The Federal Government is calling on dating apps to work together to improve user safety by developing an industry-wide safety code.

It warned it would introduce legislation if safety on dating apps doesn’t improve.

The Government wants the measures introduced by mid-2024.

Safety code:
The Government has asked popular dating apps, like Bumble and Hinge, to develop and implement an industry-wide safety code.

The code could include more support for users, better contact between platforms and police, and greater responsibility for apps to identify poor behaviour.

The code would be voluntary.

Online dating safety:
According to a recent study by the Australian Institute of Criminology, three-quarters of online dating users in Australia have experienced sexual violence – including harassment, stalking, and being sent sexually abusive images.

The report found perpetrators of sexual violence tried to avoid repercussions by deleting their online dating accounts, or by 'unmatching' or blocking other users.

Industry response:
Match Group, which owns Tinder and Hinge, shared the Government’s “commitment to strengthen Australians’ safety”.

Bumble declined to comment to TDA. Grindr, the other dating platform that has participated in talks with the Government on this, was also contacted for comment, but had not responded at the time of publication.

Next steps:
Once the code is developed, it needs to be signed off by the eSafety Commissioner. It is expected to be in place by 30 June next year.

The Government has said it could draft new laws or regulations to address safety concerns if it isn’t satisfied with the measures put forward by the industry.

Minister for Communications, Michelle Rowland, said: “Dating apps are now the most common way to meet a partner in Australia, yet the level of violence experienced by users of these platforms is deeply concerning.”

News flashback: GameStop. Remember that? That time ordinary people dared to flip the script on Wall Street and turn a humble video game store into a global sensation. Now, there’s a brand new comedy movie, ‘Dumb Money’, all about what went down.

It all started with Keith Gill, aka 'Roaring Kitty’ on Reddit and Youtube - an everyday guy, financial analyst and investor. When Wall St predicted that GameStop’s shares would go down, Keith Gill decided to pour his life savings into making sure they were wrong, by buying shares in his favourite video game store. He posted about it on Reddit, where he started to go viral. That's when the chaos started - Reddit users worked together to stop rich bankers getting even richer off the back of a collapsing company they loved.

Boasting a star-studded cast including Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Shailene Woodley, America Ferrera and Seth Rogen, mark your calendars for the cinema debut of Dumb Money on 26 October - or be one of the first to see it at preview screenings this week!

Can we all agree to stop surfing with our pet pythons?

A man in the Gold Coast has been fined over $2,300 for surfing with his pet snake, Shiva.

The tattoo apprentice, Higor Fiuza, became known to authorities after a video of him taking his three-year-old carpet python into the surf went viral.

Fiuza told 9 News that Shiva would often swim in the water near him before returning to the board, “just cruising waiting for…the perfect wave”.

Jonathan McDonald, Senior Wildlife Officer at the Department of Environment and Science, said Fiuza “had a permit to keep native animals”.

However, Fiuza was issued a Penalty Infringement Notice for taking Shiva outside of his licenced premises without a permit.

"We do not want permit holders to be displaying their native animals in public unless it is done for a specific approved purpose and in a way that best provides for the welfare of the animal, the safety of the public and complies with the relevant codes," McDonald said.
