TThe press conference starts like any other: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is grilled on everything from affordable housing and war in the Middle East to his relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Then, Lana, 11, picks up the microphone. “Do you think social media has an impact on kids?” asks the suburban Canberra primary-school student.
It’s a question that comes with several layers, and for Albanese, it was a subject that he felt there was the most comfort in responding. Additionally, it’s an issue that lies at the heart of the government’s policy—one that affects Lana and the other student reporters invited to interrogate Australia’s top politician for Behind the News, a long-running kids’ current-affairs show.
