Greens Seek Right for Australians to Sue Platforms

Australians could gain the right to sue platforms for harm. Greens will back Labor's digital duty of care bill, due in parliament week of 12 October 2026, only with compensation claims. Sarah Hanson-Young says the eSafety commissioner, the watchdog, cannot enforce it alone. With the Coalition opposed, Greens support may decide if users get that legal route alongside regulator fines.
