Kate Chaney, to introduce Bill Banning AI child abuse applications
Independent deputy Kate Chaney Children’s sexual abuse will present an invoice today to stop AI technology that train or facilitate the production of materials.
The bill will make a crime a crime to download technology to create a child abuse material and to collect, scraping or distributing data in order to create technology training or to create child abuse.
Although it is important to regulate AI in Breakfast and AI more importantly (as the government says), it believes that parliament should also respond to certain gaps in which they emerge.
In order to regulate artificial intelligence, we must adopt a holistic approach, but we should be able to respond to the risks as it emerges. And this is an open space in our penalty code …
Currently, having these images is illegal, but it is not illegal to have such AI tools designed to create a child sexual abuse material. That is, it means that perpetrators can produce materials using images of real children, delete images, and then recreate and prevent perception at any time.
Chaney, the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, but the difficulty is to make a large number of “reports and consultations” while technology is developing rapidly.

The Assistant Deputy Minister is not a bargaining chip in the midst of PBS’s US tariff tensions’
The government said that the drug benefits plan (PBS) is not a “bargaining chip” for bringing the promise of making PBS prescription drugs cheaper.
Last week, the government explained that some regulations would be removed to allow the importation of more beef than the United States to Australia, which is something the Trump administration is looking for a public.
Emek said that the laws of biosyalities would not weaken in the process and that there is no coincidence in the timing of the US administration’s calls and ten years of examination.
The US pharmaceutical lobby invites Trump administration to slap tariffs in PBS.
Deputy Minister of Mental Health, Emma McBride, ABC News told Breakfast that the government did not change the position of the PBS on the negotiation table this morning.
PBS is not a bargaining chip, not for negotiation. The Labor Party introduced the pharmaceutical benefits plan to ensure that basic drugs exist for all Australians.

Labor to offer cheaper PBS medicine legislation to parliament this week
This week, the election commitments will advance another and bring legislation to parliament for cheaper drugs in PBS.
The new legislation, which fulfills a key campaign commitment, means that the prescription will be limited from January $ 25 in the Pharmaceutical Aid Program.
The government demonstrated this as a cost of living in relation to a similar measure introduced in 2023. Change will mean a 20% deduction in the maximum drug cost on PBS, and the worker will save $ 200 million per year.
Anthony Arbanese in question:
The size of your bank balance should not determine the quality of your health service. My government will continue to provide the cost of living for all Australians.
Minister of Health, Mark Butler, Added:
Cheaper drugs are good for hip pocket and are good for your health.
Drugs for general patients have not been so cheap since 2004.
