Ms Julie Ahern:

I will come in very briefly on the splitting of the two parts of this issue and the concerns outlined by the Senator about the pace of legislation and how we will struggle to keep up. Establishing an online safety commissioner now, even if it is not perfect, will effectively be the Government's biggest asset in keeping up with changes. This commissioner will be specifically tasked, under the legislation currently proposed, with keeping track of what is happening and to advise and put forward solutions. Setting a commissioner up now would be the biggest asset in trying to future-proof legislation, knowing what is coming down the line and how we need to go forward. This is on top of what Ms Ward mentioned, which is that we can be the global leader in regulation.
