| 0:00.0 | I'm John Bachelor, TikTok, extremely controversial in the United States of America debates in |
| 0:06.6 | Congress about banning. In Australia, however, there's no controversy anymore. The government |
| 0:12.7 | has made a decision. I welcome Scott Maiman of CBS News in Brisbane. Scott, a very good day to you, |
| 0:20.5 | Anthony Albanese, your new prime minister and your parliament have made a decision about TikTok. |
| 0:25.5 | What is it? Good evening to you. |
| 0:28.4 | Good day, John. It's a major shift in policies. TikTok to be banned from all government |
