I thank the Minister for his reply and welcome the fact that a review is under way. It is up to people to make their submissions to the review. I should have mentioned that a digital safety officer will be appointed, as the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment announced yesterday. The initiative is most welcome across the board because the two initiatives go hand in hand. This is all about safety. Recent scaremongering about false sites caused a problem for a while. This initiative is the way forward. It is most welcome that digital technology and artificial intelligence are being brought into the classroom and it is up to schools to embrace such technology. I look forward to seeing whatever changes are made in that regard.
