Greens Push Tech Suing Rights Amid Labor’s Digital Law Shifts

The Greens advocate for Australian citizens to legally sue technology firms over online harms, aligning with Labor's Digital Duty of Care proposal. This initiative seeks stricter penalties for tech companies to address digital safety concerns.

Labor plans to introduce legislation this week covering online safety, gas reservation, and a minimum tax on discretionary trusts. The government also intends to reverse controversial ministerial powers under new digital safety laws.

Labor's proposed changes include making algorithmic decisions a formal choice, while the Greens push for enhanced legal recourse against tech giants. Both groups aim to strengthen digital accountability through targeted policy shifts.
