I apologise for interrupting Ms Morgan, but my question is around guarding against algorithmic bias where a social media company or others are setting up that process. I got the impression from my engagement with the officials that the media commission will be addressing this issue. It is key that it does. I want to know this issue is being addressed and that we have the necessary strength of legislation to ensure that we can guard against bias, particularly bias especially based on gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
