Dr. Karen McAuley:

The Chair might interrupt me if I am speaking off point, but provisions are made under head 54A for prospective sanctions for non-compliance with commission directions. As an organisation, we are not best placed to comment on the prospective efficacy of those sanctions. We would like to think that they might work as a deterrent.

We welcome an important aspect of the Bill, although it needs further development, namely, the focus on prevention and early intervention, on trying to reduce children's exposure to harmful content, and on putting in place a system that understands what that means and is able to deal with it appropriately in the interests of children.
