Shoebridge Says US Submission on Online Safety Laws an 'Extraordinary Intervention'
Senator David Shoebridge criticized a US submission on Australia's online safety laws, as debate continued over a separate proposal to use superannuation as housing collateral.

Australian Senator David Shoebridge described a submission from the United States regarding Australia's online safety laws as an "extraordinary intervention," according to a live political blog.
The comments came during a day of political discussion in Canberra that also touched on housing policy.
Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg said he supports "big debates" about housing, after proposing that Australians be allowed to use their superannuation as collateral for a home loan. The proposal has not been formally adopted as opposition policy, with Coalition leader Angus Taylor saying it was not official Coalition policy.
Bragg pointed to previous major debates in the 1980s and 1990s over national savings and housing, which he said contributed to the development of the superannuation guarantee, and said the retirement, housing and superannuation systems need to be calibrated to deliver the best outcomes for Australians.
