00:16
the mental health of one in two kids, so 50% of kids.
00:19
It is having a devastating impact on the mental health of too many of our young Australians.
00:25
Most content made for social media isn't really made for safety in mind, it's made so that
00:30
people can make money or can get popular.
00:32

00:37
you don't get invited to anything.
00:38

00:44
be incredibly damaging to people's mental health.
