Australia's new social media ban for under-16s is being met with backlash from various MPs and critics alike. 

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has voiced disapproval with the idea and prospective voters have wondered how these restrictions will be implemented.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says people have also suggested the Government direct their attention to sugar taxes and regulating gambling instead.
