Coming into this meeting, I thought it would be a continuation of the committee's engagement on the prelegislative scrutiny of the online safety and media regulation Bill. Will Ms Quill and Mr. Shanley clarify what has changed for this committee with regard to our work? Have the goalposts moved for what the Department is doing compared with the public consultations with a number of key stakeholders which we have been engaged in over recent months?

The aim of the establishment of the Future of Media Commission was to produce a report to submit to the Government in July as mandated. It was expected that the Government would publish this report once it had an opportunity to consider it. Where will that sit and will this committee get an opportunity to review that?
