I assume Ms McSweeney will have listened to or received a copy of the transcript of the Minister's presentation yesterday with respect to the law, specifically the 2007 Act as it pertains to harassment by telephone. The Minister identified an area where he believed there may be a difference or gap in the law in this regard. Does McSweeney have a view on the Minister's point that it may be possible to address this very narrow issue? In my view, it is not a gap but something extra in respect of a basic law on electronic transmission, data protection and so forth. Does Twitter have a view in this regard?
