We want parents to have peace of mind,&#8221; Albanese said when he introduced the bill to the lower house last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Senate passed the bill late Thursday by a vote of 34 to 19, the bill will return to the House of Representatives &#8211; where the government has a majority, meaning it will certainly pass &#8211; to approve amendments before it officially becomes law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law does not specify which platforms will be banned. Those decisions will be made later by the Australian Minister for Communications, who will seek advice from the eSafety Commissioner &#8211; the internet regulator who will enforce the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/saint-stephen-rises-in-chicago-one-of-our-most-beautiful-churches-in-america-celebrated-its-patron-saints-day-video-photo-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAINT STEPHEN RISES IN CHICAGO: One of our most beautiful churches in America celebrated its patron saint\u2019s day!
