ACT says New Zealand isn’t ready to follow Australia with a youth social media ban.
An interim report from Parliament's education committee suggests we consider taking a similar approach to our neighbours, who introduced a ban yesterday.
It's found social media is exposing young people to a wide range of harm.
Act representative Parmjeet Parmar told Andrew Dickens we should watch how the policy unfolds in Australia before moving ahead with our own.
She says this is a natural experiment happening in real time, and it would be irresponsible to rush forward with a ban.
