I understand. Are jurisdictions that have considered and not adopted that approach getting convictions? The committee is concerned that we have legislation that works and is a threat. I appreciate the point Dr. Schweppe makes about a conviction of that kind hanging around somebody for a very long time, potentially an unduly long time, particularly in the case of somebody very young and so on. One might look at spent convictions in that regard. In the context of social media and some of the difficulties we are seeing socially at the moment, we want legislation that is going to work and be a real deterrent. In the jurisdictions that have not taken that approach for the reasons Dr. Schweppe has outlined, how is it working and are they getting convictions?
