European parliamentary systems were pretty rudimentary back in 1786.
They've got a lot better since then. The Australian constitution got set
up in 1901 and missed the cutting edge stuff that the Swedes and the
Dutch worked out a few later. The 1948 German constitution copied them
and seems to work well.

 Australia now wants to ban kids below 16 years of age from participating in / using social media!
Ridiculous!!!

Less ridiculous to the parents of kids who have taken bad advice that they got from social media. Kids don't have good judgement - neither do you - but most of them get wiser as the get older and brain development settles down. They can't even get married without parental consent.

Kangaroos have more freedom there.

And most Australian kids can spell the word correctly. Kangaroos are wild animals, and can't screw up as thoroughly as kids can. They rarely commit suicide or become anorexic.
