NEWS | Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban takes effect on 10 December 2025 — yet silence reigns from newly appointed Communications Minister Anika Wells. Where is she? Why won’t she front the public on an issue affecting millions?

Courage Is The Cure discusses Communications Minister Anika Wells’ absence and lack of transparency regarding the upcoming under-16 social media ban in Australia.

OPINION | By COURAGE IS THE CURE

In today’s shifting media landscape, where truth often seems elusive, outlets like Redacted have gained traction by presenting themselves as bold defenders of unfiltered, anti-establishment journalism.

Hosted by Natali and Clayton Morris, Redacted seems to combat falsehoods and corporate storylines, part of the rebellion against propaganda.

But beneath this veneer of truth-seeking lies a question that demands scrutiny: Is Redacted genuinely independent, or is it a cog in a larger machine of narrative control?

My opinion—call it a conspiracy if you will—suggests that Redacted might be crafting a version of history for future generations, possibly at the behest of shadowy forces too cowardly to reveal themselves.

This is not a claim of fact, but a hypothesis rooted in scepticism, fuelled by patterns of newspeak, gaslighting, and memory holing that seem to pervade their coverage, particularly in segments like their June 8, 2025, episode titled "Why Are So Many Young People Having Strokes?"

NEWS | eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant addressed the National Press Club on the Under-16 Social Media Ban.

Her speech, titled "Swimming Between the Digital Flags," offered no specifics on how age verification will be implemented. This lack of clarity appears to be a deliberate move to deflect growing public frustration in Australia.

We did learn that YouTube will not be exempt from the ban, but Julie did acknowledge that despite the ban, now termed ‘delay’, social media platforms can be accessed in a ‘logged out’ state.

Coercive control is now a crime in Queensland. Oh, the irony.

Remember NO JAB NO JOB?
