be published. Finally, someone suggested surrogacy. “We kind of looked at each other,” Ethan says. “It’s the last station on the track.” Australian states and territories allow altruistic surrogacy, where the only payment allowed is to cover the surrogates’s expenses. Commercial surrogacy is illegal, so hundreds of people head overseas each year chasing their dreams of parenthood. The Australian Law Reform Commission is looking at how to better regulate surrogacy and harmonise laws so they are consistent with international legal obligations, while protecting human rights – particularly the rights and best interests of the child. Among the more than 400 submissions to the ALRC are tales of complicated legal scenarios and painful wrangling about medical issues.  » Read More

The latest government measure aimed at curbing digital harm comes after an under-16 social media ban was announced last month. The United Kingdom has proposed an overnight social media curfew for older teenagers as part of the government’s latest push to protect minors from digital harm, though users will be permitted to bypass the restrictions. The Labour administration announced the plans on Wednesday, outlining a six-hour default lockout from midnight to 6am for 16- and 17-year-olds on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Under the proposal, highly engaging mechanisms, such as autoplay videos and infinite scrolling, would also be deactivated by default for this age group to encourage better sleep and focus. The initiative follows a June announcement by outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who unveiled a blanket ban on social media for children under 16 slated to take effect in 2027. While the younger cohort faces a strict prohibition on major networks, ministers chose a softer approach for older adolescents. The UK’s restrictions reflect a rapidly growing global crackdown on young people’s social media access.  » Read More
