I will press the amendment with a sense of hope that the Minister will reflect. There is a reason legislation was drafted without the word "material" over the decades when it comes to incitement. There is now a reason in the more modern world for interpretations to be more defined because of the advent of technology and the disintermediation of some other mediums. We probably need to be more specific. This is why that word "material" is now required.
