I have been caught slightly unawares. I thank our witnesses for their presentations. Many of the points have already been covered. Can the recommendations of the Future of Media Commission recommendations, which are due in July, be included in this Bill to avoid having to introduce further legislation and delaying this matter going forward?
The regulatory framework refers to defined categories of harmful online content and serious cyberbullying material. What is defined as serious material or should all cyberbullying material be categorised as such?
On the powers of the commissioner to investigate and impose sanctions and its compliance powers, what sanctions are being recommended by the Department? It is important that they are very strong.
