With regard to the promised criminal justice (offences relating to information systems) Bill, in May 2014 the report of the Internet Content Governance Advisory Group, which was set up by the previous Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte, was published. It made two legislative recommendations, one related to the Non-Fatal Offences Against The Person Act 1997 and the other related to the Communications Regulation (Amendment) Act 2007. I raise this matter under the promised criminal justice (offences relation to information systems) Bill because of a blight on a great deal of political discourse, which is the issue of cyberbullying and the way in which some people are being attacked on the Internet in a totally ungoverned fashion.
