About this episode

John Cowan joins Tim Beveridge to discuss the implications of a proposed smartphone ban for under-16s.

ACT's David Seymour has floated the idea of a smartphone ban for under-16s to replace a social media ban, allowing teenagers to only use good old brick phones. Could this be a good alternative to the social media ban, or should this not be government decision? John Cowan joins Tim Beveridge for The Parenting Squad to discuss.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
