Perhaps our system will become the gold standard and other countries will look to us to see how to make this work.

Head 4(3) refers to the recording and photographing of a person using these services. The witnesses have suggested that the eventual Bill should include people who engaging in such activities outside the safe zones. How would that be enforced and managed? I want to tease this out. We have had major conversations about the difficulty of making this work, even within the zones. How might it work outside them? People can arguably take pictures around the space. Will the witnesses explain that to me? I am really interested to know how it might work.
