A quiet afternoon at the river.

Yarra River Trail, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

A photograph shot at a distance across a gently rippled river. On the other side of the river on the stone-brick river bank is an asphalt trail with three bicycle riders evenly spaced riding towards the right, with a younger rider leading at the front on the right. Cutting diagonally from the centre left to the middle-upper right is another asphalt trail which joins on (at the lower left), and there is a pedestrian walking down this trail. The pedestrian is positioned in the photograph between the centre and right-most cyclist, and the pedestrian's feet are at about the chest-level of the riders. The rest of the land is evenly-coloured green grass. There is a sign to the left of the left-most cyclist that says "CAPITAL HILL TRAIL." At the top of the grassed area is a road, with poles and parked cars. There is another trail at the road level with some more pedestrians on the left of the frame. In the background are trees with muted-colour leaves and a gentle dirt hillside.

My great failure in life is that I never put myself in a position to monetise being this embarrassingly incompetent.

How will the changes work, and will they keep kids safe?

Search engines will have a suite of options to choose from for checking the ages of their Australian users.

There are seven main methods listed in the new regulations:

• Photo ID checks
• Face scanning age estimation tools
• Credit card checks
• Digital ID
• Vouching by the parent of a young person
• Using Al to guess a user's age based on the data the company already has
• Relying on a third party that has already checked the user's age

They are similar if not identical options to those being considered as part of the teen social media ban, and some of them have been tested as part of the recent age-assurance technical trial, with mixed results.

Age-checking tech for social media ban mistakes kids for 37-year-olds

Children as young as 15 were repeatedly misidentified as being in their 20s and 30s during government tests of age-checking tools, sowing new doubts about whether the teen social media ban is viable.

ALT

He also warned the new rules for search engines could be circumvented using virtual private networks (VPNs).

"If the ambition of the government is to prevent children from accessing pornography, they're forgetting straight away the skills of these young people," he said.

Beyond concerns about the accuracy of age-assurance technology and the VPN workaround, the new search engine rules will still allow users to access adult content simply by not logging in.

A photo of a frozen food packet which reads "Mini potato cakes/scallops/fritters".

These are three different regional names for slices of potato that have been battered and fried. Arguing about the "true" name for this food is a popular Australian pastime.
