Ms Kathryn Walsh:

We have not engaged with social media companies. We have engaged with the organisations involved in monitoring and logging complaints and with that process. We believe it is the role of the legislators to make policy and then to enforce the regulations. We have not engaged with them but they are very aware of our position. We have our Stop Targeting Kids campaign on our own social media platforms but we do not engage with the companies. We work within the current statutory and self-regulatory systems to try to have the advertising removed. It is up to the policymakers, including the committee members as legislators, to bring about the change and to tell these organisations what needs to be done. They will not listen to NGOs but they will have to listen to the State, the regulators and policymakers.
