Who do they think their audience is that they would actually relate to this nonsense?
She clearly wanted to live the right wing TradWife fantasy without having to live with the harsh realities of how hard parenting small children can be.

Iād agree with you in principle with this and I understand your sentiment in regards to this issue. However that being said I think given the world we live in and communication has changed I find that young people do need a phone . A basic one to communicate with their parents when they need to be picked up or are in a situation. As a youth worker some of the kids I worked with didnāt even have home phone numbers because the parents couldnāt afford the phone line connection so often the result was that they had seperate mobile phones on prepaid and managed by the parents. They had no mobile internet on their phones they only topped them with text and phone calls.
Given what I have seen on both of this issue itās not really clear but parents can (in the example I had) can limit the usage. Yes they donāt need the latest and greatest phones and yes you are correct some parents get them the phones and they do whatever on it.
Yes ban mobile phones in schools for these kids they can have it back at the end of the day would be worth it in my opinion. However you can blame the Information technology industry for now making mobile phones like mini education devices with Apps which is making kids totally dependant on technology.
Back in my day we didnāt have all this and well I sort of turned out okay.

Just buy them a Nokia brick alreadyā¦oh wait
You mean a 3310?
Oh.
Close enough. Still nothing too fancy if weāre getting serious about disciplining kids.
Anyway not surprised about Vikki Campion. That editorial had pretty much nil substance yet some continue to fall for that.

In Victoria, ACM had been printing Nineās The Age and Financial Review in Ballarat, which will now be printed by News Corp in Melbourne, which is moving its Port Melbourne facility to the western Melbourne suburb of Truganina.
Thatās the first time I hear News Corp is moving its printing plant from Port Melbourne (where it has been since the mid 1990s) to Truganina.

The Australian has been criticised for todayās cartoon by Johannes Leak on Joe Biden choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate in this yearās US presidential election.

I think that phrase is the point of the cartoon, from the cartoonistās perspective. Possibly the message being it looks like tokenism, although I do not particularly think that is the case here - but then again I donāt follow US news as closely as I once did.
