   Yet to see the announcement of massive Australian government funding for places for teens to hang out AND improved public transport to get them there now that they won't be allowed on social media. Weird.

     About the only teen friendly place that a lot of towns have that doesn't cost money is a (likely badly maintained) skatepark that may or may not be easy to get to by public transport and likely isn't safe after dark. That's wildly inaccessible for disabled teens and is not enjoyable for even all teens who physically could skate. All for getting people of all ages off their screens and into the real world but people have to have places to go that don't require spending substantial money.
