I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee today. They spoke about the individual complaints mechanism. I am delighted to hear they are supportive of that because unless it is included, the legislation will not be as effective as we want it to be. It is vital that is included in the Bill.

Does Ms O'Sullivan think it is important for legislators, the Department and all of those who will ultimately be responsible for the implementation of the legislation to take into account of the lived experience of young people? For example, should there be a youth advisory committee to the media commission?
