That is great. It is good for people, and even ourselves, to have that information. When you go into politics you go into a certain role but if we come across this, what is it like for children? It is a scary environment. I agree with much of what Senator Seery Kearney said about YouTube. It is the big thing for kids. The big ambition is to be a YouTuber. It is so far removed from anything that any of us grew up with.

I thank our guests so much. It has been great. I am glad we had the time to have a really good detailed discussion. I thank everyone for coming in and all the members for being here and their engagement.

Do I have agreement to publish the opening statements to the website? Agreed
