  "summary": "Parents of two Australian surfers killed in a shooting in Mexico have flown to Mexico City to attend the trial of the alleged killers. The incident has sparked calls for the Labor Party to toughen lobbying rules, as the communications minister, Anika Wells, has challenged the Coalition and the Greens to pass legislation strengthening powers for the eSafety Commissioner related to the social media ban for under 16s. Labor is set to try and secure passage of the legislation in Parliament this week, which would toughen information-gathering powers to investigate non-compliance by social media platforms related to the ban, and double the maximum penalty for breaches to nearly $110 million.",
