National proposes banning under-16s from social media, but its own coalition partners won't back it

National has put forward a bill banning under-16s from social media, with fines of up to 10% of global revenue for platforms that don't comply. Its coalition partners, New Zealand First and ACT, declined to support it. Peters stressed it was "a National bill, not a government bill." With 11 sitting days left, the bill cannot be debated before the election.
