I thank Ms Cummiskey and Ms Sweeney for their time and engagement, which have been very good. We look forward to engaging with Facebook and the other platform providers on the Digital Safety Commissioner Bill 2017. I ask that Facebook gives us the results of its investigation reviews as a follow-up to this committee hearing today, and that it convey the progress that it has made. We will do our own work as a committee, and we will proceed with legislation and regulation. We would like to hear a follow-up from Facebook on the progress that it has made in terms of self-regulation.

I propose that the committee publishes the opening statements and the submissions received on its website. Is that agreed? Agreed.
