It's absurd to read anything about Australia through the lens of an antipodean GBNews Overnight News Editor who's never visited the country.

Other crackin' GBNews headlines by James Saunders include:

* 'Women-only' block of London flats now accepts men who 'identify as women'

* UK town plans balaclava ban after masked youth crimewave - but burkas EXEMPT

etc. ~ https://muckrack.com/james-saunders/articles

Great source of the latest disinformation by the likes of Nigel Farage, Michael Portillo, Jacob Rees-Mogg, et al, but:

  The channel is described as right-wing on political issues.
  As of 2025, polling suggested that GB News is the least trusted of the five main news broadcasters in Britain.

As to the subject matter, few in Australia thought it would keep kids off of social media, at best most hoped it'd push the tide back a little and provide some leverage for parents to exert more pressure.

Kids flock to where other kids are, so far that's all the usual watering holes after side stepping bans .. it'll take a little longer for larger crowd shifts elsewhere.

I'm stating that GBNews is a cesspit of click / rage - bait headlines from the extreme end of the UK Conservative wing.

I've an interest in the spectrum of UK political opinion and reporting, however GBNews is not a source of balanced reasoned quality journalism, nor is it a source that has good local reporting from Australian stringers.

In general, it's not a HN worthy source.


Yes. I support a ban on women only spaces. Discrimination by gender is illegal.

Then why about dressing rooms etc? Simple, make individual cabins. Problem solved.


Give it a rest, nigel. Find some other place to peddle your malicious hatemongering.
