Episode Details

A parliamentary inquiry will investigate how Australian children are being radicalised by extremist groups through online platforms, particularly video games. ASIO reports that 20 per cent of their priority counter-terrorism cases now involve young people, with 85 per cent being male. Countering violent extremism practitioner Peta Lowe explains how children are exposed to extremist symbols and language through gaming platforms like Roblox, and emphasises the need for parental awareness and regulation of online gaming spaces that were excluded from the under-16 social media ban.
