As the much discussed 10 December date finally rolls around, the nation eagerly watches on.
From Shark Bay to Byron (which is currently aka Shark Bay), the U16s social media ban has officially come into force.
The long awaited ban which has caused consternation around the world will see teenagers in Australia blocked from using platforms that fall into the social media category.
The ban has caused strong emotions in varying sectors of the community, with many of the cookers now losing their mind about a Digital ID that will eventually turn us all into subservient citizens.
It's has however seen bosses of apprentices across out great southern land pleading with the government to actually go one step further, and include all apprentices in the ban.
"Yeah I don't give a fuck if they are over 18," laughed local builder Garry Hinds.
"Anyone who doesn't have their ticket yet should be banned from that shit," continued the man who spends way too much time commenting on shit on Facebook and has an IG explore page like a Wests Tigers Board member.
"Look at him," he said, pointing to the 17-year-old apprentice chippy who was engaged in a mindless TikyTok scroll whilst tasked with unwrapping a packet of skirting.
"Anyway, I speak for the entire industry when I say apprentices, regardless of age, should also be included in the ban."
The government is yet to comment on the proposal, but the Communications Minister has booked herself flights and a 5 star hotel nearby to come and talk to Garry.
More to come.
