Shared responsibility is crucial for online safety, mirroring the layered approach of road safety systems

In Short:
– Online safety requires shared responsibility from parents, schools, governments, and tech companies.
– A cohesive approach is needed to enhance digital literacy and user security.

On this episode of Ticker Clicks, host Jacqueline Jayne asks the big questions: who is responsible for online safety?

As technology becomes integral to our lives, the question of shared responsibility grows more pressing. Everyone, from parents to tech companies, plays a role in online safety, yet clear structures are lacking.

To understand this, consider road safety: Parents educate children, schools reinforce lessons, and governments implement regulations.

In contrast, online safety lacks such a cohesive system.Parents often struggle to guide children on digital behaviour, while schools provide inconsistent lessons. Governments continue to lag in setting comprehensive protections, and tech companies frequently favour convenience over user safety.

Australia’s CPI rose 3.0% in August 2025, driven by a 24.6% surge in electricity costs amid new relief measures.

Australia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.0% over the 12 months to August 2025, up from 2.8% in July, marking the highest annual inflation since July 2024, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Electricity costs surged 24.6% due to the end of state government rebates, though monthly electricity prices fell 6.3% in August thanks to new Commonwealth Energy Bill Relief Fund payments in NSW and ACT.
