Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met Apple Executive Chair Tim Cook at Apple Park, where Cook praised Australia's social media restrictions as "world-leading."

Cook highlighted Apple's tools to help protect children online. Albanese emphasized the need for technology to serve people, not control them, as Australia seeks global tech support for safer internet and AI regulation.
