Just looking at Time magazine, Time 100, next 2026, the world's most influential rising stars on it is Annika Wells. I'm quoting here, Annika Wells has emerged as one of the most significant voices in a growing global movement to reframe the relationship between technology and the wellbeing of our children. This all comes part of the social media policy. The article ends by saying, quote, future generations will look back on her landmark changes as courageous and trailblazing. A couple of things for the Time magazine editors, just a little add-on here. There's no guarantee that the social media reforms have worked. The number of kids under 16 that can still access social media, be it Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, whatever it is, is immense. We hear that regularly on this station. Two, if you want to talk about how future generations will look back on her trailblazing, maybe have a look at how she's treated the Australian taxpayer as well when it comes to flying to events and putting her staff first in business class and expensive hotels in New York. Not too sure she should necessarily be a rising star. Maybe I'm just being negative.
